The Muslim Brotherhood in America:
Part I
Understanding the Threat

It is now March of 2011. That jihadi attack on the United States is over nine years behind us. The declaration of a global jihad from Iran in 1979 is over 30 years in our rear view mirror. The national security apparatus of the United States has spent hundreds of billions of dollars to “make America safer,” yet we still have not defined our enemy – or even tried. There is no place in the national security structure which has objectively evaluated the threat doctrine of our enemy, and then created a strategic plan for victory for the United States – per U.S. warfighting doctrine. This lack of strategic understanding of the nature of the threat we face is not only costing us lives on the battlefield in wars with no realistically stated objectives, but so long as we drift aimlessly, we cannot win and we allow the enemy to move our boat as he sees fit. That, is the enemy’s strategy. And he is executing with great success.

Does anyone wonder how it is the U.S. military is crushing the enemy on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan (and elsewhere) daily, yet not winning the strategic war?

The United States continues to view the wars (the establishment sees this as several conflicts, not as one global conflict) as kinetic engagements where guns, air power, drones, bombs, and other weapon of war are brought to bear on “Al Qaeda terrorists” and others with whom we are engaged on the many battlefields around the world. At the FBI, the focus is on preventing the next attack. While this is important, “attacks” are not the main focus of effort for this enemy. Local and State Police are also focused on preventing attacks, the physical security of office buildings, critical infrastructure, and the safety of important public figures. When the subject of an investigation is found NOT to be involved in a plot to cause “violence” that case is closed and the investigator goes on to the next one in the stack. This is where we are losing the war. While preventing a school bus bombing or the take-over of a bank by Jihadis should be taken seriously by our law enforcement officers, from the enemy’s perspective, these are tactical engagements, not strategic.

Every brand new intelligence officer in the United States military knows that when the United States evaluates a threat, our doctrine drives us to begin our process with WHO the enemy says he is and with WHAT the enemy says are HIS reasons for acting. That is where the U.S. analytical process begins – per our own doctrine. If we had done this after 9/11, we would not have so much confusion about the enemy we are engaging.

Obama Lies----Soldiers Die

Assault on the Military
In recent days, Team Obama's hostility towards the uniformed services has been increasingly in evidence.

Consider the following, illustrative examples:

Dissing his commanders:

Last spring, President Obama replaced the commander of U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan with a man skilled at waging counter-insurgency operations: Gen. Stanley McChrystal. He did so in pointed rebuke to what amounted to a "counterterrorism" campaign waged by the Bush administration – trying to kill or neutralize key Taliban and al Qaeda operatives without having sufficient forces to clear or hold territory and protect the affected population.

At the time, President reinforced his contention that Afghanistan was a "necessary" war. He assigned additional forces to the theater so as to enable his new commander to engage in the sort of operations required to win the "hearts and minds" of the Afghan people and defeat the insurgency.

But that was then, this is now. Gen. McChrystal and his bosses, Central Command's Gen. David Petraeus and Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen, believe that as many as 60,000 additional troops are needed to avert failure in Afghanistan. But
President Obama and his key advisors, notably White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and campaign strategist David Axelrod, have evidently concluded that the public – or at least the Democrats' base – has no stomach for such a build-up.

So the theater commander who thought Mr. Obama meant what he said five months ago has been left hanging in the wind. His request has become a political football in Washington and the President's partisans have reviled the general for making known his professional assessment of the situation. Morale in Afghanistan has reportedly plummeted, compounded by Washington's growing incoherence about the threat posed by the Taliban – who wants to be the last guy killed fighting an enemy it turns out we are happy to have run the place? – and by restrictive rules of engagement that are getting troops killed unnecessarily.

Hey Hey Ho Ho Napolitano Has To Go

This woman has no business running the Sanitation Department, much less the department tasked with keeping America safe.

I have some advice for the Secratary: stop worrying about veterans and real Americans being terrorists and worry about the real terrorists. The ones who actually SAY they want to destroy America and are right now plotting ways to carry that out.

Start acknowledging they actually exist and call them what they are: TERRORISTS!!!!
Call what they do TERRORISM, not man made disasters.

ACTION ALERT!!!!!

Our good friends over at Foundation for Defense of Democracies have a favor to ask. They'd like everyone to call the senators listed below and express their support for the amendment by John Kyl and Joe Lieberman. The folks over at FDD are patriots and work very hard to keep our liberties and freedoms intact.

(and my contact is a smokin' hot baby doll. Yeah yeah...its a Marine thing. It's not my fault all conservative women are smokin' hot and incredibly intelligent.)

From my contact:

Every single day Iran inches closer to obtaining the world’s most dangerous and deadly weapon known to man – a nuclear weapon. They must be stopped!

We already know the Iranian regime funds and trains terrorists who are killing American soldiers and Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan. The President of Iran has also threatened to wipe the United States and Israel off the map – calling us the “Great Satan.” These people simply cannot be trusted with nuclear capabilities!

Senators Jon Kyl (R-AZ) and Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) have sponsored an amendment to President Obama’s budget that will hit Iran where it hurts – by making sure your U.S. tax dollars DO NOT support companies that do business with Iran’s energy sector. This may be the last peaceful way to stop Iran from getting the bomb.

The Senate will vote on this amendment TODAY and we need you to do your part to pressure Congress by telling them to vote in favor of the Kyl/ Lieberman Amendment #932.

Please take less than 5 minutes to call the Senators listed! Tell them to stop Iran’s nuclear bomb by voting in favor of Amendment 932!

Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) -- 202-224-5623

Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND) -- 202-224-2043

Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) – 202-224-3224

Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) – 202-224-2621

Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) – 202-224-6542

Thank you for taking action today!!
