If we, as a society, prosecute war with the same ruthlessness in which we won WW2, we could finish up the GWOT in about 6 months.

Yep, I’ve said it many times, until we can keep the whimpy politicians, the PC lefties, and the give appeasement a chance crowds (groups that are constantly tying our military’s hands behind its back) out of the damn war the GWOT will drag on and we will not be victorious!

We need to fight to win, overwhelming force and PC be damned! Time to show the murdering Islamo-facists American true military might and resolve…NOW!

But here’s an even more basic answer: The first 9-11 didn’t really unite us, so why would the second?

No, but it did wake a lot of people who were living their fat, happy lives without a clue as to how dangerous the rest of the world is. I was like that until my military service, when I had my exposure to Islam and the Quran that I realized what we were up against. Even afterward, I was a spoiled brat who didn’t expect that day. Watching the towers drop from Newark airport, I think 9/11 brought those of us who were sleeping through our lives back to consciousness.

Another shot in the pills might wake some more, but I doubt it. Here in rich, comfortable, spoiled America we have people who whinge about everything. Only in the industrialized world would you hear parents called “fascist” because little Johnny (who’s probably 25 and still called a “kid”) didn’t get a Wii and a PS3. Or a person call for another attack just so we could get some peace and quiet from the bickering nonentities we elect into office.

The only way to get that peace, domestically, is for people to stop coddling each other and start expecting better behavior from our leaders, media, and fellow citizens.

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention updated throughout the day…so check back often. This is a weekend edition so updates are as time and family permits….

If another attack doesn’t sufficiently unite America then perhaps the next one will. But ultimately, if some of the pessimists here are correct that additional attacks will never unite this country behind the cause of our common defense, then one or more of a few possibilities, as I see them, are likely to occur.

One: we get used to jihad and learn to accept it as an unfortunate part of our everyday lives— until our eventual demise.

Two: we institute martial law and reinstitute prosecutions for sedition to quell and marginalize the enemy within. Martial law may not be a necessary component.

Three: perhaps far too many in our country are irredeemable and a civil war will be necessary to destroy or eliminate the influence of the enemy within.

Four: military coup.

Can anybody think of any other possibilities?

My hope is in the years spanning 9/11 and some future attack that enough American’s will have come to learn about the motivations of our enemy so that we will be far MORE united than we were after 9/11.

The anti-jihad movement in Europe is much unlike the US. In Europe the discourse is dominated by extremists who use the “defenders of liberty” fig leaf to voice traditional xenophobia. Oddly enough, you’ll even find far right extremists who pretend to be defending Israel against Islamist terror just so they gain immunity against accusations of racism.

This accusation is baseless. Offer some evidence of what you’re spouting or be quiet.

No but the cold war between right and left probably heats up over who’s to blame.

But there’s one more reason – the nature of the Left (and after 9/11 we should feel confident including so-called “liberals” in that). The nature of the Left compels them to act so as to bring about failure and defeat for the US. This is not a choice for them, its like breathing.

The essential point we’ve learned about the Left since the GWOT began is that even given an evil enemy seemingly tailor-made for the Left’s hatred – fascist, woman-oppressing, gay-killing, theocratic fundamentalist, and with a nazi-inspired attitude toward Jews – the Left nonetheless choses to side against America. This is something so deeply sick, that no new attack could possibly change it, and in fact will only augment the sickness. The proof that the Left abhors being united with us is so overwhelming that I can’t see how anyone could seriously propose it anymore.

Which would mean a general Western realization that Islam breeds terror.

It is the sheeps’ eyeballs and hummus (bread and butter) of Mohammadism.

But the homegrown Quisling classes will work hard to prevent that from becoming common knowledge.

Becuase they sympathize with those who hate America.

Since they hate it themselves.

There will be unity enough, though, after the next attack, to destroy the attackers.

However much the self-loathing Whinocracy objects.

As far as I know, for nearly two full terms, President Bush has had the benefit of his own unitary command over the American military. He’s made piddling use of what he has. I wish he thought he were going to get a crown in Heaven for victories in war, instead of for merely being nice.

He’s definitely been the worst president in my lifetime. I didn’t think he could outdo Clinton, but even Clinton did a thing or two about the borders and didn’t try to foist the shamnesty on us. Bush still thinks Islam is a religion of peace. He’s read a lot of Mark Steyn’s stuff also, like “America Alone”.

