Obama' decision to require that CIA interrogators abide by the Army Field Manuel, as well as Obama's move to suspend trials of terrorists by military commission, and Obama's decision to close so-called CIA black sites and the U.S. detention facility in Guantanamo Bay.

When Iran gets the Nuke.. the entire World will be in trouble!

As you say, they are 'nut jobs' (my words, but on a lot of peoples minds), and they believe in those virgins when they blow themselves up as martyrs, so, what better than a nuke device, as you say, floated into some harbor and detonated...

I can see why these people are nut cases...They have a hard life... Living in fear all thier lives, and the desert is a tough place to grow up in and survive, so its the survival of the fittest I assume...

Clans have fought for thousands of years, against each other and will continue to fight still for as many generations as they have people to throw against each other. They know no other life, and are just now getting exposed to Western Civilization and all it has to offer, but, we can not break the cycle of violence and thier religious views of wahabbism.

Islam has been preverted into what is needed for them to survive thier hostile enviroment, and if it means strapping a bomb onto your back to defeat the enemy so that your tribe may live, then they rewrite thier 'bible' so that they can get you into a frenzy and make you 'want' to toss your life away so that you are thinking your going to the glory of god, or doing his work...A turley sad ending to a bunch of misguided men and women. Any religion where you have to blow up people in order to gain Heaven, well, there is something truley wrong with that in a normal Society...but, who says that they are normal now? They have been twisted and perverted for thosands of years into what thier religion tells them now, and its only going to get worse.

All we can do, is prepare for the worse, becaus our Government is letting us fall into thier traps, and we may not survive this Presidents folly and idealism.

May the LORD Bless each of you.

I wish you well...

Jesse

During the taking of the American Hostages in Iran some years back at our Embassy, President Carter wanted to be "Peaceful" and "Hoped" the new powers that be, wanted to be nice to America... It wasn't until President Reagan was elected a year later and said before being sworn in... "If those Barbarians think they are going to get a better deal from me, they think wrong" (or pretty much to that effect). They were released when he was being sworn in, they simply didn't want to find out if he was bluffing.

During the same time as the American Embassy was being taken, the students ran to the Russian embassy and started to climb the walls there. The Russians flat out told Iatola Khomeini's handlers that if they didn't stop the take over, their city was going to be a smoking hole in the ground... The Revolutionary Guard showed up and chased the students away with guns.

These people we deal with have no respect for anyone that shows a "Peaceful" demeanor, they consider that a weakness, and so far, that is what Obama is showing to them. But having said that, it appears he did authorize the use of force against the Pirates that took the American Captain hostage and they just freed him by killing the Pirates a few hours ago... Well done!

Now our "War on Terror" is being dismantled, one stick at a time, either by good intentions that are not paying attention to history, or intentionally to attract another attack.

We are offering an olive branch to people that believe destroying us is part of their religious obligations and are not going to "Surrender" to us or anyone else. But by pretending that they are beaten and downtrodden we are putting ourselves in a position of having the "Trojan Horse" brought to us on a platter as if it was peace itself and that we appear to welcome it.

I believe that the next 9/11 will make this last one look like a "popcorn fart" to put it as basic as I can... and will cost the lives of hundreds of thousands at best and millions at the worst.

There is no difference between someone who straps on a small bomb and walks into a restaurant to kill themselves and dozens of people, to someone who floats a nuke into San Francisco or New York Harbor and sets it off with them pushing the button... They are just as dead and fully believe in their warped mind that they are on the way to a bunch of virgins.

History has a neat way of repeating itself over and over again, and nobody seems to remember yesterday, much less eight years ago.

What are your thoughts on it..

I think as "push-polls" go, I'd give this one a "D" (high marks). Other than that, when history repeats itself, it probably does do it "over and over".
