Proud To Be An American Against Terrorism & Its Propaganda!

Fox News Network is fantastic and it is what CNN use to be when it first got started. O'Rielly I believe speaks for most of America and he is not afraid of the nonsense the left wing throws at him.
The coverage is solid and the best I have watched in long time.

Ike, the problem I have here is propaganda. Left wing rhetoric will inflame those that support is war, conquest, campaign whatever to eradicate terrorism that Islamic nations have let fester and even supported over their own people and not want to whine "Poor Me" America needs to educate us and teach how not to be slaves to evil ... Makes me sick.

For those not knowing FOX News is the best coverage and nonbias. I love O'Reilly Factor. Blunt and to the point.
I agree though ABC should get a stiff pieve of our minds on that crock.

My response is simply a well and concise non war and peace composition unlike the propaganda for the Islams.
Crime or War? The Proper Response to the Terrorist Attacks in New York and Washington
http://www.aynrand.org/medialink/crimeorwar.shtml
September 17, 2001
By Dianne Durante
I am haunted by words from an Ayn Rand novel: "They don't want to live; they want you to die." Watching the smoke from thousands of lives and billions of dollars of property billow past my child's playground in New York on September 11th, I finally grasped what those words meant. The attacks on New York and Washington that day were obviously not just an attempt to strike at America's economy, defense, prestige or national symbols. These attacks, carried out at the beginning of a busy weekday in two of the most populous cities of the East Coast, were cold-bloodedly calculated to wreak maximum death and devastation.
The question—the immediate, essential, urgent question—is how to prevent more attacks by fanatics so zealous to kill Americans that they are willing to die doing it. Our proper response depends on whether this is a crime by individuals or an act of war by a foreign government. If it was a crime by an individual, like the Oklahoma City bombing, then we would gather the evidence and bring the perpetrator to trial. If it was a crime by individuals sponsored and abetted by a foreign government, then it was an act of war, and is a matter for military action: immediate and decisive. If the attack was in fact government-sponsored, then capturing and punishing individual killers is less crucial than preventing further attacks by the foreign government.
Mere hours after the bombings, there was already evidence that terrorist Osama bin Laden was involved. Bin Laden boasted weeks ago that "something big" would be happening soon. Convincing evidence indicates his involvement in earlier bombings, including the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center (6 dead, over 1,000 wounded), the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania (224 dead, over 5,000 wounded), and the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in the harbor of Aden (17 dead, 39 wounded). Bin Laden publicly proclaimed in 1998, "To kill Americans and their allies, both civil and military, is an individual duty of every Muslim who is able, in any country where this is possible." With such a record and such explicit statements, it is easy to believe that bin Laden masterminded the slaughter of September 11.
That, however, does not mean that he is solely responsible, or that eliminating him would eliminate terrorist activity against the United States. Why?
Bin Laden and his like could not operate without the knowledge, cooperation and approval of the governments in whose territory they encamped. Sometimes the cooperation is merely turning a blind official eye to the presence of sizeable enclaves where dozens or hundreds of armed men are being drilled in infiltration, communications, counter-intelligence, weapons, sabotage, murder. Sometimes the government is more active, providing weapons, men, supplies and money.
We have known for a long time which governments are active supporters of terrorists: Iran, Iraq, Syria, the Sudan, Libya, Afghanistan. They have constantly and explicitly abetted bin Laden and other terrorists, and have repeatedly refused to close down the training camps within their boundaries, or to extradite known terrorists. Given the hatred of these governments for the United States—its wealth, its pride, its technology, its emphasis on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness—if bin Laden were killed tomorrow, they would eagerly fund others to take his place. The only way to stop further terrorist attacks is therefore to deal with the source—the countries who harbor terrorists.
We are at war, and we must respond accordingly, causing maximum damage as quickly as possible with minimum risk to and loss of American lives. We must deliver an ultimatum to Iran, Iraq, Syria, the Sudan, Libya and Afghanistan: within seven days, disarm your military, destroy all terrorist camps within your borders, and allow constant inspections henceforth to guarantee that you do not again become a threat to American citizens. If these countries fail to comply—which is extremely likely, given America's record of vacillation and weakness in the face of decades of terrorist attacks—we must unhesitatingly bomb the terrorist camps to rubble, AND raze the capitals of the countries in question, starting with Afghanistan. Blow them out of the 21st century and back to the period that had no respect for life, liberty and property: the Dark Ages.
What about the "innocent citizens" in those countries? Many danced in the streets with delight at the news that thousands of American civilians had been burned and crushed to death. If there are any true innocents among them, let them take those seven days to flee the capital and the country, or to rebel.
To retaliate against a country whose government aids and abets terrorists is not vengeance. It is not bloodlust. It is not murder. It is self-defense. They do not want to live: we do. Let's remove their threat so promptly and so decisively that no one will think of making it again—and then get on with our lives.
Every liberal and terrorist sympathizer or Islam "Poor Me" proagandaist should read this before they start ... lets help the "Poor Me" crock.

