Insurgent Propaganda

Check out some of the posters that insurgents within Iraq are positing on Islamic Jihadists websites. Along with a vast array of posters are instructions on how to post them. The posters pictured here are the tamest of the bunch. Several show bloody Americans some of whom are already dead. The posters are an attempt to sway America public opinion and scare the public into forcing the US government to take more action in bringing the troops home.

Now we have evidence that the enemy wants the US gone. The insurgents are telling us what they want and some here in the US and on capital hill are playing into their hand. A pullout of Iraq will embolden the enemy and they will continue to spread their evil hatred for America and the West to the rest of the world.

Our only hope is the absolute destruction of the enemy. It will be a long hard road but one that must be traveled.

July 4th Combat Reenlistment

On July 4th, 588 soldiers, mostly on their 2nd and 3rd tours, reenlisted in a Multi-National Force-Iraq Reenlistment, Naturalization and Independence Day Ceremony held at Camp Victory in Baghdad. Additionally, 161 soldiers were sworn in as American citizens. Sadly, two soldiers, Sgt. Kimel Watt and Spc. Farid Elazzouzi were killed in combat action just days before they were to be naturalized as citizens.

General Petraeus had the following to say, "“Sgt. Kimel Watt and Spc. Farid Elazzouzi, who would have been in your ranks here this morning, were lost in recent combat action, giving the last full measure of devotion for a country that would have become fully theirs today”, “words can not express the admiration I feel for these two men or the sadness I feel for our nation’s loss and their families’ sacrifice”.

In this time of trial, it is so re-assuring to know that these soldiers know what they are fighting for...for you and me. Even more so, the soldiers who were naturalized, did so only after they have made a solemn pledge to defend America against it's enemies. For those two soldiers who gave their life for America when not even citizens yet, speaks to the kind of people who founded America and made it great. God bless them all.

Islamic Violence Grips Pakistan

Pakistani security forces are stepping up efforts in an attempt to resolve a three day old siege at the Red Mosque in Islamabad by Taliban-style Islamic radicals. Forces blew holes in the Mosque walls and shot a tear gas volley in an attempt to scare or better motivate the terrorists to surrender. Reporters reported hearing a fierce gun-battle within the Mosque. The Mosque and attached school houses 850 students, mostly women and children. Released hostages report that the women and children are being used as human Shields to deter an attack.

The terrorists are trying to infiltrate a Taliban-style regime from rural Afghanistan tribes into urban Pakistan. The Lal Masjid movement as it is known, is currently upset about the destruction of illegally built Mosques in the region. Their current activities have resulted in the death of at least 17 people thus far. Recent terrorist acts perpetrated by the group include kidnapping a prostitute and attacking and vandalizing stores selling Western products. The group demands the enforcement of Islamic law.

This is just another example of the lengths the enemy will go to to ensure that Islamic law is the law of the land, including the law of America's land. They are using their own women and children as Shields to protect themselves as they spew their venomous ideological and religious fanaticism. They preach that their loving god Allah teaches peace yet they murder anyone who simply disagrees with them. For the Islamic extremists the only person that can ever truly be just and accepted is the Muslim man.

The Warrior

“I am a soldier, I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight.”

“In case of doubt, attack.”

"May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't.”

"Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.”

"War is the supreme test of man in which he rises to heights never approached in any other activity."

"A man must know his destiny… if he does not recognize it, then he is lost. By this I mean, once, twice, or at the very most, three times, fate will reach out and tap a man on the shoulder… if he has the imagination, he will turn around and fate will point out to him what fork in the road he should take, if he has the guts, he will take it."

"...many, who should know better, think that wars can be decided by soulless machines, rather than by the blood and anguish of brave men."

Thoughts from General George S. Patton Jr.

The Awakening

The cage has been rattled and the giant has awoken; he is here now and ready to wreak destruction upon it's enemies. America is one of many enemies of the Islamic Jihad. Striking statistics and information is being leaked about just how deep we are all entrenched in this war. A pull-out of Iraq or anywhere else will not solve this problem. The enemy has resigned themselves to infinite war with you and me and will not stop until we are dead.

