Every NATO deployment is US heavy; Europe is cutting its military to the bone and placing the burden on the US; Europe has been allowed to do this for the last 60 years. When you evaluate what benefit the US gets out of the arrangement; it’s miniscule in comparison to the strain it places on US budgets.

Turkey is not involved with the program but yet it wants to influence the US relationship with Israel through NATO. As Turkey goes more Islamic the ties of the NATO organization are being pulled by Turkey against Israel. Turkey is but one member out of 28 and in the US distrust for Turkey is growing because of the anti-Israeli stance Ankara is taking.

There are no people called Palestinians. This is not to delegitimize the Arabs living in the territories known as Judea and Samaria; the truth delegitimizes falsehoods perpetrated by the PLO leader Yasser Arafat who coined the term Palestinian in 1967. Now where in history is a state called Palestine? Read Roman history it was renamed Palestine by the Romans; that’s 2000 years ago and is just an effort by the Arabs to show legal claim to land they themselves conquered.

The teachers have collective bargaining rights that we don't have. We the owners of the schools and the owners of the very state government that conceived of such a corrupt arrangement are demanding reform of our education system and want the state to take control of all aspects of running that education; especially since they mandated that we the people have no choice.

As for Oslo losing the city to Muslim gangs; they never fought the gangs; they just gave that section of the city to the Muslims. That is the failure of European multiculturalism, the central governments of France, Germany, and Norway have just given up parts of there countries to Islamic law. Look out America don't follow these fools; they don't care what happens to the common man caught in the middle of a social engineering failure. There is no substitute for freedom and liberty. To the people of Oslo I say this: Live Free or Die!

Iran will form a coalition with Southern Iraq making Muqtada al-Sadr its principle leader. Al-Malaiki will be forced to flee Baghdad where the Sunni will slaughter the Shiite. Iran will intervene on the side of the Shiite sending troops to support Al-Sadr in Southern Iraq; the US will intervene sending the Iranians back across the border. A confederacy of Arab (Sunni) state will gather in Baghdad to draw up plans to invade Iran.

The Syrian people have tried non-violence and now they have their martyrs for the revolution to start. Oh you know where all those Libyan arms went now. I hope the Syrian people succeed in overthrowing Assad and his minority of thugs; that would have real implications for Iran who deserves a kick in the teeth. VIVA LA Revolution, Syrian style. You know it got to be that way because, Assad will never leave while in a vertical position.

That whole generation had authority problems and couple that with a war; you have protests. But basically we just wanted to party! That's why it disappeared after Nixon's resignation.

I haven’t heard one thing that Occupy actually stands for. I can only assume that they are anti-capitalist or socialist, to tell you the truth I don’t know. But from what I have observed the numbers are not there to actually become a major protest movement. Remember the radicals of 50 years ago disappeared when Nixon resigned over the Watergate break-in and cover-up. Most of the protesters went back to school or went to work and are now today’s conservatives; funnier thing have happened in history.

Here they are occupying Wall Street as though it were responsible for the economic problems that plague the entire world. The problem is not Wall Street but Pennsylvania Ave. This country does not have civil leadership it has damage control groups that have no idea what they are doing and that is proven by the fact they blame everyone else for the problems. What ‘Z’ did was against the government not business. I will now attempt to direct Occupy in the right direction. Set your tents up in Lafayette Park in front of the White House and in front of the Capital building.

The left that is against the US invasion of Iraq have enabled Iranian expansion into Iraq. In 6 months Iran will have a nuclear weapon and Russia and China helped the Iranians get there. We still allow Russia to help disarm the US nuclear capabilities while China increases it nuke stock pile. We are on the road to Perdition and the devil him self is leading the way.

This man put his career on the line to save his men and you call him reckless. I can just imagine your response to the same situation; too many Americans would die while you deliver their Miranda Rights in the middle of a battle and the Americans that died would have died in vain because you would of pulled out before victory was achieved.

Americans do not need media guidance on what the issues are. For instance, the Arab spring; the president calls it a democratic movement but Islamists are taking over. The American people know that from the beginning; the president knows it but hid the end result in favor of appeasing Islamists. Iran is supporting the Islamists in Libya and building a coalition to exterminate the state of Israel. There will be no democracy in Libya; there will be no democracy in Iraq; there will be no Democracy in Afghanistan. What there will be is trouble down the road.

The ability to prevail has been out sourced and with the way the world is getting more and more chaotic our response time is getting smaller by the minute. WE lack the ability to understand our enemies therefore we dismiss their true intentions. Why would China given an economic chance to improve their lot by the West need Aircraft carriers? Aircraft carriers are without a doubt offensive in nature; and have no defensive quality other than what the carrier group can extend to the carrier. So tell me for what purpose are the Chinese building up their military far beyond defensive capibilities?

The oath is not being enforced on the presidents; I will not single out Obama because it has been a succession of presidents and congresses that have created the situation we see ourselves in at this point in history. Decisions made by past leaders will cause the death of millions of Americans.

The politicians and diplomats don't care if your sons, daughters or grand kids have to save democracy a 100 times. Disarming before an enemy is suicide.

When you look at China’s drive for economic growth and the military advances that China has made in the last 30 years; there comes a time when the build up exceeds the natural defense needs of China. Oh you can rest assure that China will attack Taiwan but the out come is still in doubt for the Chinese. When there is no doubt China will take Taiwan and kick the US fleets out of the South China Sea. Why is the eventual out come so clear to the average American and not so clear to the supposed experts?

Just as Lenin told us; we have sold the rope to hang us with to our enemies. Disarming at this juncture is an act of suicide. Our leaders are either being lied to by our own people or we lack the necessary ability to understand our choices and the nature of the threats. China cannot be trusted to disarm and Russia is helping the Chinese by signing disarmament treaties with the US that reduce the US arsenal even further; thereby closing the gap between China and the US. It is pure insanity mixed with evil. Sat, 15 Oct 2011 11:39:41 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.19cbae00c31007ab44469985e8a939e2.6a1&show_article=1#IDComment207851119
