The Brits and Aussies Are Better!




If we aren’t very careful, here in America, the Brits, and the Aussies, are going to “eat our lunch” in going after the terrorists!

The Brits, and the Aussies, are “aggressively” going after the terrorist, in Their Homelands, with whatever it takes, including shooting them down in the streets. (Colateral Damage, as it turns out.)

We have a major problem with the government of this great land. That problem is called Liberals. (They don’t like it when you call them that. They prefer “Progressives”. Yeah, right! )

I have come to believe the reason we haven’t had bombings in the US, similar to those in London, is simply because the American Left is doing more for the cause of the terrorists than the terrorist could possibly do with their bombs!

However, it’s coming. The bombings, I mean. It is a matter of time, only.

Now, I know it is politically incorrect to agree with the US government’s interning all those Japanese-Americans during the Second World War. I DO agree with it. It was necessary. Disagreeable, yes, but necessary. The West Coast of America was attacked at least three times by the Japanese and that doesn’t include the battles in the Aleutians. Maybe it is time to begin considering the same thing for the Moslem-Americans among us now. Sounds horrible, doesn’t it? It is horrible. But, again, WE ARE AT WAR!

Our government has refused to secure the borders of the country and, as a result, we have no idea who is walking among us.

Our borders are wide-open… north and south. The terrorists are taking advantage of these open doors and infiltrating into the States. We don’t know what they are bringing with them. Some believe small nukes are already situated within the US only awaiting the order to bring devastation on our cities. Our Intelligence Community knows the terrorists have been attempting to purchase those small nukes, some called “suitcase nukes”, from black marketeers for some time. How do we know they have not been successful? We don’t. The smart thing, it seems to me, is to set up our defenses as though we believe they have those nukes in their possession and have successfully penetrated the borders and placed them in strategic locations within the US. (Some, from the conservative wing of American politics, are suggesting we make it known that OUR nuclear sights are set on the great cities of Mecca and Medina. If the terrorists set off nukes in our cities, we will flatten their “holy cities”. Tit for tat. “Lex Talionis”!)

Paranoid? I don’t think so. From the bellowing of the Liberals in Congress it will probably take the explosion of a couple of those weapons (One won’t do it!) of Mass Destruction before the lame brained idiots come to understand that those of us, out here in the hinterlands, screaming at the top of our voices that we are AT WAR, are not the raving lunatics they think, but a bunch of realists.

We ARE AT WAR! The military knows this better than anyone. The Pentagon is asking for the draft age to be upped to 42 years of age. We’re going to need men. Fighting men. Right now some 59% of the combat troops in Iraq are Reservists! Does this tell you anything? Our Regular Army is roughly one-third the size we need right now! The draft is coming. Soon.

The US Government’s first priority is the security of its citizens. They are not taking that priority seriously enough. Nether is the average citizens. If 9/11 proved nothing else, it proved we are not invulnerable. We can be hit and hit big!

The next attack on the soil of the US will make 9/11 look like a Sunday School picnic.

And we are going to wait. We are “turning the other cheek”, again. How many cheeks do we have to turn? Enough is enough!

Look, the United States cannot lose this war and survive. No matter what the Liberals say, this is not the Viet Nam War. We cannot pack up and go home when the politicians lose their nerve, this time. We need to take the leash off our troops and let the killing begin… in earnest. Currently, we are not killing the enemy at a sufficient rate. I doubt that we ever can. But we can decimate them. And we are not doing that now.

Just as the politicians in Washington brought shame on out Viet Nam Vets, they are bent on the same conclusion of the current conflict in the Middle East.

Get the lawyers off the battlefields and let the troops do their jobs of breaking things and killing people. Only then will the opposition begin to believe we are serious.

After Mogadishu, The terrorists believe if they make us bleed we will quit and go home. Sad to say, if the Congress wasn’t getting so much heat from back home, that would already have happened. Right now, it is the average American citizen keeping the fires stoked under our Senators, and Congressman, in Washington, DC, to maintain our commitment to this war. If not for that, our troops would have been pulled out, long ago, and brought home... in shame… again!

It is becoming clearer, as the days go by, that we have nearly as much to fear from the spineless bungling in our nation’s capitol as we do from the terrorists!

The old expression that “God looks after, drunks and little children” must have been expanded to include… America, because our leaders, sure as hell, are not doing it!
