War
Beware of those who
corrupt war reports for political gain. Their deception encourages enemies of
freedom, resulting in increased death. Their
treason can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
“Determined to keep Americans drowning in
debt, Obama proposes to accelerate federal spending $3.8 trillion in 2013 to
$5.8 trillion in 2022, a whopping increase of 53 percent. By spending more than
$45 trillion in the next 10 years … It has become obvious that America faces
increasing nuclear threats from hostile regimes like Iran and North Korea …
This week, Iranian President Ahmadinejad plans a
major announcement for Iran’s advancement in its atomic program, a move to show
how increased U.N. sanctions have failed to halt Iran’s technical progress …
Our first line of defense against short and intermediate-range airborne attacks
is the Standard Missile 3 (SM-3), which can intercept enemy missiles while in
flight. Their proven track record is why they are also essential to the NATO
effort in Europe to defend against missiles from hostile nations. Yet, despite
the SM-3’s impressive performance history and expanding capabilities that will
ultimately protect our homeland from a long-range missile attack, President Obama has all but turned his back on the missile. In his
newly released budget, the President cuts funding for the newest evolution of
SM-3 (known as IB), which will result in 52 percent fewer missiles while
commanders in theater have consistently complained about shortages.” (2/16/2012)
“‘Americans and Israelis believe -- we know
deep in our bones -- that if the Islamic Republic of Iran acquired a nuclear
weapons capability, it will be an existential threat to Israel, to America, and
to world civilization itself ... A threat to Israel is a threat to America ...
Stopping Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons capability must be a top priority
of the United States of America. Any president, Republican or Democrat, who
allows such a thing to occur on his watch would be acting in a way that is
profoundly against the national security interests of the United States and the
security interests of our friends in Israel’ … The greatest mistake --
ultimately a suicidal one -- that good non-Jews make is to dismiss Jew-hatred
(known by the euphemism of ‘anti-Semitism’) as the Jews' problem. Had the
Western world not dismissed Adolf Hitler and Nazism as primarily a Jewish
problem, 50 million non-Jews would not have been killed between 1939 and 1945.
Jew-haters, like the above mentioned Islamist successors to the Nazis, hate all
that is and all who are decent and good. We turn our attention from Iran's
nuclear ambitions at our great peril. Chris Christie knows this. Ron Paul does
not.” (2/15/2012)
“Everyone wants to stop Iran from getting a
nuclear weapon, but not everyone is willing to do what it takes to bring that
about … In 1936, everyone wanted to stop the German army coming into the
de-militarized Rhineland, but no one was willing to use force to prevent it.
Hitler sensed this weak resolve in the Americans and the British … Hitler could
smell fear … Now, consider this: Iran has been at war with the U.S. for more
than thirty years … The Iranians are also at war with Israel. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has publicly
said he can foresee a world without the U.S. and Israel. He says Israel should
be ‘wiped off the map,’ that the Jewish state is but a ‘two-bomb country.’ What
kind of bombs would those be? U.S. policy makers are desperate, it seems, to
dissuade Israel from striking Iran … As worrisome as an Israeli strike on
Iran’s nuclear facilities might be, Iran with a nuclear weapon is infinitely
more dangerous. British diplomacy in the interwar years between 1919 and 1939
was marked by high intelligence, a desire for fair play, and a fundamental
decency. All of those qualities were abused and betrayed by a single-minded
evil man, Adolf Hitler. Israel reminds us that when a nation’s very survival is
on the line, that nation will do whatever it must do to meet its sworn enemy …
Today, surrounded by mortal enemies, with their backs to the wall, Israelis are
told to take more ‘risks for peace’ by a US. administration that is outraged by
the sight of too many Jews in Jerusalem. If we wait until the Iranians have
sunk their nuclear weapons deep into hardened bunkers it will be too late. The Obama administration will not act in time. Later, will be
too late. Israel: Don’t wait; hit the Iranian nuclear facilities now.” (2/7/2012)

