Kon....my country in 2001 had the greatest act of terrorism committed to it that world has seen. Wars are one thing. But 911 was something else. For the near last decade that day has shaped our governments thinking and policies.
Our EMP programs came in part because, we knew that ultimately that this was going to get down to nuclear terrorism. So we are watching out for country. We are paying attention to the world events that can effect them. But the cost of these devices did not break the US economy.
In fact, I just just was able to provide a American circuit board manufacture the leads to acquiring contracts for making the circuit boards of the EMP weapons. That is income to a economically repressed area in New York state. A factory that was nearly shut down by the recession, I think will soon be opened to 400 employees on the production line to make the circuit boards.
So? I just provided jobs and a provided new tool for the defense of the country.
Dude you will like this. Know what the Chinese opinion is of Obama/Clinton's Syrian position?
I quote a Chinese government paper "most Arab countries have realized that the United States and Europe are hiding a dagger behind the smile."
There you have it. Obama has been in negotiations with the Chinese for 3 years on a number of issues.....they consider him 'a smile with a hidden dagger.'
That is some great trust making there.......)))<---Obama smiles and a hidden dagger :::::|========>
Obama said "sorry" to fast on the Koran burning Dude. He should have gotten a joint Afghan and US investigation on the incident. That would have given time to the issue to cool. But MR. I AM SORRY took responsibility for it with the 'sorry'.
The word, I am getting thru the back channels was the Korans were used by Taliban Prisoners at the base. They had been using them to write messages to each other. Message on the forces they saw. Escape notes and such.
WEll.....the US military manual.....that little green book that you want used at GITMO with GWB.....says you destroy all said materials have been used in prisoner communications.They went by the little green army manual to burn the Korans.
Obama's Sorry did not explain the reason the Koran were burned. Because he did not have a investigation to know why. Karzia did not help either. Soon Obama said sorry....Karzia locked it way by pointing at a American Officer at base for making a order to destroy the Korans. Karzia did not explain it either. But I can see a pro Taliban supporter slipping the prisoner Korans into the trash real easily as well.
I don't think either of them know what really happened here.
Anyways.....the 2 of the 3 REP canidates are saying enough. Bring em home and bring em home now.
Dude....did you hear that the REP canidates are changing their positions on a extended stay to 'nation building in Afghanistan' thru next year? President Obama position is the stay and nation build the poorest country on earth. Even though presently, you have Afghan officials killing unsuspecting American military in Kabul government ministries.
Both Romney and Grinrich are saying it is time for a 'full pull out of American and NATO forces from Afghanistan'.
Dang Dude.....kind of reminds me of the DEM flipping on Iraq, yes? We both know what that did to GWB.
The country is tired of Afghanistan. So? We exit and leave it to fall to the Taliban and alQeada and it turns into another Syria. Civil war.
Obama's argument that we need to stay and see it does not become a haven for terrorism with Nation building is weak. And very costly, I might add. There are other "havens for terrorism coming in the world". Egypt for one. So it is time to cut our loses, Dude.
What is the topic, Kon? Kicking the US? Sorry not here to kick my country.
I was in the Baltic countries after Russia left. I saw what Russian troops did to them. I have sent athletes to compete in Russia. They gave me direct first hand reports on Russia. I can read the net and I have studied Russian political theory in college. Here we call it 'comparative political science'. Were we compare the governments and political movements of the world. Also I am former military. We study a number of foreign military.
So?
So Kon try again. Many would consider me a expert in Russian military technology, the Russian military industrial complex, Russian geo politics, and Russian modern history. But I am little weak in the Russian classics, ballet, music and language. They just did not seem important to know during the cold war when Russia had nucs pointed at us. Just like Putin's new 400 ICBMs will be.
Putin is kicking us back to the Cold War, Kon. But with this with a Ronald Reagon star war technology.....Russia is not even on the playing field. But hey it is your tax Ruble.If Mr. Putin wants to spend it for out dated weapons technologies....he will soon be in power to do so. Who I am to say no?))
