T...<i>Posted by: Raf from Florida <br />Oct 29, 08:28 AM<br /><br />To say that I am a military hawk would be an understatement. I spent 27 years in the military, the last five of those in strategic planning; (in the middle east). I know one thing for certain, WE CANNOT WIN IN THE MIDDLE EAST. Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran CANNOT be tamed by the western world. They can be eliminated, but NEVER controlled. We have tried hard in Iraq and Afghanistan and poured hundreds of billions into Pakistan( and the greater middle east), eventually it will be all for naught. <br /><br />I know ALL the arguments for controlling al Qaeda and the Taliban. I know, intimately, the danger of Iran and Pakistan if the radicals prevail. I also know that the world is screwed and there is nothing we can do about it. If we had a stalwart, moral and experienced CINC we could strategically withdraw from the middle east and leave behind an indelible marker: if any of you screw with us or our allies (particularly Israel), we will annihilate you. If we have evidence of your misbehavior, you will cease to exist as a population. A credible threat by a credible American president would do the trick. I have no doubt a message like that is the ONLY thing they really understand. They would squabble among themselves and live or die of their own volition. <br /><br />The reason we are screwed is because we cannot win, militarily, in the middle east and we cannot impart a credible threat if we leave. Can ANYONE believe, in the furthest stretch of credulity, that anyone in the world would take Obama seriously about anything; least of all a threat of force against a Muslim country? Anyway you look at it, the world is screwed.</i><br /><br />All right, this American guy says one thing, the Canadian general another.<br /><br />?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-76887515203547633702009-10-30T00:54:01.352-04:002009-10-30T00:54:01.352-04:0091' and sunny here tomorrow, Bob.

Barack Obama Sr. was reportedly a polygamist who had at least four wives, including Ruth Nidesand, who he met at Harvard and became his wife after she followed him back to Kenya.</i><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=114359" rel="nofollow">Obama Nativity</a>samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856051164644278989noreply@blogger.com