Yep that is a crock. They want bin Laden to leave of his own free will (in the USA that is known as flight) but further the call for a holy war if the USA moves on terrorism, Which a lot of the terrorst group are Islam Extremeists.
SO this tells me that no matter what the Islamic Tribe leaders support the killing of innocent infidels in America and thus protecting the terrorist.
Already the liberals are starting their nonsense ...

An Enemy Within ... FrontPageMagazine.com / September 19, 2001
http://www.frontpagemag.com/horowitzsnotepad/
REPRESENTATIVE BARBARA LEE, Democrat of Berkeley, was the only member of Congress who refused to defend her country under attack. The Los Angeles Times calls Barbara Lee a "liberal" and compares her to "anti-war" dissenters of the past, most notably Jeanette Rankin who cast the lone vote in the U.S. Congress against America’s entry into the Second World War and said after Pearl Harbor, "As a woman I can’t go to war, and I refuse to send anyone else." We are at war again, and it’s time to call things by their right names.
Barbara Lee is not an anti-war activist, she is an anti-American communist who supports America’s enemies and has actively collaborated with them in their war against America.
I met Barbara Lee when she was working in city politics in Oakland. I met her in the penthouse headquarters of Huey Newton, the infamous "Minister of Defense" for the Black Panther Party. Newton was a gangster at war with America and Barbara Lee was his undercover agent in local government.
Barbara Lee later became a staffer in the office of Democrat congressman Ron Dellums. In this capacity she committed an act of betrayal that I am unable to describe as treason only because she was never prosecuted for it. At the time, Ron Dellums was the head of the House Sub-committee on Military Installations. In this capacity, he had top security clearance and carried on a one-man campaign to thwart the foreign policy of the United States in regard to the Communist dictatorship of Grenada.
U.S. security officials had identified the Communist dictatorship as a threat because of the presence of large numbers of Soviet bloc advisers and their ongoing construction of an airport that could be used for Soviet military planes. As the ranking Democrat member of the House Armed Services Committee, Dellums went to Grenada to conduct his own fact-finding tour. On his return he testified before the House Subcommittee on Inter-American Affairs that "based on my personal observations, discussion and analysis of the new international airport under construction in Grenada, it is my conclusion that this project is specifically now and has always been for the purpose of economic development and is not for military use…. It is my thought that it is absurd, patronizing and totally unwarranted for the United States Government to charge that this airport poses a military threat to the United States’ national security."
What legislators did not know at the time was that Dellums had previously submitted his report on the airport to the Communist dictator of Grenada for his prior approval, and subject to any changes he or his military advisers chose to make. In other words, Dellums acted as an agent of the Communist enemy in abetting his hostile designs against the United States. His emissary in this act of betrayal was Barbara Lee.
We know this from government documents retrieved by US marines after Grenada was liberated by U.S. forces. One document was a love-letter from Dellums’ chief of staff, Carlottia Scott (recent political issues director of the Demcoratic National Committee) to the Grenadian dictator himself, Maurice Bishop. In the letter Carlottia Scott wrote: "Ron [Dellums] has become truly committed to Grenada, and has some positive political thinking to share with you…. He’s really hooked on you and Grenada and doesn’t want anything to happen to building the Revolution and making it strong. He really admires you as a person and even more so as a leader with courage and foresight, principles and integrity…. The only other person that I know of that he expresses such admiration for is Fidel."
Another document liberated by the marines contained the minutes of a Politburo meeting attended by the Communist dictator and his military command. "Barbara Lee is here presently and has brought with her a report on the international airport that was done by Ron Dellums. They have requested that we look at the document and suggest any changes we deem necessary. They will be willing to make the changes."
If this is not treason, what is?