Kon, don't trust me. Ask some of your Russian physics friends what directed energy weapons like EMP weapons can do. They have studied it. To finish. I will quote Nicholas Teslta for you.....who invented wireless transmitted energy.
"Airplanes will fall out of the skies like leaves."
They did not have ICBMs back in the 1920 and 30s when Testla did his work. So you have to give him a break. But if it will works on planes, it will work on ICBMs and incoming warheads. Not only that.....since we begin to field them in 2013, we have already done the live fire testing of them. We don't field weapons systems that don't work. You all should know that by now.
So I could care about the distance a fly can walk, if Russia reloads with Putin's weapon's modnerization program. It is just less food for Russian kids and less winter heating oil for your homes and a broken Russian economy in the future.
New names and face are emerging in Egyptian Ara Spring revolutions. Just with a lot of old ideas. Funny our present administration does not say anything about them.
This coming this month's American Legion magazine.
I quote:
"On Feb 19,2011 two days after Mubark resigned, one of the Muslimbrother prominent thinkers, Sheikh Yusef Abdullah al-Qaradawi, preached openly to one million people in Cairo, ending a 50 year exile. Earlier on his TV show al-Qaradawi had preach suiciede bombings against both Isreali and American forces in Iraq. In a 2009 sermon on al-Jezeera he prayed,"Oh Alla take the Jews, the teacherous aggressors.....do not spare a single one of them. Oh Alla, count their numbers and kill them, down to the last one."
Like Khonenei, al-Qaradawi had been banned from Egypt by Mubark post the Sadat murder. Now back in Egypt, he has a position to instigate Sharia Law and bring the country into hard line Islamic ways.
Why this administration could not see this coming has to be one of the biggest question marks to Obama Presidency. They had USARMY intell from Iraq that said if you release the 180,000 captured foreign fighter from the country.....bad things in the region were going to happen. Yet that is exactly what they did.
Then when the Arab spring did break out, the Obama administration was basically no were to be seen until it got to Libya and Qdaffi. Even the Shan of Iran received cancer treatments here in the US to his death as Khomenie took over in Iran. Yet this administration let Mubark the one of two men that had the courage to make peace with Israel be led to Egyptian gallows. Because that is were he is headed, assuming he lives long enough to see the noose.
Loyalty to your friends and to those trying to do the right things in world goes a long ways.
Even though Obama stood on the Egyptian sidelines, what happened? 27 some Egyptian and some Foriegn NGO are today facing Egyptian court for charges that they took 'illegal foreign money' to support political change in Egypt. Talk about a trumped up charge. Illegal foreign money? For political change? The trial of these 27 is really to say that they took CIA money for their democracy programs. Programs that the US and other countries have run in Poland, Check Rep, and other countries following the fall of Russia. They help to bring about democratic institutions and courts.
But not in Egypt, were they been stimied in this frivilious court case, likely made by the Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qarawiri.
So there you have it. If you still want to raise a democracy flag over Egypt.....you better find a way to remove al-Qarawiri from power. Because soon it will be the Supreme Leader a-Qarawiri of Egypt.
Sorry typo. Yep the one and same. Grandaddy never saw old Pancho but he was down in Mexico chasing him. As I understand it, he was with Black Jack Perishing unit. They developed a friendship.
Grandaddy was a enlisted. Was working his way thru the ranks. Blackjack eventually got him a officer commission from being a sergeant.
Then when WWI started. Blackjack was made head of the American Expiditionary forces in Europe. Grandad was made a Major in the Michigan 24th division. But Perishing did not give him a staff position. He was wounded in a charge on the German trenches.
It is funny. We make a hero of old Pancho with one Willie Nelson song. When really he was little better than a bank robber. He was robbing banks in Texas with his Mexican gang. Then skipping back across the border to spend the loot. I know he was the Mexican version of Robin Hood. So Willie has a reason for the song. But Americans did not think of old Pancho as a Robin Hood back then.....having banks robbed and Texas border towns shot up. They had a few other descriptive words for him.....that Willie did not include in his song.
