"Bush May Have Been Feckless, But Obama Is Mad"..................from Dan Friedman

General William Tecumseh Sherman burned the city of Atlanta in 1864. He warned: "I fear the world will jump to the wrong conclusion that because I am in Atlanta the work is done. Far from it. We must kill three hundred thousand I have told you of so often, and the further they run the harder for us to get them." Add a zero to calibrate the problem in the Levant today. War in the Middle East is less a strategic than a demographic phenomenon, whose resolution will come with the exhaustion of the pool of potential fighters.

Wow, this Asia Times article is rather cynical to say the least "The way to win such a war is by attrition, that is, by feeding into the meat-grinder a quarter to a third of the enemy's available manpower." I suspect most people had hoped humanity had progressed beyond such war of attrition tactics

Read churchill's quotes on Islam. He was clear that the only thing that protected us was our technology. Now they have it, and they breed. War is coming and it will end with Nuclear weapons.