As far as being worst enemy Clinton forgives terrorist of the FALN and then allows Key encryption devices to go to terrorist states.

One more thing ... you want to come off as a conservative or liberal or "Poor Me" type ... that red spot in the map in the previous post would be a glassy plain. Just be glad I am not the president because I would NOT send our young men into harms way. Nuke em and be done with it.
If someone wants a fight or do another terroristic act to America. Nuke em and be done with it.
Instead of sitting around on our dead duffs and letting the Mafia take over the USA we went after them. That is What the Islamic leaders should have done a long time a go ... called a Holy War or Islamic terrorism.
:=) Gary Swancey
When you research the truely out of control terrorism a lot of the roads lead to guess where? If you are going to take out a problem then you go to the heart of the problem.
Osama Bin Laden's network, which supports numerous terrorist groups in Afghanistan, collaborates extensively and shares training facilities with over a dozen Islamic terrorist groups based in Pakistan. The terror continues unabated today. Dozens of Hindu and other pro-Indian civilians, and security personnel, are butchered every week by Pakistan/Afghanistan-based Islamic terrorist groups such as Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Toiba, Al-Badr Mujahideen, Tehrik-ul-Mujahideen and Hizbul Mujahideen, in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Bottom line to the U.S. Counterterrorism Policy:
First, make no concessions to terrorists and strike no deals;
Second, bring terrorists to justice for their crimes;
Third, isolate and apply pressure on states that sponsor terrorism to force them to change their behavior; and
Fourth, bolster the counterterrorism capabilities of those countries that work with the U.S. and require assistance.
:=) Gary Swancey
Ghandi was a great man ... but that post is a crock of nothing more than nonsense. We have tried negotiating and being the talkative type. We got our economy nailed and over 5000 innocent dead.
Personally I say nail the Islam Extremeist with quick in and out. Any Islam government that does not like it start making glassy plains. As far as Islam religion or political issues that is not USA affairs. Just taking out all the terrorist groups and nail the governments that have hide them.

I think SI: goldworldnet said it best:
Very basically, we need to take out the parties responsible for the WTC.
Afterwards we need to get the hell out of these tribal disputes and stop giving them money.
It was the US that built up Iraq after the Iranian hostage crisis.
It was the US that built up the Taliban against the USSR.

Who did it? Foreign Report presents an alternative view
http://www.janes.com/security/international_security/news/fr/fr010919_1_n.shtml
Israel’s military intelligence service, Aman, suspects that Iraq is the state that sponsored the suicide attacks on the New York Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington. Directing the mission, Aman officers believe, were two of the world’s foremost terrorist masterminds: the Lebanese Imad Mughniyeh, head of the special overseas operations for Hizbullah, and the Egyptian Dr Ayman Al Zawahiri, senior member of Al-Qaeda and possible successor of the ailing Osama Bin Laden.
The two men have not been seen for some time. Mughniyeh is probably the world’s most wanted outlaw. Unconfirmed reports in Beirut say he has undergone plastic surgery and is unrecognisable. Zawahiri is thought to be based in Egypt. He could be Bin Laden’s chief representative outside Afghanistan.
The Iraqis, who for several years paid smaller groups to do their dirty work, were quick to discover the advantages of Al-Qaeda. The Israeli sources claim that for the past two years Iraqi intelligence officers were shuttling between Baghdad and Afghanistan, meeting with Ayman Al Zawahiri. According to the sources, one of the Iraqi intelligence officers, Salah Suleiman, was captured last October by the Pakistanis near the border with Afghanistan. The Iraqis are also reported to have established strong ties with Imad Mughniyeh.
"We’ve only got scraps of information, not the full picture," admits one intelligence source, "but it was good enough for us to send a warning six weeks ago to our allies that an unprecedented massive terror attack was expected. One of our indications suggested that Imad Mughniyeh met with some of his dormant agents on secret trips to Germany. We believe that the operational brains behind the New-York attack were Mughniyeh and Zawahiri, who were probably financed and got some logistical support from the Iraqi Intelligence Service (SSO)."
Mughniyeh was the only one believed to have tried it before. On April 12th 1997, he was reported to be only two hours away from achieving the highest goal of any terrorist organisation (until last week): blowing up an Israeli El-Al airliner above Tel Aviv. A man carrying a forged British passport with the name Andrew Jonathan Neumann was in a Jerusalem hotel preparing a bomb he was supposed to take on board an El-Al flight leaving Israel, when it accidentally went off. Andrew Jonathan Neumann was very badly injured but strong enough to reveal later to the Israelis that he was not British but Lebanese, and that his operation was supposed to be a special "gift" to Israel from Imad Mughniyeh.

