What’s Yemen up to exactly?…

Yemen is another mainly Islamic country filled with dishonesty we don’t need to be doing business with, and if they released Jamal al-Badawi, one of the masterminds who conducted the bombing of the USS Cole…

Unfortunate that Yemen would fall for a stunt like this. He is lying, obviously.

pilopino67-
Welcome to MM and you will find alot of vets and their supporters on this board

The Price of a youtube video we would all like to see:
a) USS Cole and a strike group leaving for a “training mission”
b) Mission-2 days lots of “toys” are seen coming up from the magazines and the ordies are busier than Santa’s elves at Christmas time.
c) GPS coordinates that look vaguely like yemen’s infrastructure mysteriously appear in the weapons guidence system.
d) Followed by 12 hours of smoke plumes, explosions, and lots of smoking debris.
and e) Let the steelbeach picnics begin with the mandatory “beer day” immediately afterwards.

Life takes visa, and for everything else that requires a stern butt kicking compliments of the ole US of A there’s the US Military!

Something that has prompted me to comment…

Being one of the guys who was aboard when the Cole was bombed, this makes me just want to find my passport.

I love how they view “justice” over there. That was the greatest three weeks of my life…lots of sarcasm there. I try to be reasonable (the best word I can find at the moment), but maybe I should just stand with my buddies that want Yemen to be a glass parking lot.

I think the Cole with all her VLS cells filled with Tomahawks and magazine filled with 5-inch HE shells is just what that country needs right now.

…sorry! Hit the wrong button…hey, I’m left-handed. What can I say? …continuing; a global war happening, against Islamofacism? They always say the US military is not prepared to fight on a third front, but they are! (1) Afganistan; (2) Iraq; (3) George W. Bush; and (4) the American people.

That’s the problem, Jim! None of the yellow-bellied knee-knockers can get beyond hating their President. Besides, haven’t several of their “leadership (?) denied that there is a global war

One of the things people fail to realize is that we are dealing with a largely tribal culture that has not changed since the middle ages. Moreover, it is fueled with hatred by a religious fanatacism that few people can comprehend.

Negotiation is viewed as a sign of weakness, which will be exploited. Empathy or sympathy are by and large foreign concepts that are again, interpreted as signs of weakness. Threats without action are viewed as an indication of your opposition’s inferority. Hesitation and inaction only fuel their convictions and imbue them with a sense of invulnerability.

Unfortunately, one of the few things they do respect is superior force applied by those of equal conviction.

The phrase “know thine enemy” seems to have evaporated in the political backscatter. Unfortunately, these days it is more politically correct to attempt to resolve problems with the carrot, ignoring the stick.

It is time to get serious and begin to deal with these issues in the only manner they can be dealt with. If we are truly at war, we need to fight like it.

The religion of peace.

I bet the families of those who died onboard the USS Cole really believe that one.

We are at such a disadvantage. Any of our enemies would not think twice about “self help”. Look at Putin. he has wrongly murdered his critics without so much as a twing of regret. However, we can’t utilize “self help” even in a just cause such as stomping out this Islamofascist who has murdered American sailors.

I agree with the pro-defense posts on this thread—Time to launch a group of Predators with some hell fire missiles tagged from some our nations finest men and women in uniform

Of course; another Sword of Gideon Op is more than approbiate for this wonderful and peaceful follower of islam.

Sounds like “wet work” for the SEALS is called for.
