Understanding the Consequence

A few people are looking ahead to what would happen if Hussein Obama or sHillary Clinton get into the Oval Office, and John Bolton spells out what would happen to our foreign policy.

Washington (CNSNews.com) - John Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, told Cybercast News Service at last week's Conservative Political Action Conference that the shift in U.S. foreign policy under a Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama administration would not be a positive change.

"I think it would change in a very negative direction and very dramatically," Bolton said. "That's one reason I think this election is so consequential from a national security point of view."

...

"I think a withdrawal would have a catastrophic effect, not only in Iraq, but in the Persian Gulf as a whole," Bolton told Cybercast News Service. "I think it would increase Iran's influence, much to our detriment, and would send a terrible signal elsewhere in the Islamic world.

"It reflects (Clinton's and Obama's) failure to grasp that we are in a war with the terrorists," said Bolton. "This is not a law enforcement matter. It's a fundamentally different paradigm, which they don't grasp, which puts them unfortunately in a pre-9-11 mode."

With a SurrenderCrat in the White House, America will be put into a position to which we will encourage terrorists to attack us and other western countries, not prevent them.

Other than taxes and liberal judges, foreign policy is one of the biggest reasons to keep the Donks out of the White House.

Profiling or Caution?

This story is an interesting case: Six Middle Eastern males, that were flying home from San Diego to Chicago, were detained and question because they were heard speaking Arabic before getting on the plane.

Six men of Iraqi descent who were heading home from doing training for the U.S. military have sued American Airlines, saying employees detained and publicly humiliated them after another passenger voiced suspicions.

The men, who sued in U.S. District Court in Detroit alleging racial discrimination, say airline employees grounded their Aug. 28 flight from San Diego to Chicago and detained them, believing they were security risks.

The men, some of whom are U.S. citizens, were returning to the Detroit area after training Marines at California's Camp Pendleton on Iraqi culture when another passenger expressed concerns to guards partly because she heard the men speaking Arabic.

After taxiing from the gate, pilots returned the plane to the terminal. The six men were segregated and detained while the airline helped more than 100 passengers find hotel rooms, according to a prepared statement from the men.

...

"They treated me like a terrorist," Al-Watan, 30, said in the statement. "We didn't do anything wrong, but they made everybody scared of us."

Flight 590's crew returned the plane to the gate to resolve potential security problems, airline spokesman Tim Wagner said in a statement.

This case highlights the sticky issue of what is racial profiling and what is the acknowledgment of security concerns.

Let's look at both sides. first the six Iraqis side:
- They work for a company that helps train the US military. And just finished training Marines.
- They are Pro-American
- They are on their way home and were chatting among themselves in their native language, Arabic
- Their plane was returned to the terminal and they were taken aside and questioned
- They feel as if they were specially detained and questioned because they are Middle Eastern males.
Are they right to sue? Were they actually discriminated against?

Now the airline and passenger's side:
- 6 Middle Eastern males are speaking Arabic before getting on the plane
- No one can understand what they are saying
- All past uses of airplanes as terrorist weapons have been by Middle Eastern males
- The airlines has the responsibility to protect their airplane and passengers
- They were not arrested, just taken aside and questioned
Did the airline and airplane crew discriminated against these men? Or did they act out of valid security concerns?

It is a combination of both, but in the end the airlines took the correct actions.
These men were profiled and they were singled out because of their nationality and the language they used. They were detained and questioned, which is not wrong, their rights were not violated. They are suing because they were humiliated, and profiled.

But on the other side, the airlines held up it's responsibility to protect the plane and passengers, because the historical facts show that Middle Eastern men have used planes as terrorist weapons and have killed 3000 people with them. We also have the facts that Islamofascists are still trying to harm innocent Americans anyway they can. Whether it be a car bomb, gun or plane, they are out there trying.

This situation could have been adverted if a little thought by both sides had been used. The Iraqi men should have known that they would cause an uneasiness of the other passengers because they were speaking Arabic. If they had spoken English, other people would know that their conversation was innocent and not to be concerned. If the airlines had questioned them before they boarded the plane, no one would have missed the flight. And if the TSA had Arabic speakers that could listen to the conversation and interpret what was being said, then the issue would have settled beforehand.

Do I believe in profiling - Yes, it can save lives, but in actuality is not being done early enough to prevent the real Islamic Terrorists from acting. I also believe that the TSA and airlines should train their personnel in Muslim culture and languages so they can spot the innocent Middle Eastern male having an innocent conversation in Arabic from the one that is tense and acting as a terrorist would.