Operation Infinite Justice" has begun.
Pentagon Orders Deployment of Aircraft
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A55476-2001Sep19.html
By Charles Babington
washingtonpost.com Staff Writer
Wednesday, September 19, 2001; 3:17 PM
The Pentagon today ordered combat and supply planes to begin moving to the Persian Gulf area, a sign that the nation may be moving closer to armed reprisals for last week's deadly terrorist attacks, a senior defense official told the Associated Press.
The aircraft will be preceded by teams of Air Force air controllers who will coordinate refueling of the fighters and bombers as they deploy from the United States to bases in the Gulf region, the official said.
The order, signed by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, involved no troop movements.
Meanwhile today, stocks resumed the steep dive that began on Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial average had lost more than 400 points by midafternoon, although it recovered slightly with less than an hour left in the trading day.
At the White House, President Bush -- who drew decidedly mixed reviews for his first forays into diplomatic and international affairs earlier this year -- continued an ambitious and complex drive to unite dozens of nations into a solid front against terrorism. After hosting France's president last night, Bush today met with the president of Indonesia (the world's most populous Islamic nation), and was scheduled to meet with the foreign ministers of Russia and Germany. Tomorrow he will welcome British Prime Minister Tony Blair to the White House.
Bush is pressing nations on every continent to back U.S. plans -- admittedly vague for now -- to root out the terrorists who planned and supported last week's devastating attacks in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. While leaders of virtually every nation, including traditional foes such as Iran, have condemned last week's attacks and terrorism in general, the U.S. drive for a broad coalition gives them new leverage to press the Bush administration for concessions.
As a result, Bush faces a crazy quilt of requests, if not outright demands, from many of the nations he hopes to forge into a common front against terrorism. Speaking with reporters as he greeted Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri today, Bush acknowledged that some nations will embrace the coalition more enthusiastically than others.
"This is a campaign in which nations will contribute in a variety of ways," he said. "Some nations will be willing to join in a very overt way. Other nations will be willing to join by sharing information." The coalition's goal, he said, is to locate terrorist leaders, "get them out of their caves, get them moving, cut off their finances."
As for the current investigation, Bush said: "We're on the case. We're gathering as much evidence as we possibly can to be able to make our case to the world about all countries and their willingness to harbor or not harbor terrorists."
Examples of the challenges the president faces:
The Middle East
• Several Arab and Islamic nations want the Bush administration to show more sympathy for Palestinians in their long-running conflict with Israel. These efforts, however, will face stiff resistance from many Jewish Americans and other advocates of America's traditionally strong support of Israel. Earlier this week, Secretary of State Colin Powell implored Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon not to squander an opportunity to renew cooperation with the Palestinians, who have declared a cease-fire in their conflict with Israel.
Pakistan
• U.S. forces will need to base some of their operations in Pakistan if they launch attacks on Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Pakistan, an Islamic nation bordering Afghanistan, has signalled a willingness to cooperate. In return, however, the Pakistanis want the United States to end a decade of economic sanctions, to ease the nation's debt load and to lessen its tilt toward India, Pakistan's key rival.
In a televised speech to his nation today, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf defended his decision to work with the Americans. The U.S.-led effort to capture suspected terrorist Osama bin Laden does not target Islam or the people of Afghanistan, Musharraf said.
Russia
• Russia has deep concerns about Bush's advocacy of a national missile defense system. President Vladimir Putin now has a stronger bargaining position from which to press his objections.
China
• China is linking its support for a U.S.-led anti-terrorism campaign to its own goals of fighting separatist movements in Taiwan, Tibet and Xinjiang province.
Three Men Arrested in Detroit
Meanwhile on the domestic front, federal agents have arrested three men in Detroit who were allegedly found with false identification papers and notes on an American base in Turkey and a Jordanian airport, Detroit newspapers reported today.
The three men, from Algeria and Morocco, were arrested early Tuesday while the FBI was searching for a fourth man believed to have links to suspected terrorist leader Osama bin Laden. The men, two of whom previously worked for an airline meal service at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, were formally charged Tuesday with possession of false identification papers, including passports, Social Security cards and visas, according to an affidavit obtained by the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press.
Elsewhere, according to reports from the AP, Reuters and the Washington Post:
• On Capitol Hill, some lawmakers urged rapid action to aid the nation's airline industry, stricken by layoffs, reduced schedules and the prospects of bankruptcy in the wake of last week's terrorist attacks. "We have to get this done as soon as possible or we will not have an air transportation system," House Transportation Committee chairman Don Young (R-Alaska), said at the opening of a hearing on the industry's economic viability.
• In Colorado, the North American Aerospace Defense Command said U.S. fighter jets were only eight minutes away from one of the hijacked airliners when it crashed into the World Trade Center last week, the Associated Press reported. Two other military jets were 12 minutes away when an airliner hit the Pentagon, according to NORAD's official timeline. Bush had not authorized military pilots to shoot down any civilian planes until after the crash at the Pentagon, and military officials have questioned what fighters would have been able to do even if they had been in time. Nonetheless, the NORAD timeline quantifies how close they were to the scene of the Sept. 11 hijackings.
• In New York, the city's police commissioner said Wednesday hopes were dimming "each minute" of finding survivors in the rubble of the World Trade Center. A full week has passed since the last victim was pulled alive from the wreckage.