“The central issue for Israel and the United States is this: can Iran be stopped by a pre-emptive attack, or must we wait until it launches -- or threatens to launch -- a nuclear missile at Israel, or explodes -- or threatens to explode – ‘suitcase bombs’ in U.S. cities … Ettinger believes the reluctance to engage in a pre-emptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities ‘is harmful, ignores precedents, plays into Iran's hands and threatens Israel's existence’ because it conveys ‘hesitancy, skepticism and fatalism, aiming to preclude pre-emption and assuming that Israel can co-exist with a nuclear-armed Iran,’ which of course it cannot, anymore that the United States could have co-existed with Cuba when the Soviet Union placed nuclear missiles there during the Kennedy administration … Now Israel and the U.S. are faced with another choice: a pre-emptive strike that would setback, or destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities, or wait and see what might happen. Does anyone -- other than Ron Paul -- deny the disaster that might occur if Iran had a nuclear device and the capability to deliver it against targets in Israel and America? As the joke goes, ‘denial is not just a river in Egypt.’" (2/2/2012)

“European and American perfidy in dealing
with Iran's nuclear weapons program apparently has no end … There is nothing
new in this game of fake sanctions. And what it shows more than anything is
that the Europeans and the Americans are more concerned with pressuring Israel
not to attack Iran's nuclear installations than they are in preventing Iran
from becoming a nuclear power … Today's principal form of Jew-hatred is anti-
Zionism. Anti-Zionism is similar to previous dominant forms of Jew hatred such
as Christian anti-Judaism, xenophobic and racist anti- Semitism, and Communist
anti-Jewish cosmopolitanism in the sense that it takes dominant, popular social
trends and turns them against the Jews … to support Israel and Zionism involves
accepting that Jews have inherent rights … that you embrace and defend the
notion that the Jews have the right to their own interests … to realize that
since Jewish survival is dependent on Jewish power, and anti-Zionists reject
the right of Jews to have power, that anti-Zionists seek to bring about a
situation where Jewish survival is imperiled.” (1/28/2012)

“If Gutman had
studied history, he would know that Muslim hatred of Jews predates by many
centuries Israel's 1948 rebirth as a Jewish state … But it is not only Jews who
are being singled out for verbal abuse and physical attacks. In last month's
Smithsonian magazine, there was a revealing story by Joshua Hammer about the
stepped-up attacks by Egyptian Muslims against Coptic Christians, who trace
their lineage to the time of Christ. In fact, notes Hammer, attacks against
Coptic churches and individual Christians have increased since Egyptian
President Hosni Mubarak was deposed. Radical Muslims have little regard for
other religious viewpoints … No intelligent person who has observed the media
attacks against Israel (not to mention the many wars, countless terrorist
incidents and continuing threats directed at Israel's destruction) can credibly
conclude that Israel's enemies are merely hyperbolic ... [yet] there are people
who continue to advance the fiction that only Israel stands in the way of
peace. It's past time to stop taking potshots at Israel and start directing
"fire" at the prime suspects behind continuing war and turmoil in the
region.” (12/8/11)

“Plainly put, we live in a dangerous world,
and we need to do everything possible to remain safe … But the fact that our
efforts to shield ourselves from catastrophic attack are upsetting Moscow pales
next to the folly of remaining needlessly vulnerable. So even as we work to
keep rogue states from obtaining the ultimate weapon, we can’t neglect the need
to protect ourselves in a worst-case scenario. Indeed, a missile shield could
do much to prevent the Irans and North Koreas of the
world from acquiring such weapons. After all, why go to the trouble and expense
of building them if you know they’re unlikely to succeed? It wouldn’t be
practical. So missile defense, besides bolstering our security considerably,
can help keep the world from becoming a more volatile place … There’s no excuse
to delay or shortchange our ability to defend ourselves as fully as possible.
We need an immediate and comprehensive missile defense. With it, we can deprive
our enemies of a powerful weapon. What are we waiting for?” (12/1/11)