Phil Mayer stepped to the plate and gave Obama's PAC a cool $1m. Over the last 5 years, Mather had to figure Obama earned him over $1m in rhant topics to place into his shows and programming. So it was a little pay back to the President. Mayer knows a good rhant maker when he sees one.Keeping Obama in office is money in Mayer pocket's for the next 4 years.
The Orlando $30K per plate funder raised over $200,000 for Obama reelection. Some 70 were invited. I bet they did not have McDees Big Macs for diner.
Another OWS looney killed a man in South Carolina. A naked man stole a fire truck that had been sent to a fire. Then ran over a man on the side walk. When pulled from the wrecked fire engine, the naked man began to fight with police. That fits my description of a OWS.
Pakistan has urged the Taliban and alQeada to have peace talks with the Afghans. This one cost the US a bundle in $s. The Pakistani don't do anything with out a dollar attached.
A PA judge....and convert to Islam and former Iraq VET...tossed out the case of a Muslim man that had physically attacked a holloween customed man. The man was dressed as zombied Mohommad.
Judge Martin tossed the case....saying Elbayony was "obliged" to attack Ernie Pierce who was dressed as Mohommad because of his "religion and culture"
Judge Martin then pulled a Koran from his bar and said....and said Pierce was a "doofus" and had caused the incident.
Talk about the getting the wrong judge to hear your court case, Ernie. I wonder if this same defense works for the next incident.....
Just a side note here. The last time I went out on Holloween....I went as Paul Bunyan, with a axe and rope lead....saying I had lost my big blue ox)). It seems Judge Martin has lose his understanding of the American idea of Holloween.
But there is more:
a 19 YO Suadi was detained by the flight crew and passengers of a airline in the US. He had physically attacked the Stew after she had asked him to put out a electric cig. He began to shout about bin Laden and a bomb and that he hated women as the flight crew and passengers restrained him. His co-traveler said he was bi polar and had not taken his med for three weeks. So his defense is mental illness.
Surely the Flight Stew, Crew and Passenger will end up in Judge Martin court defending why they restrainted the Saudi. Clearly they were in the wrong ...according to Koran...it is perfectly normal and acceptable for a crazied pi polar men to attack women. We all know that. It is one of fine print lines of the Koran and in Madrasses repetitively memorized.))
If the passengers and flight crew do get Judge Martin, I am sure a large award will be coming to the Saudi
After a week of talks in Peking with the US....North Korea announced because of the 2 hour live firing session of the SKorean near the diputed border in the Yellow Sea.....North Korea will now engage in a "Sacred War" with the South and its imperialist ally, America.
Yep those Peking talks went well............
Did Obama send a black Panther to negotiate the Korean issues and de nucing of Nkorea, I wonder? Good Lord, we talk with them for 7 days. And they are ready for a 'sacred war' because South Korea put some holes in the water and killed some fish.
Touchy Touchy Touchy
During the talks...North Korea ask about US food aid to the impoverished country. Only 48 hours later the country is ready to begin a 'sacred war' with the United States. Talk about being bi polar! Or biting the hand that feeds you!
Well seeing that the 3am phone call did not come on this sacred war yet. My advice to the President is, take another vacation and enjoy the beach. Starving NKorea is just blowing smoke about a sacred war.
PS.....the nuclear issue was not resolved in the talks. Little head way was gained there.
I am a little confused. In the American free enterprise system, were a professional dealt directly with the client and is paid directly by the client, how a intelligence professional could let the FED government gain so much control of his retirement, medical and wealth.
That was the major reason the AMA did not like Obamacare. That Obamacare was placing the Gov't into the professional and client relationship.
Seems Rohann has been living under a self made socialist system for the last 30 years......
I am self employed buster. I work for other as well as the Government. The headaches you got, I got.