Don't start that "help us" crap. Economic cures is not the part for the USA to bail out the world (especially the terrorist states) ... right now the concern should be economy of the USA not the Islams who have allowed terrorism to grow and hurt us and the world economically. Take some of those billions of dollars the middle east has to feed and educate their own people. Create jobs for their own.
I will not be a part nor want any part of economic benefits for countries that only allow terrorism to fester to the point this has become a world problem and then want to sit back and whine, while others address that which they will not.
I hate liberals with their crock of "help us do something else. If you don't then we have to resort to terrorism till you do."
Be extremely glad I am not the president ... I would acknowledge the Taliban alright along with the cells of terrorism. Plus I would stop the short selling strategy also. I would care less about the world because I would have already struck and not carpet bombing either. Just one bomb in select places.
Now the hands are out for "help me" and "poor me" scenarios while over 5000 innocent USA lives are buried under a mass murder stragety to get the USA involved. Makes me sick to my stomach.

Lots of larger corporations are addressing their "Burn Rates" to get the business models focused. Bart is doing what he said he would do and that is build the infrastructure of CBQI. He is not and has not tried to build a holding company or a network of companies.
His focus is extremely deliberate. Why have two offices when one will do as the corporate headquarters? Heck saves me making numerous calls to the divisons to track him down that is for sure.
:=) Gary Swancey
As do I but Bart does not appear to be worried about the flight or the trip. He has a lot he is doing and guess he is not the type let grass grow under his feet.
:=) Gary Swancey
DA ... I just talked to Bart and he is scheduled to depart in about a hour and a half for China. The purpose of the trip I cannot post or say. However, there is a lot happening as the subsidairies are being brought under the CBQ name.
The server has been moved and the website is presently back up on the internet. Also the website will be updated to reflect the consolidation and current aspect of CBQ.
As with any consolidation there will be those that do not want to move and all the other problems when people do not wish to move.
Netserv, Technet, Chinasoft, Easysoft has all been brought under the CBQ name now except Networkland which is the only name that will survive. Look at the last Q and you can see clearly CBQ needed to consolidate operations and cut costs. I hope to have a consolidate infrastructure flow chart in the future.
Presently, there is CBQ infrastructure in Miami, Bejing and Arlington. Other consolidations are happening also and addressing of the "Burn Rate" in CBQ.
Hope this helps but I will be in touch during his trip.

Ike you can say whatever but the call is happening and if the US tries to take out any cell of terrorism a Holy War, whether offical or unofficla will take place.

With a U.S.-led attack appearing increasingly likely, Taliban leaders called on Afghans to prepare for a holy war against the United States, the official Bakhtar News Agency reported today.
"If America attacks our homes, it is necessary for all Muslims, especially for Afghans, to wage a holy war," state-run Voice of Shariat radio reported Mohammed Hasan Akhund, the deputy Taliban leader, as saying. "God is on our side, and if the world's people try to set fire to Afghanistan, God will protect us and help us."
As you can see the Taliban is fueling the Holy War.