“If Israel's existence were threatened, as it
regularly is, France would surely not be the only country the world could
depend on to stand idly by. The French would doubtless be joined by the rest of
the West, as in 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973 ... the world was not about to
intervene. At least not on Israel's side ... Inescapable conclusion: The only
people who'll go to war to defend Israel are the Israelis. Maybe that's why
they've emerged victorious from every threat (so far). They've learned to
depend on themselves. Or should have by now. It's also why they're considering
a strike against the existential threat posed to their state by Iran's
fast-developing nuclear program. The mullahs' dream of a nuke of their own
becomes closer to reality with every turn of those centrifuges in the vicinity
of Teheran. The Iranians have just about completed dispersing and hardening the
sites of their nuclear facilities … Soon enough it will be too late to end it.
Once the fanatics in Teheran have a nuclear weapon and the means to deliver it,
does anyone think they will hesitate to use it against Israel, which they're
fond of referring to as a ‘one-bomb state’? Time grows short. It's passing as
quickly as Iran's centrifuges are whirling.”
(11/17/11)
“In
other words, in colluding with the UN's anti-Israel commission, whose mandate
from the UN Human Rights Council was to explain how Israel broke international
law by acting to defend its citizens from Hamas's illegal, indiscriminate
missile assault, B'Tselem's goal was to undermine
Israel's ability to defend itself. B'Tselem wished to
use the UN commission to foment an international witch-hunt against the Jewish
state that would exact a prohibitive price for defending the country. Israel's
democratically elected government would react to the international onslaught by
ignoring the needs of the Israeli public and opting not to defend the country
again. Obviously, if Israel ceases to defend itself, in light of its enemies'
dedication to its destruction, it will cease to exist … It is hard to know what
is driving these men to act as they do. But it is high time that they exercise
some independent judgment and rethink their support for the radical left's
foreign funded, judicially enabled assault on Israeli democracy.” (11/15/11)

“What flummoxed Chamberlain, and modern-day
apologists for evil, is their refusal to accept that dictators do not live by
Western standards or think as we do … When Iran lies, the State Department
believes their lies; when Iran tells the truth, say, about wishing to wipe
Israel off the map, State doesn't believe them … Breaking news: Islamists lie!
What about the ‘land for peace’ formula that has been the accepted doctrine of
so many U.S. administrations? Does Landau think that formula is still valid?
Not surprisingly, he does not, nor does he believe it ever was a workable
formula. ‘The root cause of the conflict in the region,’ he says, ‘is the total
refusal by Palestinians and Arab states to accept a Jewish state of any size’ …
‘Islamism is the third totalitarian ideology following fascism and communism.’
The question now is will the rest of the world develop a strategy for
destroying (not containing, because it will not be contained) Islamism as it
did fascism and communism? The IAEA report requires even more urgency in
pursuit of this objective, but remarks in Cannes by Sarkozy
and Obama are not a reason for optimism that they
understand what will be necessary to confront and defeat this third
totalitarian ideology.” (11/10/11)

“The failure of Barack
Obama to negotiate an acceptable agreement to leave
enough troops in Iraq to secure the peace and prevent an Iranian takeover is a
diplomatic and strategic failure of major proportion. Now led by the
Department of Justice, the Administration is compounding the diplomatic
disaster by pretending radical Islam is no longer a threat worth mentioning …
‘I think it's an absolute disaster,’ said
Gen. Keane. We won the war in Iraq, and we're now losing the peace’ …
For all the mistakes and the enormous cost of the Iraq war, it was from the
beginning a classic case of America being willing to fight against evil with
the hope of allowing good to one day prevail. Tragically, we have a
President and an Administration that is either unwilling or unable to even
distinguish between good and evil, much less muster the courage to stand up for
righteousness.” (10/25/11)
“The Obama doctrine
for intervention would appear then to be: Intervene only where American
interests are in no way implicated. But in situations such as those in Iran and
Syria, where intervention of some kind would serve American strategic interests
as well as humanitarian concerns, hold back.” (10/25/11)
“The Obama
administration's response to Iran's plan to bring its 32-year-old war against
the United States to the US capital is the newest confirmation that President Barack Obama has no intention in
taking action to remove or diminish the threat Iran poses to the US, its allies
and interests … Over the weekend, the US announced that its troops would be
fully removed from Iraq in January. Obama has
insisted on withdrawing his surge troops from Afghanistan despite the Taliban
resurgence in the country … As nuclear proliferation scholar Avner Cohen explained in an interview with The Jerusalem
Post earlier this month, the administration is committed to a policy of
containing a nuclear-armed Iran rather than preventing Iran from acquiring
nuclear weapons … A regime that sent 100,000 of its children to their deaths
during the Iran-Iraq War by dispatching them to the battlefields as human mine
sweepers is not a regime that can be contained through mutual assured
destruction as the Soviets were … Iran's war against the US is a war that only
Iran is fighting. And if something doesn't change very quickly, it is clear
that since Iran is the only side fighting the war, Iran is the only side that
will win the war.” (10/24/11)