But when in doubt, err on the side of caution.

6 Years Ago Today, I Remember as If It Were Yesterday

It happened 6 years ago today, and we should remember it as a day that America was changed. I posted 3 years about what I was doing on 9/11/01, and it still has meaning.

That day 9/11/2001, I had stayed home to do some design work, because where I worked didn't have a 3D Mechanical Design program, and I did. About 9:00 that morning, my wife called and said that she just heard on the radio, that a plane had crashed into one of the World Trade Center Towers. So I flipped the TV on (I think Fox News) and saw the burning and wreckage. After a few minutes of astonishment, I asked myself, how this could happen? Why wasn't it diverted away from the city? And as I was watching, I saw a spot in the background get larger and larger, and realized it was another plane and it was going to crash into the other tower. I watched in horror as it did. Then I saw the resultant crash into the Pentagon and saw the aftermath of the crash of Flight 93 in the Pennsylvania countryside. After the second crash into the World Trade Centers, I came to the realization that these were no accidents, that there were madmen purposely doing this. They were purposely crashing planes into American Buildings, the Pentagon and were trying to kill as many Americans as they could. And I was PISSED!!

And last year I was part of the We Will Never Forget project in which I honored one of those that died that day.

Today we remember the 2996 lives that were lost on 09/11/2001. We remember the innocent victims, like John, that were aboard those airplanes used to harm America. We remember the innocent victims in Towers and the Pentagon and we remember the heroic Firefighters and Policemen that died trying to save lives.

Today we remember the innocent, but we also should not forget those that perpetrated this tragedy. Because when we forget them, as many have, we are opening ourselves to another attack. We must be diligent to never let it happen again.

Five years later, America still stands. Because America is not it's vast and different lands, America is not skyscrapers and schools, America is it's people like John Wenckus, and America is it's ideals, like freedom and liberty. We Are America! And we remember John Wenckus.

And what I said 3 years ago still holds true today:

Today we remember those innocent lives that died at the hands of subhuman madmen, but we need not let their deaths be in vain. We the people of all nations need to root out this evil anywhere it may be, and burn it! Burn it out everywhere and everyone of these fanatical nutcases, lest they spawn Evil again. No Appeasing, No Negotiating, Just STENGTH, POWER and UNENDING RESOLVE! So history does not have to repeat itself, and we don't have to mourn another tragedy by insane religious fanatical Terrorists.

But there are those that have forgotten, those that believe that Bin Ladin's Terrorists are freedom fighters, those that believe that it won't happen again, and they are wrong, deluded or just plain haters of all that is good and just.

The Pacifists, Leftists and Liberals of this world will never understand this, because they live in their own Socialistic Dreamland with no thought to reality. They think if they kiss up to these cowards, they will be left in peace. This will not happen. They think if we are a little more compassionate, they will leave us alone. This will not do it. And they think if we are a little more sensitive to their needs, we can all get along. That won't work either. The Terrorists of this world are inflamed with hate, jealousy, and barbaric religious fervor, and making nice with them will not stop them from killing innocent people. I hope the Pacifists, Leftists and Liberals of this world one day wake up to what is happening around them, and realize that they are wrong, before these Cowardly Subhuman Terrorist kill their families too.

These terrorists didn't attack America because we were oppressing them, they didn't attach us because we were warring with them or economically suppressing them, they attached us because we are the beacon of freedom, and they hate us for ideological reasons. We have religious freedom, economic freedom, freedom of speech, these are the reasons they hate us, because these freedoms oppose and expose their oppressive radical religious ideology.

History tend to be repeated by those that forget it's lessons, and this one lesson America had never forget, despite what the Bleed-Hearts and Liberals want, we better remember those innocents that lost their lives to the cowardly terror of 19 barbarians, because if we forget or lose our resolve to fight this war, it will happen again.

God Bless America!!!

And In There Lies the Crux of the Problem

Rudy Giuliani made a profound statement about the Donks and their views on Terrorism.

Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani took Democratic White House hopefuls to task Monday for being soft on terrorists and hard on capitalism.

...

"At no time during their debates have they used the words 'Islamic terrorists,'” Giuliani said of the Democratic contenders.