I am not worried about what the US will do ... I believe Bush and Colin are surgical knifes. My concern is the Holy War. A Holy War, from everything I read including your previous article, has already basically been called and will grow if nothing else through the poor. Your first article basically conveys this.
I have spent the last week reading the history of Islam.
The terrorist want US to invade on Islam soil and the Taliban has the country and those radicals will not give it up easily. Once the US enters Afghanistan the Islam will consider it an act of holy war.

Still Fighting on the Home Front

SpinTimes Exclusive Commentary
By Robert Vasquez
04/30/2001
Former Senator Bob Kerrey’s recent revelation regarding a mission he led in Viet Nam which resulted in the deaths of supposed civilians is tantamount to picking an old scab. While he may have felt the need to do is, for whatever reason, it has effected the entire generation of soldiers who fought in Viet Nam.
Listen up, America, as a combat disabled veteran myself, I can attest to the fact that it was doubtful that there were any civilians in that conflict. The methods employed by the North Viet Namese, and their Southern counterpart, the Viet Cong, often made it impossible to distinguish between friend and foe. Villagers would sometimes be used as a screen for snipers to fire on U. S. Troops as they passed either on foot patrol, or in vehicle convoy. The Viet Namese knew Americans were prohibited by order and conscience from firing on "unarmed civilians". That was a definite disadvantage to the grunt in the field.
To us, they were all "Chuck, Charlie, Chinks, Gooks, Slopeheads, Slanteyes, or Zipperheads." They were that for a reason; a man finds it difficult to pull the trigger on another man, knowing you are about to snuff out the life of the individual in the cross airs of your sights. Thus, they are dehumanized, the "enemy."
That was why in basic training, as the Drill Instructor asked "What is the purpose of a bayonet?" one was repeatedly trained to thrust their bayoneted rifle into the air, and scream "To KILL!, Drill Sergeant!" That is why the uniform is more than an identifying piece of clothing, but rather a unifying article of training. Everyone has their head shaved, everyone wears the same clothing, everyone eats the same food, sleeps in the same location, manner and with the same type of bed and bedding.
The military’s purpose, when unleashed upon the enemy, is to kill as many as possible, destroy as much materiel (spelled correctly) as possible, and capture as much territory as possible (tactic’s in Viet Nam not withstanding). For someone to step forward twenty or thirty years later and whine that they feel so bad ‘cause this or that happened serves no useful purpose.
No, this writer and soldier does not condone the killing of innocent civilians, but as has been often and by many said, "if you weren’t there, you don’t know." It is convenient for the Bill Clinton sycophants, draft dodger’s and America’s many cowards to now sit back and smugly say "Uh Huh. See I told you, they were all baby killers and murderers. They should take Kerrey and put him on trial, and anyone else that was with him. All those Viet Nam vets are the same way!"
Shakespeare wrote "We sleep soundly in the night, knowing that rough men await to visit violence upon those that would harm us." For the past twenty or thirty years, these same Viet Nam war protesters, the cowards that went to Canada, the Bill Clinton draft dodgers, have sat back and enjoyed life’s bounty because of the men who went and fought in Viet Nam. The legitimacy, purpose, or meaning of the war is not relevant to the soldier, who is trained, and does his duty to God and Country.
Most veterans, like Bob Kerrey, have readjusted to life in America, serving our communities, making a living, establishing careers in all the professions, the arts, movies, books and the trades. Veterans often have a difficult time after returning from an armed conflict, be it W.W.I, W.W.II, Korea, Viet Nam, or more recently Desert Storm. While I disagree with Bob Kerrey’s politics, and certainly could attack his comments on some veterans issues, I stand in support of him as a comrade in arms.
Unless you were in the field, receiving sniper fire from a "civilian village," or witnessed any of the horrific acts committed by "civilians" against our troops, how can you make a judgment of Bob Kerrey, or any of the Viet Nam veterans. Hollywood has given America its stereotype of the Viet Nam veteran, but it is no more accurate than that of the screenwriter’s fantasy and imagination.
You’ve gotten off your chest now, Bob, but maybe they’ll let you keep the Bronze Star anyway. Allons!