“Clearly, the US is also being betrayed by
the new [Egyptian] regime. If the Muslim Brotherhood controls the next Egyptian
government, Egypt will join Lebanon and Turkey as the newest member of the
growing club of nations ruled by Islamic radicals. This week, Lebanon’s
Hezbollah-appointed Prime Minister Najib Mikati finally formed his Hezbollah- controlled government.
Hezbollah has now officially swallowed Lebanon. The regional and indeed global
repercussions of the development are simply mind-boggling … This week, the
Turks went to the polls and re-elected Prime Minister Recip
Erdogan and his radical Islamic AKP party to lead the
country for a third term … Both nuclear-armed Pakistan and Yemen are quickly
approaching the day when they will be led by al Qaida or its affiliates … Iran
also has enriched 56.7 kilos of uranium to the 20% level, from which it is a
relatively simple matter to increase enrichment levels to the 90% needed to
make a nuclear bomb … The launch indicates that Iran is acquiring greater
prowess in developing intercontinental ballistic missile capabilities. Such
capabilities along with Iran’s nuclear program and global ambitions constitute
a clear and present danger to Europe and the US … At this point, it is
inarguable that the policy of sanctioning Iran favored by the US and Europe has
failed … to significantly slow Iran’s progress towards the atom bomb.
Obviously, the only possible way to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons
at this late hour is to attack its nuclear installations … Obama’s
sole policy for dealing with the nuclear weapons-seeking and openly genocidal
Iranian regime is appeasement … Obama refuses to even
state openly that he would use force to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear
weapons. What this means is that – as was the case in May 1967, when the
combined Arab armies gathered with the express purpose of wiping the Jewish
state off the map – today again, Israel is alone at its hour of greatest
peril.” (6/18/11)

“The Obama administration
is so desperate to appease the Islamic savages and cut a peace deal with them
that U.S. negotiators no longer require preconditions of Taliban fighters we
negotiate with—like that they halt the killing of innocent civilians and our
troops or break with al-Qaeda, the Telegraph of London
reported … U.S. negotiators and their British counterparts aren’t even requiring
that the Taliban embrace the Afghan constitution that our troops and many
Afghans paid for with blood.
Worse yet, they are aiming to turn control of the county at least partly over
to the Taliban in a ‘shared power’ deal, essentially throwing the Afghan people
to the wolves.
Meanwhile our troops take bullets enforcing
the Afghan constitution and continue to die fighting for what the Obama administration is giving away at the negotiating
table … If the American public got the full story on this, they’d be outraged …
The Taliban has been laughing since Secretary of State Hillary Clinton first
proposed negotiating with the ‘moderate’ members of the Taliban in 2009.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid
called this a ‘lunatic idea,’ insisting that there were no moderate Taliban …
Still Obama and Cameron plow ahead, pushing for what
the British papers call a ‘political solution.’ By that they mean one that will
make Obama look great … to America’s enemies.” (6/7/11)

“Note how Obama has
undermined Israel's negotiating position. He is demanding that Israel go into
peace talks having already forfeited its claim to the territory won in the '67
war -- its only bargaining chip. Remember: That '67 line runs right through
Jerusalem. Thus the starting
point of negotiations would be that the Western Wall and even
Jerusalem's Jewish Quarter are Palestinian -- alien territory for which Israel
must now bargain. The very idea that Judaism's holiest shrine is alien or
that Jerusalem's Jewish Quarter is rightfully or historically or
demographically Arab is an absurdity … Obama also
moved the goal posts on the so-called right of return. Flooding Israel with
millions of Arabs would destroy the world's only Jewish state … Obama's response to this relentless Palestinian
intransigence? To reward it -- by abandoning the Bush assurances, legitimizing
the ‘67 borders and refusing to reaffirm America's rejection of the right of
return. The only remaining question is whether this perverse and
ultimately self-defeating policy is born of genuine antipathy toward Israel or
of the arrogance of a blundering amateur who refuses to see that he is
undermining not just peace but the very possibility of negotiations.” (5/29/11)

“When President Obama
called yesterday for Israel to pull back to the borders that existed before the
1967 Six-Day War – lines Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called militarily
‘indefensible’ – top-rated nationally syndicated radio host Michael Savage turned to the
Bible
for a glimpse of the Middle East's future. ‘Ezekiel is predictive of what's
going to happen,’ Savage said as he read from the Hebrew scriptures on the air.
‘There will be a war’ … ‘In other words,’ Savage said, ‘if you believe in the
Bible as the word of God, God is saying that the day will come that God will
show himself, when all of these despicable nations that Obama
is in love with will rise up against the Jewish people … He says he shall be
known by the war he brings down upon those who attack the Jewish people,’
Savage said. ‘That is how God will speak to them.’ He then read Ezekiel 39:12,
which says: ‘And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying them, that
they may cleanse the land.’ ‘So he predicts,’ Savage said, referring to the
prophet Ezekiel, ‘that there will be so many corpses coming at Israel, it will
take seven months to bury the corpses of those who rise up against
Israel.’" (5/21/11)

