Micro - we have a presence in Saudi Arabia as an 'invited guest' and 'sometime guardian' there.
Why - on both counts ?
Ask yourself - In what ways does United States Military presence increase the National Security of the United States ?
Then ask yourself - In what ways does this presence decrease the National Security of the United States ?
Now - Ask yourself - Why should we be the guardians of Saudi Arabia ?
If you can look me in the eye and honestly give me an answer to those three questions that makes sense, that outweighs the FREEDOMS that our soldiers SURRENDER TO A FOREIGN POWER while 'stationed' in these islamo-fascist regimes, then we can have a discussion about 'understanding the very real threat of Islam.'
Yes - I have lambasted Ron Paul in the past for his statements. Due and I have been round and round about them - but to state that Ron Paul does NOT 'understand the very real threat of Islam' - that is a statement that I can't go along with.
The REAL question that must be addressed is this:
Are we, with our U.S. Military Forces, doing ANYTHING that honestly addresses that threat at its source - or do the things we are doing actually aid and abet the enemy - put a window dressing of providing more security - while actually being nothing but a carnage spewing, young man killing smoke screen that hides the ways that the 'very real threat of Islam' is accomplishing their aims and objectives ?
Gauntlet down. Words intentionally inflammatory - out of the heat of anger - sometimes we can 'refine' a bit of truth and clarity.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good ...