Inho you should be just as aware that before reform a war has to be won. As long as terrorist are in control there can be no change. SO why would bin Laden want a war with the world. Becasue he believes we are weak and he can win. Certain things about war that our military I hope is is very cognizant of and have train our troops in might be some of the weaknesses that bin Laden is relying on.
Culture: I was trained to be culturally oriented so that I did not end up being my own worst enemy because of cultural ignorance. I would bet you’re the military is definitely exposing the troops to the Islam culture. Same as they did in the Gulf war. My brother was in the Gulf war and he was firmly told not to insult or mistreat Arabs, they would become warriors or support the opposing forces. You can never underestimate the affect of religion on the conflict.
Who are the Terrorists: Also like in Vietnam and Korea, I believe in calling a Holy War, the US has even more a complicated scenario because there will be no way to some how of sort out active warriors from civilians. The Holy War warriors will not be in fancy uniforms and organized units same as in Vietnam. In Vietnam searching the pockets and believe it or not but sniffing for the smell of gunpowder and gun oil was crude but effective sometimes.
Resourcefulness of the Terrorist: In this war I expect the Holy War warriors to exploited the use of cell phones, Motorola radios, improvised TV stations, lightweight video cameras and the Internet to obtain vital war information. Also snipers, booby-traps and ambushes, not to mention hand-to-hand, will play a big part of this Holy War. These Holy Warrior have trained all their lives for this war where our military is soft fraught with liberal attitudes that the meek will inherit the earth concept..
Training/Experience in Warfare: You should also remember that the USA trained the Taliban in warfare against the Russians and pointed out their weakness which the Islam exploited very efficiently such as perimeter defenses, security, distances between units. poor shots, and other tactical weak points.
physical and Mental Condition:Question is if the US military who has not lived training daily for a Holy War have the physical and mental condition of the Islam warriors. They live on the ground and in caves and live off the land. They are far from being spoiled. That is another edge the Bin Laden has considered also. He has studied the weaknesses of our society and our war tactics from previous wars. Heck we taught them our tactics from Vietnam and other wars not to mention the history of wars the Islam’s have fought and learned from with lives lost.
Warfare Attitude: Americans better not be surprised by the ferocity and brutality of the Islams either. Our military fighting men better understand that the Islam strength is strong combined mobile arms teams with flexible commands and control.
Bottom line this will be a war like no other … A Holy War. (Terrorism with no rules vs the world). IMHO

Yes the landmines are quite real ... AFGHANISTAN IS AN ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS PLACE. THE 1979 SOVIET INVASION, FACTIONAL FIGHTING IN THE EARLY 1990'S, AND THE CURRENT WAR BETWEEN THE TALEBAN AND ITS OPPOSITION HAVE LEFT AN ESTIMATED 10-MILLION MINES PLANTED NEXT TO ROADS, IN THE MOUNTAINS, IN FIELDS AND RIVERBANKS, AND EVEN INSIDE PEOPLE'S HOMES.
Land-mines are catastrophic for children, whose small bodies are particularly vulnerable to the injuries they inflict. One of the mosts heavily mined countries in the world is Afghanistan. The Soviet Union garnered infamy in Afghanistan with its terror technique of littering the countryside with small anti-personnel mines that looked like toy airplanes and were thus a deadly favorite of curious young children.
GRRRRRRRRRRR
Another appauling thing of the Clinton admin was he refused to add the United States to the list of 125 nations signing a treaty to ban anti-personnel land mines in 1997. Of cousr Inho you porbably know the ostensible Clinton excuse to balk at signing the treaty was the protection of 35,000 U.S. troops near Korea's Demilitarized Zone. The first line of defense against a massive attack from the north is a sea of anti-tank mines. But if I remember correctly the treaty banned only anti-personnel mines. Of course anti-personnel mines protect the anti-tank mines from tampering by North Korean soldiers.
This could be a lot worse than Viet Nam just depends on how the plan of war is drawn up. I believe the war department and troops will be fully aware of the mines. Dangerous variable in this offensive. I am sure Bin Laden has this figured in also as does the Taliban.
Do they have the guts to be executed you mean. As long as dictatorships rule and execute anyone who dares to invoke change or bring forth critical reasoning, evolution will never happen. Everyone knows that so when the US goes in I hope the air support burns the poppy fields as they clear a way for the ground troops.

Da Specifically Netserv is a subsidairy of CBQ ... can;t break ranks but the corporate office is being relocated to Arlington.
As far as who came and decided not to I do not know and probably wont know. The phones at Netsrve are forwarded to Arlington.