“A return to the pre-1967 borders would have major
implications for Israel’s people and its security, and would be a major step
toward the oft-repeated Palestinian goal of pushing the Jewish state entirely
into the sea. This would require the abandonment of Judea and Samaria, the
Golan Heights, the Sinai Peninsula, and East Jerusalem (including, most likely,
the Temple Mount itself) … Even more importantly, such a reduction of Israeli
territory would eliminate the security buffer currently created by the
Territories, thereby deeply threatening the Jewish state’s security. In an era
when Arab fighters are employing rockets (both homemade and imported) and other
standoff weaponry, moving the border of an unregulated Palestinian state up to
the border of Israel would not only endanger Israeli citizens living in those
border areas, but would also put major coastal cities like Tel Aviv, which is a
mere eleven miles (18 km) from what would be Palestinian land, well within
range of Katyusha rockets. In other words, pulling
back altogether to the pre-1967 borders would leave Israel’s ability to protect
and defend itself crippled … Again, the ignorance of, or refusal to
acknowledge, the fact that the refusal to accept Israel’s right to exist
extends far beyond just Hamas is striking.” (5/20/11)
“In Colorado on Tuesday, Sarah Palin laid out principles of what may eventually turn into
a Palin foreign policy doctrine. In a speech that
honored military families whose children made the ultimate sacrifice, Palin said that ‘we should only commit our forces
when clear and vital American interests are at stake. Period.’ Then, Palin said that if America commits troops and ‘if we have
to fight, we fight to win. To do that, we use overwhelming force. We only send
our troops into war with the objective to defeat the enemy as quickly as
possible. We do not stretch out our military with open-ended and ill-defined
missions. Nation building is a nice idea in theory, but it is not the main
purpose of our armed forces. We use our military to win wars” … Palin then said that ‘American soldiers must never be put
under foreign command. We will fight side by side with our allies, but American
soldiers must remain under the care and the command of American officers.’” (5/4/11)

documents clearly show ‘for years afterward, U.S. troops continued to find
chemical weapons labs, encounter insurgent specialists in toxins and uncover

former head of Saddam’s nuclear research program supported this, as well. He
wrote: ‘… he kept the country’s Atomic Energy Commission alive … [O]ur nuclear program could have been reinstituted at the snap
of Saddam Hussein’s fingers’ … Of note too is a January 2004 revelation by
Syrian journalist defector Nizar Nayuf.
He reported there were three locations in Syria where Iraqi WMDs had been
transported prior to the 2003 invasion and were being stored … Five years after
Joe Wilson’s op-ed claimed no yellowcake was sold to Iraq … In July 2008, in an

“Last week, Israel announced it had
successfully completed testing the Iron Dome system, designed to protect
civilians from short-range rockets fired by Hamas militants in Gaza and
Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon … The military on Monday released three brief
video clips of last week's test, each showing streaking rockets disappearing
inside a white circular flash … Israel has had no system in place to guard
against thousands of rockets that militants rained down on its southern and
northern borders over the years. Millions of Israeli civilians are within
rocket range, and the military stepped up its quest for a solution after the
country's 2006 war against Hezbollah, when 4,000 rockets bombarded northern
Israel … Iron Dome, developed at a cost of more than $200 million, uses cameras
and radar to track incoming rockets and shoot them down within seconds of their
launch, the Defense Ministry said. It is to be integrated into a multilayered
defense umbrella designed to neutralize all missile threats – including
long-range ballistic missiles from Iran that might be configured to carry
nuclear warheads … ‘The cost of one day of warfare against the Hamas and
Hezbollah, for example, will cover 10,000 interceptors.’” (1/12/10)

The height of
hypocrisy—the essence of evil: (4200 solders vs. 45 million babies)
Many
of those who protest any war to protect freedom and democracy support the death
of 45 million babies and call it pro-choice. Hopefully, most of us will never
have to deal with the guilt and pain that comes from being brave enough to kill
babies, but not terrorists.
