STRUGGLE vs. WAR: Secrets Between the Lines

No one without clearance for Bush's Daily Intelligence Briefing seems to understand to a credible degree a sudden shift from WAR on global terrorism to the trial balloon STRUGGLE Against Violent Extremism. Whatever is driving the change is elemental and deadly serious. The president's detractors know he is much too savvy to blunder without purpose, but for consistency’s sake say it is a sign of his stupidity, anyway. Bush's supporters, who know how deliberate and calculating his strokes have been, seem universally puzzled and fear the president has succumbed to politically motivated back stepping. Neither explanation is at all logical.

Hint#1- The problem with the term GWOT is that it automatically invokes the Bush doctrine of unilateral preemptive strike. Nice if you have to use it, but bad when it looks like you should and you really should not.

Hint#2- According to Michael Ledeen in yesterday's Coalition of Evil "The centrality of Iran in the terror network is the dirty secret that most everyone knows, but will not pronounce."Our military people in both Iraq and Afghanistan have copious evidence of the Iranian role in the terror war against us and our allies. Every now and then Rumsfeld makes a passing reference to it. But we have known about Iranian assassination teams in Afghanistan ever since the fall of the Taliban, and we know that Iranians continue to fund, arm, and guide the forces of such terrorists as Gulbadin Hekmatyar. We know that Zarqawi operated out of Tehran for several years..

Hint #3- (quoting Ledeen, again): we are fighting a sucker’s war in Iraq, because the terrorists get a great deal of their support from the Syrians, Saudis, and Iranians...

Molten Eagle's Synthesis: Among the Syrians, Saudis, and Iranians there is probably none less culpable of supporting Islamo terrorists than the others. Unless WMDs are unleashed against a coalition country or its forces, another preemptive strike to overturn a regime (rather than take out some resources) is not in the cards. The public GWOT strategy had to be publicly changed. The non-public GSAVE Struggle strategy has not changed at all, except that by now much damning data against the Axis of Syraudiiran has been collated. In each of those countries, people with clean hands will manage to purge those with soiled hands of their own volition. How is this possible? Using one of the oldest techniques devised by civilized man -diplomacy. How will you know when this has started? Look more closely, it already has.

Ice Age Planning (Humor)

Ice Age Planning Step #1
Surround yourself with PETA members now; they are kind to animals, preferring to consume grains and veggies. When the sudden food shortage arises, PETA members not only taste the best, they obviously make the healthiest choice. They do not harbor growth hormones and drugs found in regular, beef-fed humans and are most certainly free of Mad Cow disease. Cardiologists also claim grain-fed PETA activists have healthier nutritional profiles, including heart-healthful Omega 3 fatty acids. Fortunately, PETA members are organized and very easy to find just about everywhere. You have just solved your hunting and gathering problem!

Ice Age Planning Step #2
Identify any ACLU lawyers in your nearest city now. They are great proponents of public service and well-versed in nuanced distinctions. These "specialists" will be indispensable in one of two ways. Fungi (mushrooms) will become a vital part of your ice-age nutrition pyramid when crop shortages develop. Identification of edible versus toxic look-a-likes should be left to the expertise of ACLU lawyers practiced as they are in nuanced distinctions. Of course, they will need to improve upon these skills by personally sampling fungi before others consume it. Those who possess inadequate nuance skills can be expected to "drop out" of your foraging parties. Those who claim they are not so interested in public service, afterall, or who claim mushroom allergies may be traded to distant tribes for more useful furs or pelts. CAUTION: Never attempt acculturation of ACLU types unwilling to eat mushrooms; their litigious attitude will generate unnecessary strife, divisions and chaos into your caravan for many generations. ACLU lawyers are generally urban dwellers who seek anonymity. Identify them with the help of your state's bar association or prison population. You have just solved your foraging problem!

Rx for Viral Terror Attack: Lawyers or Antibodies (Military)?