The Donks don't see the problem, thus it isn't a problem to them. They think the world is all peachy keen, and that the Terrorist attacks that the world has been experiencing, are just a few bad apples with a grudge. They won't say "Islamic Terrorists" because they don't believe that these bad apples are using Islam as a justification to kill the innocent, so why say it when you don't believe it?

If you don't acknowledge the root cause of the problem or that there is a problem at all, you will never be able to solve the problem.

And it is that kind of thinking that we get more Americans killed.

Diplomacy won't work, because these Islamic Terrorists see that as a sign of weakness, and they don't respect weakness, they respect strength only. It also won't work because how can you reason with a person that has a skewed logic to justify their actions? When their view of the Koran says they call kill innocent women and children and still go to heaven, to kill the infidel without feeling guilt, and that they supposed to conquer the world, how can you try to get that person to see reason? The Donks think they can, which is a good way to get more people killed.

What I find ironic is that if a Donk with a "bumper sticker" mentality on the War on Terrorism gets elected to the White House, the Terrorists will attack the areas that are hard core Blue, thus the Donks are going to get the people that voted for them killed.

Bill Clinton gave us the 9/11 attacks because he was weak, will his wife cause us more attacks in the future?

Bloomberg Says "Nothing to See Here, Move Along"

NYC had a terrorist plot to blow up JFK airport and parts of the city foiled, and what does NYC's Mayor Bloomberg say?

"Get a life"

(CBS) NEW YORK While questions continue to arise about the alleged plot to blow up a fuel pipeline beneath JFK Airport and surrounding neighborhoods, some are questioning why New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg hasn't had a louder voice since the plot was foiled on Saturday.

On Monday, Bloomberg finally weighed in, but his response was not what some would have expected.

"There are lots of threats to you in the world. There's the threat of a heart attack for genetic reasons. You can't sit there and worry about everything. Get a life," he said.

That "What, me worry?" attitude pretty much sums up Bloomberg's advice to New Yorkers on the terror plot. As far as he was concerned, the professionals were on it, so New Yorkers shouldn't let it tax their brains.

"You have a much greater danger of being hit by lightning than being struck by a terrorist," he added.

It is one thing to tell people to move forward with their lives after the news of this terrorist threat, but it is totally demeaning to his constituents to downplay the threat and tell people to "Get a life".

And as far as "You have a much greater danger of being hit by lightning than being struck by a terrorist" I wonder how many of the 3000 people that died on 9/11 in his city had ever been struck by lightening? According to Bloomberg Funky Statistics, every one of them probably were struck at least 2 or 3 times prior to being killed by raving radical Islamic Terrorists.

Our nation is being targeted by Islamic Terrorists, and for Bloomberg to poo-pah this threat to his city is nothing less that stupid and denial. That's it! Bloomberg is a Denier! A Terrorist Denier that is! I can't believe he has an (R) next to his name, he acts more like a Donk than a Republican.

Bound and Determined to LOSE

Ya gotta to hand it to the Donks, they are doing everything in their power to lose the War in Iraq, undermine our troops over there and give the Terrorists what they want. They are so determined to lose that they passed another war funding bill that they knew Bush would veto.

(CNSNews.com) - President Bush says he'll veto another Iraq war funding bill passed by the House on Thursday because it would keep money flowing to U.S. troops only until July.

"This idea of funding our troops every two months is not adequate," Bush said on Thursday. The president already has vetoed one war funding bill because it set a deadline to begin pulling U.S. troops out of Iraq.

Two Republicans (Reps. Wayne Gilchrest of Maryland and Walter Jones of N.C.) voted with 219 Democrats to pass the partial-war-funding bill. The final tally was 221-205. Ten Democrats voted against the bill.

America wants to win, we want a stable Iraq in that region of the world and we want to kill as many terrorists as possible. But the Donks are trying their hardest to derail these goals, they want to lose, they don't care about the troops and all they really care about is power for themselves and to look good for their Leftard base.

Yep, the Donks are bound and determined to lose the war in Iraq and get more Americans killed here in the US, all for the sake of kissing ass to the Leftarded Wackos.

Terrorists? What Terrorists? Oh, You Mean Those Terrorists!

The Donks, anti-American anti-War Leftards, the Truthers and all their kindred ilk all deny that we are in a cultural war against Islamic jihadis. But let them deny this reality.

MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. - Six men from the former Yugoslavia were arrested on charges they plotted to attack the Fort Dix Army base and "kill as many soldiers as possible," federal authorities said Tuesday.

