Hamas agrees to cease-fire, declares victory

So, in the interest of a bet, you’re hoping that Barack Obama advances the cause of Islam, which will, invariably, result in American soldiers such as myself and my brothers in arms, and citizens, such as my wife and child, being killed, as genuine Jihadists hope and pray for?

“hoping”?

NEVER!

Will he?

Undoubtedly yes, based upon his history, background, upbringing, inculcation, etc.!

Sad, but undoubtedly true!

Look, I just visited your website, which is why you post, to get people to visit your site.

Your an Active Duty Army man.

Thank you for your service.

I too was Active Duty, in the Corps.

I too, have actually devoted 30 years of my life to fighting the Jihadies.

I know more about them, and have forgotten more about them, than almost any person alive.

I identified them as a threat 30 years ago.

I was the very FIRST analyst, outside of a few select members of Academia, to identify what “Taqiyah” was, and to alert the IC about it.

I was the very first person, to identify, correctly, the Al Qaeda movement as “Qutbiyyah”, which they are.

Those are terms you need to Google, and Read up on, and understand.

I know this problem like almost no other, and aside from comments on Blogs on occasion, I do not see any publicity, nor do I choose to make my identity public, because I’m not in this for making money, nor bringing noteriety nor fame to myself.

My only concern, is America, and it’s future.

I wore the uniform of this country, and served in Iraq and Turkey and Bahrain and Oman and Syria and Egypt and Morocco and Spain and Norway and Japan and Korea, etc.

And I’ll stack my career, up against yours, any day!

I KNOW the Jihadi threat, so don’t presume to lecture me on the subject!

I know what I’m doing, and saying.

And once again, thank you for your service, even if you are misguided!

one other point, that I find curious.

You’re Active Duty Military, why are you running a Blog, with Political Commentary?

When I was active Duty, it was my duty, as a Marine, to support the Commander in Chief, regardless of my personal political views, which is something I did from Carter to Clinton, even though, personally, I just happened to disagree vehemently with those two gentlemen!

I never made political comments, publically, nor privately for that matter, about those gentlemen.

IF I was Active Duty right now, it would be the same, despite my obvious sincere dislike, and distrust of Mr. Obama.

But that is the way it has to be, for people in the Military.

I am not now in any way associated with the US Government, nor the US Military, none whatsoever.

So, as a Private Citizen, I can, and will take full advantage of my First Amendment Rights.

You on the other hand, are still wearing the Uniform of a US Army Soldier.

Why, pray tell, are you making Political Commentary?

I find that very illustrative!

Look at all the lies they tell, and that their people believe, all the time.

It’s called “Taqiyah”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taqiyya

And don’t let the Sunnis fool you, they use it just like the Shias, while blaming and insulting the Shias for using it.

I’ve lived with, studied, and worked with Arabs and Muslims for 30 years, they’re taught from birth to lie, and that it is okay to lie, especially to non-Muslims.

Freedom to voice my opinions are within my rights as a service member, provided I do not claim to speak for the Army as a whole, or endorse a particular person while in uniform.

Actually, you gave up some of your “rights” when you raised your right hand, and joined the US Military.

Your “rights” are now modified, by the UCMJ, such as the prohibitions against Sodomy, and Adultery, limitations that most Americans no longer are subject too!

Additionally, your Freedom of Speech is limited by the inability to say negative or disrespectful things towards your Seniors in the Military and Civilian Chains of Command!

If you don’t know that, then I’m must plainly amazed by what they teach the new generation.

Your limitations on your Right of Free Speech, include making derogatory remarks about US Senators, US Representatives, Officials in the US Govt, etc.

Frankly, since you are Legally subject to the UCMJ, I find it amazing that you attempt to run a Political-oriented Blog.

It’s not something I would have done, when I was on Active Duty, if you can walk the tightrope, power to you, but I would have never even attempted it.

I wish you luck with it, but I think it is foolish.

Additionally, you serve in a Chain of Command, that means there are people senior to you, and subordinate to you.

What type of example are you setting for those subordinate to you, by airing your personal Political views, and what type of “ammunition”, are you putting on display, for those senior to you, who may happen to personally disagree with your opinions?

Not very wise, frankly, in either case.

Again, it’s your career, do as you wish; me, if I was in your place, I’d not attempt to be so clever and claim you are asserting your Right to Free Speech, when you are clearly goverened by the UCMJ, something which you appear to be either ignorant of, or more foolishly, are just plain willing to ignore.

However, it’s your career, and your life, live it as you wish.

It’s not something I would have done, nor is it something I condone for Active Duty Service Members.

When on Active Duty, we are charged to Serve and Defend the Constitution of the United States, and to obey the orders of those appointed above us.

When I was Active Duty, I took the charge so seriously, I even refused to Vote, so that nothing would color my perceptions of those of a different party who served above me, or below me.

It was an example that many Marine Officers followed as well.