But if Obama cuts the benefits of the military and VETS, do you really think that your 'accessed professional benefits' are safe from his cuts? You are just the next bus tires tracks to him, Rohann.
If you want the info on the VFW Commanders opinion on the VET cuts, I will happily post it. He said lot more than what I what I quoted.
What about Russia and China? Both are doing big modernization programs of their military, Dude, Putin has already blown the START agreement out of the door with the 400 new Russian ICBMs he wants.
What is wrong with a military career? Are you saying that a man or woman that places a uniform on, does not earn their money? I assure you they do. The military is honorable career. You were the militaries biggest supporter when they took bin Laden down.
No, this is what I said it was. This is more 'share wealth'. Obama is cutting DoD to promote his social welfare programs. Those don't build infrascture for all Americans. They simply make food stamps and put money in the pockets of some.
Look if Obama cuts the benefits of the military and VETS....the 22m mentioned....he is will eventually cut the benefits of professionals to continue 'share the wealth'. The military earned those benefits the hard way. They have fought the countries wars. Obama is cutting their jobs and their benefits so he is not friend of the military or VET.
22m VETS is quiet a voting block in nov. He also ticked off Catholics with his forced contraception program....25m another big voting block. By the time he is finished, the 3000 OWS in Washington DC will be about all that vote for him. The other 120m voters will going to the REP canidate.))
You make good point. So Islam should get a get off free because the west committed atrocities in the past? Plus remember Islam has only been doing this apostasy killing and honor killings and adultry stonings for 1100 years. So you would think that they would get tired......
As a American, I have not murdered a Indian during my lifetime. Thought I did have a grandfather that hunted Paco Villa down in Mexico with the USARMY. So maybe I can be sued by Villa's family for Paco's death.
Antjo, Muslim have been doing aposatsy murders like this for 1100 years under Sharia Law. I am not killing Muslims. But Muslims are doing a good job of killing each other and any that befall Shara Law Justice.
Do I trust Muslims and Islam? I have had Muslim friends in the past. Trained Muslim athletes in sports. And have attended Mosque open houses. Do I trust Islam and Sharia Law. Not on your life. Get the difference?
A man or woman can risk his life for the country and the Obama administeation and have thier cut their pay, benefits and their career opportuntities!
The Military gave the Obama it only major victory in the past 3 years of his mis-administration with the bin Laden raid. What is the administration's thanks?
Cutting 100,000 from the defense force of the country, while the middle east roils in revolutions, new terrorist threats, Iranian war.
But also for the the countries 22 million veterans that Administration new VA and Obama care program will force them to pay for their medical benefits.
I quote from the President of VFW recent newsletter of the changes.
"The DoD budget unveiled on Feb.13 recomend a pay raise of 1.7 percent for 2013 and 2014. For 2015 it is a scant .5 percent pay raise and a 1 percent pay raise for 2016. Also were plans to QUADRUPLE Tricare enrollment plans for some working age military retirees and impose Tricare for life enrollment fees on veteran older than 65, and introduce enrollment fees and increase deductibles on Tricare Standard and Basic. Included in DoD's healthcare plans are a increase in the pharmuetical copays on retirees and dependants."
The VFW commander has said 'that 10 years of war have produced a battle-hardened combat force that extremely proud of what they have accomplished but 100 percent aware of the general public lack of involvement.'
"They and their families worry about getting paid on time." He said. "They worry about what will happen if the car breaks down or a if a loved should get injured on a deployment or training exercise. Most of all, with the submission of this budget, they worry about the folks (Obama, Penetta) that give the orders, if they really CARE about them."
Capitals and ( ) are mine.
So CiC Obama is forcing well trained military professionals from the military service....while he still has a Iran that is going Nuclear. And has a middle east that is roiled in civil war, insurrection, and hate to the US. All the time, he increase the government benefit programs and take the retirement and medical benefits of veterans for his share the wealth programs.
