Warfighting 101

From: Mark Alexander

“A universal peace … is in the catalogue of events, which will never exist but in the imaginations of visionary philosophers, or in the breasts of benevolent enthusiasts.” –James Madison

I spent much of the last week participating in a national security forum organized by the Air War College and hosted by the Twelfth Air Force and the 355th Fighter Wing at Davis-Monthan AFB.

Discussing the challenges of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and the surge for Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) in Afghanistan with command personnel makes for lively debate, but the best part of these forums is incidental — the opportunity to meet many enlisted airmen and those flying the planes they make ready.

I have been on military bases across the nation, and without fail I am most impressed by the young uniformed Patriots who are the foundation of our military might. Simply put, their dedication, talent and spirit are second to none.

The Lack of Gun Control

From Reason.com

…it’s no stunner that after a year in office, the president is getting hammered by people who have no use for his policy on firearms. The surprise is that the people attacking him are those who favor gun control, not those who oppose it.

Obama’s record on this issue has been largely overlooked—except by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, which recently issued a report card flunking him on all seven issues it deems important. Said President Paul Helmke, “If I had been told, in the days before Barack Obama’s inauguration, that his record on gun violence prevention would be this poor, I would not have believed it.”

Do you want these people on YOUR streets?

In the name of multi-culturalism? This is why Geert Wilders says, “We must not tolerate the intolerant.”

This is how they react because they don’t like critical CARTOONS?!

Taliban bombmaker identified – he’s a Brit!

The British forces in Afghanistan have identified a bombmaker after neutralising an unexploded IED.  After sending DNA traces back to the UK for analysis, the bombmaker was identified as a British Muslim.  More than 50 British soldiers have already been killed by IEDs in Helmand Province, and over 200 have been seriously wounded.

But, he’s a Brit, isn’t he loyal to his home, his country? Or does the toxic ideology of radical Islam trump the patriotism of a citizen?

“If something is true, how can it be illegal?” – Geert Wilders

“I would like to begin by saying that of all our attainments, freedom is the most precious and most vulnerable.

I have nothing against Muslims. I have a problem with the Islam and the Islamization of our country because Islam is at right angles to freedom.

“It is not only the right, but also the duty of free people to speak out against any ideology that threatens freedom.”

Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, was right: “The price for freedom is eternal vigilance.” – Geert Wilders

Death threats from followers of “The Religion of Peace”

Theo van Gogh

The Muslim man interviewed in the YouTube video below says, regarding Geert Wilders, “He should take lessons from people like Theo van Gogh.”

Theo van Gogh was a Dutch film director, film producer, columnist, author and actor. He was the great-grandson of Theo van Gogh, who was the brother of artist Vincent van Gogh.

Van Gogh worked with writer Ayaan Hirsi Ali to produce the film Submission, which was critical of the treatment of women in Islam. On 2 November 2004 he was assassinated by Mohammed Bouyeri, a Dutch-Moroccan Muslim.

Freedom of religion is a good thing – killing and threatening to kill anyone who criticizes your religion is NOT a good thing. Wilder’s assertion is that we should not tolerate the intolerant, that Radical Islam is a serious threat.