The suspects were described as "Islamic radicals," said U.S. Attorney's Office spokesman Greg Reinert.

"They were planning an attack on Fort Dix in which they would kill as many soldiers as possible," Drewniak said.

A law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity because documents in the case remain sealed, said the attack was stopped in the planning stages.

Authorities believe the men trained in the Poconos for the attack and also conducted surveillance at other area military institutions, including Fort Monmouth, the official said. The official said that the men had lived in the United States for some time.

There are millions of radical Muslims that what like nothing better than to kill Americans, and destroy our country, but the hide-their-heads-in-the-sand dhimmis deny this fact, or say it is our fault for this hatred and we deserve it. And then they continue on trying to do everything they can to hamper us in our pursuit of these cowardly killers, despite the evidence.

I still haven't decided who is worse for America, the Terrorists or those who enable them?

A Friend Tells You What You Need to Hear, Not What You Want to Hear

And that friend is Australia's PM John Howard who is saying that America is weakening in the War on Terrorism.

The US Congress' vote to push for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq was wrong and will bring comfort to Al-Qaeda insurgents, Australian Prime Minister John Howard said Friday.

"I think it is wrong, and I don't think it is doing anything other than giving great comfort and encouragement to Al-Qaeda and the insurgency in Iraq," Howard said.

"They are looking at all this, they read newspapers, they see it on television and they say, 'The American domestic resolve is weakening, therefore we should maintain our resolve.'

Howard has it right, the Donks, with their Surrender policy, is enabling our enemies to fight harder because they think we are going to pull out.

Thank You Mr. Howard, the truth from a friend was needed to be heard.

The Donks are Trying to Censor Our Military's Speech!

Since 9/11 we have been fighting a Global War on Terrorism. In Afghanistan, Iraq, the Philippines and other countries being swarmed by the Islamofascists. It truly has been a Global War against Terrorists, but to the Cut'n'Run, Terrorist's Best Friend Donks they don't like the phrase and are trying to ban it's use by the military.(h/t Drudge)

The House Armed Services Committee is banishing the global war on terror from the 2008 defense budget.

This is not because the war has been won, lost or even called off, but because the committee’s Democratic leadership doesn’t like the phrase.

A memo for the committee staff, circulated March 27, says the 2008 bill and its accompanying explanatory report that will set defense policy should be specific about military operations and “avoid using colloquialisms.”

The “global war on terror,” a phrase first used by President Bush shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the U.S., should not be used, according to the memo.

Whether is from hatred of President Bush or Political Correctness, the forcing of a ban on a phrase that aptly describes the war we are fighting globally, is censorship of Free Speech. Why do they think they can get away with this? Why are they considering it in the first place? Are the Donks really deluded enough to think that if we Cut'n'Run from Iraq that all terrorism will stop? Do they not truly realize that we are in global cultural war against radical Islam and there is not any negotiating with them?

The Donks are trying their very best to destroy America, whether it is from within or allowing those from without to destroy us, they are doing their damnest to do it.

How Easily We Forget

65 years ago today we were attacked by a nation bent on imposing it's will on others and co-ruling the world. Today we remember those that died in the attack, and the sacrifices others made to avenge their lose, and to protect our nation from those that would destroy it.

But if you look at America today, you would never know that it had happened, you can see that a large majority of the people have forgotten history and the lessons that it teaches us.

FDR gave a speech that day, the Day of Infamy, and a part of that speech is relevant today as it was then:

"Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger."

We are in grave danger again, but other don't or won't recognize that we are. And I am sad to say that another portion of FDR's speech is no longer relevant:

"No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.

...

With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounded determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God."

The will of the American people back then was strong enough to fight and win over the Imperialistic and Fascist nations that were bent on ruling the world. But sadly not so now, even though were again confronted by a group of people bent on dominating the world and imposing their religious will upon us, the American people have lost their will to fight, or to even recognize that we are in a war.

The attacks of 9/11 had brought the American people together again, but that strength of will was easily dissipated by the dishonest MSM in conjunction with the anti-American Left.

Our nation is doomed to dhimmihood or destruction unless we regain that same resolve that was displayed in WWII by the American people, they didn't Cut'n'Run, they took it to the enemy, and unfortunately, I can't say the same thing about America today.

Will it take another attack on America to regain the will to preserve our nation? I pray it doesn't, because the next one may cause a lot more harm that the 9/11 attacks, and our nation may not recover because of the dhimmis that exist in America today.
