One of the first things we could do is become energy independent and watch as they return to poverty. Then the Chinese and Russian could fight for oil rights. The 2nd thing we could do is to pull out all of our troops and rebuild our nation’s military might. If the President via Executive Privilege grants citizenship to 34 million illegal immigrants, this I believe will be the tipping point. There has been an all-out assault on the free market. The President and Erick Holder both believe the free market would not exist without the government providing the infrastructure. Every other socialist, elite, communist and Marxists government has never worked. Once he destroys the free market it's over. There will not even be another country to run to, because we have made them all safe for decades. The tipping point will be the 34 million illegals granted citizenship. He has deliberately cut off our ability to fight anywhere. The next move will be Hillary in the White House, Bill President of the United Nations. Sorry for the rant, but we have to change our focus as we are involved in a religious war and live under a current administration that doesn't allow for us to even say "In God We Trust"

. ...Little bit back when Jack passed on info about highly skilled/experienced folk needed re helping the Kurds... I made some comments. I pointed out the difference between living and fighting with the Kurds (who are *very* protective of Americans in their midst) and living and fighting among some of the "more moderate" factions in Syria. . ...I said that one of the dangers in moving among those factions is that, unlike the Kurds... you are not a valued asset (worse if you are not fluent in their language...) I indicated that it was possible that the group that you were with... while not being even slightly hostile to the U.S.... might decide to trade you to a group that is. . ...There might be members of the group that like you, that would prefer that you not be traded. But depending on the group, either militant leaders or tribal elders get to make that call. Their group is everything... you are almost nothing. If they trade you for a truck load of RPG's, how many of their fighters might survive that otherwise would not? . ...If you were an American military adviser formally attached to them, then unless they intended to declare war on the U.S., it would be "ill advised" to have you turn up intact in hostile hands... but if you are "free lance" or a journalist... you are likely to be just another commodity. . ...Today I heard that one of the journalists beheaded had been traded to ISIS by a (relatively) "moderate" Syrian group. Figure that I heard was $ 75,000. . -YP-
We have operations in both Chennai, India and Manila. This news today piqued my interest specifically because of those operations. People really need to pull the blinders off and understand Islamic figures such as the Grand Mufti Haj Amin Al Husseini's vision. http://news.yahoo.com/syria-iraq-islamic-state-makes-inroads-south-asia-070115114.html