Some LAWYER-Senators want Islamist terrorists treated as criminals (creating more jobs for lawyers). Muslims shed greater light on reality. Here are 3 pithy comments by muslims. LAWYER-Senators, please take note! (Emphasis added):

1- Claimed collateral damage is not always so: "Once the Americans bombed a bus crossing to Syria. We made a big fuss and said it was full of merchants," Abu Ibrahim said. "But actually, they were fighters." source: see # (7)

2- Pacific Rim Bureau (CNSNews.com) - The Pentagon has approved the release of a group of Uighur Muslims who are among the terror suspects detained at Guantanamo Bay, but the U.S. is trying to find a third country willing to take them, because of fears they will face persecution or death if they return to China.

3- The Radical Islamic Threat – An American Primer (Dec. 2004) - by Haneef Al-Humacao

Current U.S. Attitude: Complacent Civilians / Vigilant Military
In August 2004, neither the threat of radical Muslim terrorists nor a tenet of the entire Muslim faith requiring violence is acknowledged by politically correct U.S. citizenry or mainstream clergy. A prominent political party characterizes the Islamic jihadist threat as an overblown quest for power by isolated thugs from Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan. Muslim clerics do not condemn the thugs, however.

The risk of instant harm at the hands terrorists pales in comparison to highway mortality. This analogy is very wrongheaded, however. Terrorist violence is more of a plague –it can potentially wipe out society. Although plague contagion appears to lie dormant, vectors suddenly spread it to many victims. Likewise, Al Qaeda terror cells colonize and patiently plot, aided by sympathetic hosts.

Global Reach: Cells, Recruiting and Financial Support
According to Britannica Yearbook,1997, nearly one in five people claims the faith of Islam. There are 69 countries throughout the world whose Muslim populations comprise at least 10% of their total. There is at least one radical, Muslim leader in each of these countries capable of recruiting thousands of followers and diverting “charity” funds.

China’s Muslims, barely 3% of its total population, number almost 29 million, or twice the number of Southern Baptists in the U.S. The combined Muslim populations of just three small countries: Pakistan, Nigeria and Ethiopia exceeds the entire U.S. population. (CIA fact book statistics).

Less than 15% of Muslims are Arab. Most are Asian. Morrocan terrorists may have carried out Spain’s recent train bombings, but an almost “shoe bomber” was distinctly British. Al Qaeda supported cells have also been reported in the Philippines, Indonesia, France, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Belgium, Italy, South America, the Chechen Republic, New York, Detroit, Florida, and Arizona. Muslim political influence has been growing steadily in France and there is currently one U.S. congressional candidate receiving Muslim support.

Historical Precedent: The “Scourge of God”
Islamic radical terrorism is nothing new. Global sovereignty of Islam has been their stated aim. Before bin Laden was Tamourlane (Timur the Lenk, 1336-1405). Calling himself “the Scourge of God,” Tamourlane unleashed his militant bands to vanquish Afghanistan, exterminate 80,000 souls in Delhi, and behead thousands of Christians who were in his way.

Terrorist Strategy: Incite Muslim Fervor to Violence, Exploit Our Weaknesses
Imbedded feminism, gay rights, and religious pluralism are not symbols of societal strengths to Wahhabi Muslims, but are symbols of Satanic power and infidel willingness to tolerate corruption. Only the U.S. lead coalition stands in the way of Tamourlane’s latest surrogates, who must pounce again and again to disrupt our economy. Beheading women and slaying children on U.S. soil, however, may ultimately prove less costly and more ghastly than monumental maneuvers to date. Given the chance, terrorists will gravitate to simpler tactics with greater frequency. Muslim candidates will seek political office to hasten destruction of our government and install war lords to invoke martial rule.

U.S. Counter: Deny Office, Promote Unity, Expect Clerical Condemnation
The would-be “war lord” of your region has already consorted with known criminals, lied to juries, aspired to, and more than likely been elected to political office. He/she has shown is spineless enough to convert to the Muslim faith in the two minutes required. We must shun such candidates; deny them office; promote national unity against terrorism; and expect their true leaders (i.e. Muslim clerics) to condemn acts of terror quickly, loudly and clearly.

