To win this war we must know our enemies
Quoting from the Chinese strategist Sun Tzu “One who does not know the enemy… will be in danger in every battle.” And in the case of the United States presently – will loose the war.
Never in our history has the enemy been so overt, their intentions so clear. Yet never in our history have we failed so miserably to deal with it.
Our understanding of this enemy and this war is shrouded in politics, selfish acts and cowardice when so much is at stake (the whole basis for our existence).
Who Is The Enemy?
Answer: Islam
In a few words Islam is “murder for salvation.” Jihad is not a renegade idea dreamed up by a few militant Islamo fascists of radical Islam. Rather, jihad is explicitly commanded by the Koran, the holy book of Islam, the idea that has driven fifteen centuries of Islamic conquest and imperialism. The Koran says the goal of jihad is to wipe out other religions and teach Muslims to kill non-Muslims, enslave them, confiscate their property and force them to pay tribute (called Jizya) to accomplish this goal.
Muhammad taught that even he did not know if Allah would send him to paradise because dying in a jihad is the only way to be sure to go to paradise.
“HEAVEN IN ISLAM”
In short and to be clear the Koran tells Muslims the only sure way to their Heaven is in murdering non believers – Infidels (… that’s most all of us in the USA). Make no mistake and call it what you will, but in the end it is a religious war and no one wants to admit it because of our greatest enemy: Political Correctness.
The Question We Have To Ask And Answer Ourselves Is
“Can We Co-exist With Islam?”
In our country, where Muslims can gain power peacefully through our political process, imagine a US landscape dominated by Islam? Remember that poor fellow in Afghanistan who was recently sentenced to death for becoming a Christian?
… Just what and WHO are we fighting for? Islam believes in freedom and liberty except for slaves, infidels and women. Can a religion like this integrate with the foundational democratic concepts practiced here in the United States?
The sum effect of Islam is apparent in many countries: Impoverished habitants, poor living conditions, no separation of church and state, no freedom, no opportunities and the people are insecure and I might add when they are not killing infidels, they are busy killing each other.

We Americans Must Be Able To Sacrifice To Gain Victory Against This Terrific Foe
Throughout life we make sacrifices to achieve goals. We work hard to put children through school, get a house, car; build a business, etc. There is a price to pay for everything. War is no different.
For this war the price to pay is to work harder and sacrifice even more. I feel that as a nation we have lost touch with reality. We are spoiled. By that I mean very few of us really appreciate the legacy of freedom our forefathers fought, sacrificed and died for. We squander it away in many ways; lust for material things, sacrificing our quality of life to appease enemies… Laziness, when it comes to responsibility, we want other people or the government to be responsible for our lives and decisions. Cowardice in that we want other people… our all-volunteer soldiers to do our fighting for us as we go about our lives, unchanged. Meanwhile, our politicians put their own selfish interests ahead of the people – so obsessed with their power lust – and NOT obsessed with our best interests. THIS WAR IS EVERY CITIZEN’S responsibility and we all need to play our roles united against the enemy and “BECOME” committed and resolved to support our troops – not just with lip service but with WHATEVER IT TAKES TO ACHIEVE VICTORY!
Leadership
Leadership is what makes things happen. Without leadership we are lost. To go to war, a leader must unite the country. Not everyone will agree but that same leader must ‘command’ the respect of the people. U.S. Citizens do not like to loose and want instant gratification so this calls for extraordinary leadership to rally and motivate the people.
By throwing political correctness out the door and speaking cordially with the people, most will understand. President Reagan was an example of this and when the press tried to crucify him he spoke to the people, not the press and the press lost. A leader needs to tell the people what is at stake and the complications or sacrifices which might be needed for victory. A leader must also explain a real strategy to win with the goals to achieve with the prize in the end being we get our freedom back.
Wouldn’t it be nice to board a plane like the good ole days?
People need to know that in winning this war they get their freedom back!
Otherwise what is the point of fighting?
Sports is a great example: When your home team is winning everyone gets onboard and all fired up… but when they’re losing… everyone loses interest gets involved with other things. We have two fronts to win this war – here, at home and on the battlefield.
A president must be trusted to the details of war – it cannot be an open book or a democratic process. We Americans have the responsibility to elect and support a leader…
… May God be with us.
To paraphrase Vince Lombardi: ‘Winning is a habit, unfortunately, so is losing.” We do not want to keep being a country that loses in our wars (Korea, Viet Nam, Middle East). As Vince said: “Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all the time thing.’
Something to think about.
Hooah!
