Iran and Armageddon

Here's your global warming

Israel's loss to Hezbollah demonstrates, if nothing else, the critical importance of having the right leadership. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert played the role of Bill Clinton in this one, thinking he could get away with using air power alone, until it was too late. He was weak. His ruling party was weak. My visceral feeling about what this failure means to Israel is its total destruction, and soon. Iran will get their nukes, and Iran will use them against Israel (and the United States), because they are, by any Western standard, insane. Armageddon to Iranian Shiites is the goal, not a fear.

A reader complained yesterday that he could no longer enjoy this blog because there was too much talk of violence. We are in a death struggle with Islamocrazies. One guy will be left standing. You kill these brutal monsters, or they will kill you. I heard the question asked this morning, ''Can we win an Eastern war using Western values?'' The answer was, ''Absolutely not.''

Anonymous said...: "Islamocrazies"? A bit harsh, don't you think, Rodge? Even our President saw the error of his ways when he downgraded the "Islamofachists" (a term that he used for the first time during the London airline scare) to "an Extremist group of folks"...the term he used yesterday. Do I sense pressure from the House of Saud? Cousin Rick; 8/16/06, 11:13 AM

Anonymous said...: And regardless of all the hand-wringing and breathing into a brown paper bag over the horrors of violence, it's always been a fact of life, and it may not be avoidable. In this case, the intentions of the oppostion are crystal-clear. In this, at any rate, they don't even bother to lie. They intend to destroy us, and have demonstrated the willingness to use the most indiscriminate and barbaric means to that end. The more time that passes, too, the more our choices narrow.

Remember the fires in the streets of Paris? Fox initially reported the wrong-doers as "Muslim extremists"... reportedly, it took one call from the House of Saud to Murdoch, and they became "Disenfranchised Youths"....anyway, on another topic: I woke up to the local news here in the land of Granola and Birkenstocks (S.F. Bay Area), and had to wonder why so much energy is being expended to find the leak in the Barry Bonds steroid investigation by a Grand Jury, yet no action is being taken to find the leak of vital national security secrets to the New York Times......?

Anonymous said...: yep...

i enjoyed this post greatly.
it is true, some very serious concerns.

seems Israel was not up to snuff in this latest effort, (have the liberal weenies actually been cutting their military funding?)

and yet, Israel still kicked some serious Hizballah ass: did you see the dust remaining of Hizballah HQ?

it will be fun, to see the Suadis deal with a NUKE IRAN...

LOL

But still my chips remain with this fine Country...
in NOV. 2004, with the most biased, vile campaign against a Republican, the Nation dumped the Democrat BS...

Also, i will never underestimate Israel...; 8/16/06, 1:14 PM

Excellent, and Thank God, Thank God, Thank God! We are in such serious trouble and few people can accept it yet. Statements with this kind of grim recognition, well, this is a beginning.

We must understand that the Geneva Rules, for the military of nations fighting the military of other nations in the European theatre, that came out of WW II, are now obsolete. We are facing an enemy that is smart, wise, absolutely committed, and filled with resolve and righteousness. They have employed ju-jitsu against us to negate our strength. To this point they have done so perfectly. As long as we continue to play by our own obsolete rules, they will defeat us. They are smarter, they are wiser, they are more resolute and committed. We are more moral. What will the result of THAT be?

We've got to set ourselves new rules of engagement. Can anyone please answer me: If you must fight a terrorist or insurgency force that is hidden within its own supportive population, WHAT are the strategy and tactics that will defeat them? I have searched conservative and liberal sites for days now, and I cannot find a single answer that is plausible. In fact, the only answers I can find are liberal answers, and they involve talk, discussion, and negotiation, with no other alternative.

Please! We are in serious trouble here! We have no strategy, we have no tactics, we have NOTHING.; 8/16/06, 11:51 PM

Anonymous said...: I guess this will be my last comment here, at least for a while.

I didn't mean to imply that I thought that Roger was serious, although one could certainly get that impression from what I said. I have no idea what Roger thinks. Roger, obviously, has the right to say or think what he wants. I would never question that.

I didn't use the word "offended" because that is something leftists say when they want to argue that an opinion is simply illegitimate without making a substantive argument.

My comment was, honestly, one made in frustration. I suppose I disagree with many of you as to what where the line is to "acceptable" humor (I am not talking legally of course). I understand there is a great deal of subjectivity to where that line would be.

I'm sorry for causing all of this trouble.