Signed Declaration of Independence Before He Signed Allegiance to King George III

A high-profile flip-flop, reminiscent of LAWYER-Senator Kerry's admission during his presidential campaign, involved an illustrious LAWYER who was also a signer of our Declaration of Independence.

Richard Stockton (1730-1781): In 1776 Stockton was elected to the Continental Congress, where he took a very active role. Shortly after he signed the Declaration of Independence, he was taken prisoner by the British and dragged in bitterly cold weather to Perth Amboy. He was later taken to New York and put in the notorious Provost Jail, where he suffered brutal treatment.

It was at this point that he became a turncoat. He renounced the revolution and signed a different declaration, a "Declaration of Allegiance" to the King, George III, and gave "his word of honor that he would not meddle in the least of American affairs." A formal remonstrance from Congress led to his release January 3, 1777.

Upon Stockton's return to Princeton, it became known that during his imprisonment the British had persuaded him to sign the second Declaration, which required an oath of allegiance to the King -- an act Stockton revoked later that year by signing oaths of adjuration and allegiance prescribed by the New Jersey legislature. "Thus, he has the dubious honor of being the only signer of the Declaration of Independence to betray the cause." [source. Wikipedia.org]

"Well-connected local people probably don't get prosecuted as much,'' said professor John Corkery of the James Madison Law School in Chicago. Well, apparently it's more beneficial than that for LAWYERS. In 1968, the New Jersey legislature approved The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey in Southern New Jersey. Not surprising, considering how many versions of American history manage to omit Stockton's unique, little "flip-flops".

What Does Ted Kennedy Really Want and Mean?

Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA) Friday threatened to oppose Bush's choice of retiring Justice O'Connor's replacement "if the president abuses his power and nominates someone who threatens to roll back the rights and freedoms of the American people." Story by Jeff Johnson of CNSNEWS.com is here.

Let's review. Sen. Kennedy (LAWYER) LLB, University of Virgina Law School, 1959. He had been suspended from Harvard in May 1951 after he arranged for another student to take a final examination in a Spanish class in his place. Now, it is no surprise that LAWYER-SENATORS bear scrutiny. This guy's ultra-liberal record means he is the epitome of propaganda. What does he mean by "roll back the freedoms" of American people? Not what you may think. He is not afraid Civil Rights or abortion on demand will be overturned, because there is no possibility that would happen. What about gay rights? No, EEOC rights are here to stay and marriage rights never made it. So what, then, does this LAWYER really mean? He and most LAWYERS mean what they cannot admit publicly, but what we read about them doing everyday.

According to 1998 U.S. Census data, the median annual income for lawyers and judges was slightly over $100,000. In order to assure job security and high income for Defense Attorneys, Prosecuting Attorneys and Judges (compare their $50 average, hourly compensation rate to that of a citizen serving on "Jury Duty" in your state), LAWYERS want to assure that convicted criminals' rights are not rolled back. Did you notice that Defense Attorney's, Prosecutors and Judges are all LAWYERS and three of them, at a minimum, are required for every trial? Are there calls for new courthouses and judges in every county to keep up with the crime? Odd, where are the equal calls for more prison building? Hmmm.

About 68% of the time that a guilty defendant gets released, receives a plea-bargained sentence, too light a sentence because there is not enough jail space, or even parole, guess what we have? We have recidivism -more crime by a repeat offender. But when that happens guess what LAWYERS have? More trials (more business and job security).

Guess who the largest contributor to the Democrat party represents? If you guessed trial LAWYERS, you would be correct. Is this problem only with Democrat LAWYER-SENATORS?
Certainly not. Don't be fooled. Consider very long and hard the need to elect or return any LAWYER to a public office.

Remember, the talk about rolling back the rights of Americans refers to America's criminals.