After his trip to Miami, President Obama stopped off in Orlando for a fund raiser.
His poor supporters.....most all multi millionaire NBA basketball players in town for a NBA event at the convention center....paid $30,000 per plate to attend. The event was hosted by a local NBA player. Many just sent checks if they could not attend.
I guess this is to combat the REP PACs and the big money of REP backers. But funny....suddenly President Obama has changed his tune on PACs. That were bad bad bad only a few weeks ago. Now he has PAC funding as well. I know he was just "forced" to do it the mad spending REP that keep monies from the middle class.
Shucks I did not get a invite to the Obama fund raiser.....but was forced to eat last night at my local Chinese Buffet at total bill costing.....$10usd per plate. Oh well the diner company was better than at Obama's fund raiser........I dined alone.
So what is the problem? The Saudi government and other Persian Gulf countries approved of the US and European countries being in the middle east. They excerized their right of sovernieigty, to bring those countreis militareis to face off with Sadam and Iraq.
They could have brought the Russians, or Chinese, or other countries of the world to be there. We both know why that did not happen.
Max consider this for a moment. Remember the Highway of Death leaving Kuwait City? After that happened to Iraqi army, it was President Bush Senior that called for the cease fire. Not any of the governments or militaries of the region. Meaning?
Meaning they had likely given Bush Senior as over all commander of the operation the ability to go Baghdad then in first Gulf War. My thinking has been it was a mistake not to do so then. Had Sadam been removed 10 years prior to 911, none of the Iraq issues and events woudld have happened.
These are my final comments here. But Middle eastern countries invited the west to fight in these Persian Gulf wars and these Islamic wars. When we get to your countries to help in them. You treat us like hired foreign mercenaries by forcing us to stay on military bases, to obey your Islamic laws, to force American female soldiers to wear Burkas.
Max, the next time you all have a war in the middle east. America will not come, unless we can be Americans as we fight it. We are going to just let you all fight it out.......just like Syria is today.
So now the Islamic Mullahs that have been preaching death to America and Israel are part of the grand US/Israel conspiracy, Max? We both know that is utter nonsense.
The first time a radical Mullah got a check with USA or Israel on it....or got a money payment for service rendered.....he would be posting it online or making statement to elJazzeria about it.
Fine you earned everything and now via Obama it is yours. And if the debt bubble that he has made with the 5 Trillion dollars in debt that he has rung up in the last 3 year, burst. Do you think that your medical and retirement will still be there?
Just seems to me....that if Islam shared the same God as Judaism and Christianity.....why condemn a man to death for apostasy?
This is not the first time, that a Sharia Law court has done so. So even the Islamic legal systems and its death penalty rulings on apostasy says that it is a different God that Muslim worship than Christians or Judaism worship.
Looks like the US might be willing to give weapons to the freedom fighters in Syria. But then if the Freedom fighters win.....ultimately the US will be blamed for taking down Assad and giving weapons to alQeada.
Which reminds me much of Stinger missiles to Mushadeen in Afghanistan to oust the Russians.
It is the religion of today's Iran. What do you think GWB and many other others have been saying....when they said....."some in Islam have stolen the faith and twisted it"? Even Benzair Bhutto before here death in her biography that was published after her first assignation attempt. Talked about it.
Islam does advocate a monolithic god. "A one God". Christianity advocates the Trilogy...The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Judaism advocates Jehova. Islam advocates Alla.
Again sorry to be blunt. But Alla is not Jehova or God the Father.
It is one of the biggest fabrications to come from Islam is that they worship the same God of Christianity and Judaism. In Islam, you don't have spiritual God. But a God, that inhabits the religious centers and Mosques of Islam; Mecca, Media, Jerasulem. That is why when in prayer, they knell and face Mecca, yes? That is why a Muslim pilgrims to Mecca, yes?
Just because in history of the world, one of Abram's sons gave a lineage to Islam does not mean today. Islam worships the same God of Abram. Or the Heavenly Father of Christ.