So now let’s ask the question again. Would we be united amongst ourselves? Yes, because one person will have united us by prescribing the only action he/she could take. Making us all Americans under threat of extinction, just because some idiot with a rag on his head said 300 million of us are infidels and deserve Death.

Anything less than this scenario might occur if nuclear weapons are not the method of attack. Once the nukes fly, the Muslim world dies.

Discuss amongst yourselves. Points for noble and self sacrificing answers given, but not enough to save your life if you are an American in a target city.

Remember, a Coward dies a thousand Deaths, the Valiant die but once.

This is a cynical response, but the “Americans” don’t even occupy the major cities. They’re filled with illegal immigrants, H1-B visa holders, their children, and their liberal neighbors. The only people who will go to war are midwesterners and people from various other patriotic enclaves in the U.S. like Orange County, CA.

I don’t even think a nuclear attack is enough to turn our politicians minds around. In the end, this is a demographic battle. Every European blogger I read says that Europe is lost, and most who realize it are trying to bail. The die-hard libs there will simply recite the shahada when the time comes. The American cities largely aren’t even American anymore. Our politicians have ethnically cleansed them of Americans. What’s left are ‘newcomers’. Maybe I’m just speaking from my experience in Los Angeles, but most of the major American cities are probably like this. As Peter Brimelow said, we live in an alien nation.

it doesn’t help that Iran, Syria, and the like are sponsoring yet more terrorism in order to get their hands on Iraq and the subsequent bloodbath that will entail.

100% agreed.

The Left will favor the enemies of the nationalist state of the United States as long as they live. In my opinion the likes of the ACLU and the editorial staff of the Wall Street Journal identify more as world citizens than patriots of the United States of America. The more American nationalist interests are undermined, the closer to one world government they can push us, the happier they are. They care nothing for the safety and security of the nation of the United States except as it pertains to their own political objectives.

When, when, when will the majority of the electorate recognize this state of affairs? It is my guess that we, the citizens and patriots of the United States who identify with as nationalists, will be more united when recognize the Ferengi in the midst of those on the right are more interested in their own financial interests, identify them, and root them out. This should start with Bush.

1/6 th of Americans would believe that GWB did it himself with the help of Cheney Haliburton’s terrorist brigade. 1/6th would believe the JOOOS did it. That’s 1/3 so far.

1/4 of ‘Americans’ would be willing to accept that Al Qaeda or something similar did it but only because it is our fault for not respecting them and giving them enough foreign aid.

Another 1/3…. The REAL, rational Patriotic, tough and cognizant Americans would unite from our minor divisions and diversions…

And the remaining fraction will merely be upset that, for some unknown reason, the beer cooler and chips section at the store hasn’t been restocked recently and that the news bulletins are interrupting the American Idol reruns and whatever professional sports event is scheduled.

There is really only one thing that I can see might actually unite America as a whole: If Mexico officially declared war on us, armed their streaming northbound hordes with small arms and portable crew served weapons, all refusing to do any yard work.

Even in the US there were Nazi Sympathizers.

And in the US today there are terrorist sympathizers.

We cant unite with those that would work actively to bring down this country. Heck Chaomski is vocally anti American and has worked with our enemies to attack the US.

Bush said your either with us or against us. Some have made the choice to be on the other side even if its just vocal support

Keeping in mind I fully support our efforts in Iraq, in my opinion this nation was divided when folks realized Bush had no long term plan to execute the Iraq war. True, the leftists have fully and shamelessly exploited the incompetence, but it was the incompetence and the shape-shifting reasoning that really tore this nation in two.

Yes, but let’s keep in mind that Bush’s incompetence was because he wanted to be a nice guy, a moral guy. He thought if you give the muslims a chance they won’t act like savages. The lesson from Iraq is niceness won’t work.

I think the problem isn’t that “Bush had no long term plan in the Iraq war.” The problem is that we assumed that once the Iraqis got out from under Saddam’s thumb, they would jump in with both feet into the whole democracy and freedom thing. Extremely naive, considering the LOONNGGG memories of Sunnis and Shiites, etc. Of course, it doesn’t help that Iran, Syria, and the like are sponsoring yet more terrorism in order to get their hands on Iraq and the subsequent bloodbath that will entail.
