			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many times I have thought the CIA could have done a little more research on their choices of spies over the years, but this Muslim mob and how they choose their operatives really takes the cake. Put to one side the perpetrators of 9/11, and cast your mind back to the 1993 World Trade Center attack and the subsequent terrorist attempts since 9/11. Although serious by nature, they all have been almost comical in execution. This latest job was no exception. Talk about Murphy’s Law. More often than not when they are caught, they behave like canaries and spill all the beans. This guy hasn’t stopped talking since they dragged him off the Emirates plane and into clink.</p>
<p>Isn’t odd that every operative caught look the same? They could all be Muslim brothers or cousins? They are relatively young, they are all Middle Eastern looking and they all wear beards. I am sure Israel knows exactly what is going on with their enemy, because they actually identify them and keep a close watch on them. In America we are consumed by political correctness. For me it is a madness that has taken over this country. For this reason, I agree with many of the things the Tea Party stands for. Under our very eyes our country is being taken away from us. In actual fact, what we are doing is stupidly tell the world we really don’t know our enemies from our friends. We are wasting huge resources chasing moonbeams by treating a sixth generation eighty-year-old grandmother from Boise, Idaho exactly the same way as a young Pakistani “American” man who has just returned to the country from a six month holiday in Islamabad.</p>
<p>Firstly President Obama and your crew of Home Security chiefs, get a reality check into what is really going on. For starters I need to tell you all, Pakistan is your enemy, not your friend. They are as bigger promoters of international terrorism as those idiot countries, Sudan and Yemen. Every bearded young Muslim staying or living in America should be profiled and their behavior closely watched. The moment there is any suspicion, then ship ‘em back to where they originally came from. Even if they were born here, if we discover there is the evil intent in their behavior, then get rid of them. That’s what Great Britain is doing. Quite frankly I believe the followers of Al Qaeda are happier sitting starving over a camp fire in a cave in Afghanistan just like they did in the Dark Ages than existing in a country they hate and want to destroy.</p>
<p>To be truthful, I am more scared of an attack from Russia or China crippling this country than a bunch of religious moronic Muslim zealots. That is once we get them off our shores. This current secular approach to people who are nothing but dangerous nut cases has to stop. It’s absolute nonsense. Anyone choosing to come to America must do so to become American and they must accept our laws and customs, which include our language, English. I say spend money on closing our porous borders and then start cleaning up the trash inside America that holds American lives in fear. The cost would be minuscule compared to what we are now spending in Afghanistan and Iraq.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No sooner is our President back from meetings with that crooked thug in Afghanistan and Karzai has twice publicly told the world the growing corruption inside his country has been caused by the west and the United States in particular. He has told us in no uncertain terms that he has had enough of American interference. This is after we have placed 100,000 troops into the country and in the process of spending $billions building an infrastructure so Afghans can enter the 16th Century with a grand hope in a few hundred years time the country may even become civilized.</p>
<p>Afghanistan has literally been in a state of civil war since Alexander the Great invaded the country way back in 330 BC. In the nineteenth century it became a buffer state between the imperial expansionism desires of the Russian and British Empires. Granted, I am sure the poppy seeds have been the biggest source revenue for a few hundred years, but opium is not what has kept Afghanistan at perpetual war with itself. The country is tribal and primitive and has been for thousands of years. Unlike India, which under British colonial rule was able to get 600 “castes” to tolerate one another, Afghans for a couple of millenniums have been fighting amongst themselves in the mountains over nothing but a wish to be at war.</p>
<p>Russia’s, when it was the Soviet Union, last effort to expand its empire was to invade Afghanistan and within ten years the war became its Waterloo. Eleven years later in 1989 after suffering the embarrassment of retreating with its tail between its legs, the Soviet Union only took two more years to completely collapse. Many historians put it down to the toll of such a worthless war together with unpopularity back home of its decision to go into battle in the first place. If Iraq was un-winnable, then there is no hope with Afghanistan. President Karzai is just like all his predecessors; he is an Afghan war lord. He is as slippery as an eel, a born liar and Baby Doc Duvalier was a schoolboy in shorts when it comes to Karzai’s expertise in corruption.</p>
<p>So with that as a background to help you Mr President, my advice is get out of Afghanistan now. Like Iraq which is heading down the path of internal collapse and into anarchy as we pull our troops out, nothing useful will be gained “staying the course” in that hell hole of a country. Karzai has told you twice in three days, you are not his friend and that is after the welcome mat coming out just a few days earlier. He has unequivocally told you he wants America out. President Obama, he has presented you with a great opportunity here. Grab it with open arms and get our boys and girls back home on the next flight out of Kabul! I don’t know who is worse, the Taliban or tribal war lords. I don’t really care. In fact I would go so far as to say they all deserve one another. They are far happier beating the shit out of one another than becoming civilized.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President Obama, in order to show your opposition you are in agreement on some things, I believe you have chosen the wrong cause for appeasement. I believe you could rout the Republican Party by announcing holus bolus America is getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan within eighteen months. Too many lives and too much cost have been expended on two countries that are nothing but excrement holes of the first order. Sometimes in a sense, even the so-called innocent deserve the fate that comes their way. They have allowed themselves to be pawns. Afghanistan has been a mess for centuries with its peoples continually at war with one another and anyone else who comes in contact with them. I can’t think of a better a place for bin Laden and his mob to operate from. Why don’t the Muslims zealots make the mountains surrounding Kabul the new “Mecca” and for all those who would make the annual pilgrimage, offer them an incentive to stay on there! President Kazai’s family or War Lords (brothers and cousins) control the opium/heroin business which has boomed since American soldiers have been patrolling the country. Turn the Taliban and Al Qaeda into addicts and the prime users of the stuff; then our terrorism fears would come to an abrupt end!</p>
<p>As a Monday morning quarterback, the decision to invade Iraq was about as stupid as the three Afghan wars the British entered into during nineteenth and early 20th centuries. As Rudyard Kipling was quoted, “Every stone in the Khyber has been soaked in blood”, the very same can be said of Iraq. Our warmonger generals and our ex-President have a lot to answer for when you think of every American soldier who has been maimed or worse still, lost in the taking over and holding of Iraq. It is America’s Khyber Pass</p>
<p>We no longer enjoy the wealth to fight stupid wars. If we need to keep a check on Muslim zealots and trouble makers in both countries, maintain a force of a hundred drones piloted by remote control on American soil, to occasionally ambush them and let them know who is boss. This weapon is definitely our greatest and most deadly invention yet. We no longer need a dozen or so aircraft carriers, 500 warships/submarines and thousands of warplanes. The drone can do a most effective job for us in lieu of. A smaller defense force can be redeployed for humanitarian needs, like the disaster in Haiti. Usually poor countries that become victims to natural disasters face huge problems maintaining order. Who better to act as the movers and shakers to get things done, repair the country and place it on track to becoming a civilized nation than our military?</p>
<p>A change in our military thinking could cut hundreds of $billions off our defense bill and in no time a huge hole would be made in our $trillions of debt. Now is the time to change the direction of the Pentagon and reduce its overhead. President Obama, this will catapult your support to new heights.</p>