Statistics from the UK, whose Islamic immigration is largely out of control, shows exactly what we are up against. Over 2,000 Islamic terrorist are under surveillance and up to 30 terror plots are in the active planning or commission stages. This is just in the UK, lets not forget our domestically grown and educated terrorists here in the US. These are citizen terrorists that preach against their fellow citizens and instigate the overthrow of their own government, which they believe is unjust because it does not subscribe to Sharia law.

Tough times are ahead. We will again find ourselves under attack in the near future. However, we must resign ourselves that no matter the costs, victory is our only option. Victory is our only hope.

Our War Of Independence

From Gary Bauer's End of Day report:

In recent weeks I have kept up a regular stream of reports on the struggles
confronting our country. As the 231st birthday of America dawns tomorrow,
let us set aside these concerns for a moment.

Instead, let us look back to that day in 1776 when 56 men signed the
Declaration of Independence and birthed a nation that was to become a
"shining city on a hill," the guardian of liberty and the leader of the
free world.

They were merchants, farmers, clergymen and lawyers, men who stood to lose
their wealth and standing in society for signing their names to that
document we cherish today. All their lives they had served as loyal
subjects of the king. They were all educated men who understood what they
were undertaking by rebelling against the British Empire.

While honoring their courage, Americans often forget the sufferings of the
Founding Fathers. For the most part, the War for Independence destroyed
the lives of these men.

John Hart, signer from New Jersey, had to flee the deathbed of his wife,
leaving his 13 children to disperse into hiding from the British, who
vandalized his farm. Returning a year later to find that his wife had
passed away, his children were missing, and his livelihood had been
destroyed. He died within weeks, dejected and alone.

Carter Braxton, a signer from Virginia, had his fortunes destroyed by the
British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died
impoverished.

At the Battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., signer from Virginia,
encouraged General Washington to fire on Nelson’s own house, which was
being used as a headquarters by General Cornwallis. Without a home, and
having lost his fortunes in the war, Nelson died bankrupt.

These are just a few examples of the sacrifices these men made for the
United States when it was little more than an idea. Countless more over
the history of this nation have given their lives for the cause of liberty.
And today in Iraq and Afghanistan, Americans are sacrificing again for our
nation.

As we celebrate and enjoy our freedoms on this Independence Day, let us not
forget the daily sacrifices of our men and women overseas. Let us
rededicate our hearts to our country and "with a firm reliance on the
protection of Divine Providence…mutually pledge to each other our Lives,
our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."

In closing, I would like to offer a brief word of encouragement to our
pastors who are on the front lines of the culture war. John Peter Gabriel
Muhlenberg is a lesser-known hero of the War for Independence. He was a
pastor and a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses. In 1775, a year
before the United States of America was to be born, he preached a sermon on
Ecclesiastes 3:1 "For everything there is a season and a time for every
matter under heaven." Pastor Muhlenberg closed his sermon with, "In the
language of Holy Writ, there is a time for all things. There is a time to
preach and a time to fight. And now is the time to fight." And
temporarily shedding his clerical robes, he revealed to the congregation
that he was wearing the uniform of an officer in the Continental Army.

VBIED Strikes Yemen Temple

Everyone has heard of the terror plots and attacks across the UK over the weekend, ending in the successful, yet poorly planned, attack at Glasgow International Airport. What many have not heard about is the suicide car bomber that attacked an ancient temple in Yemen, killing 8 people, mostly tourist. The attack has been attributed to Al-Qaeda who has a strong presence in the area. Al-Qaeda was blamed for the bombing of the US Cole in 2000, which killed 17 US sailors and the attack on a French oil tanker two years later that killed one worker.

This is evidence that Islamic extremism seeks the undeniable destruction of all people who do not subscribe to Sharia law or Allah as their god. They will attack anywhere at any time, they will attack all Western nations and even kill their own to carry out the attack. They will continually strike until they finally succeed and they will even attack holy sites which they claim are safe ground. The enemy has proven their intentions time and again. When will people realize that when Muslims speak of peace, they do not include Christians, westerners or anyone else in ideal world. They will never seek or accept peace with us.
