		<description>There is a reason why the military and intelligence communities do not have adequate numbers of Arabic and Farsi interpreters. When I was in the Army in the late 80s, the reenlistment bonus for Arabic, Farsi, Chinese, and Russian linguists was $20,000+ for a 5 year reenlistment. Under the Clinton administration that bonus was cut to $5,000. With the market value of a skilled linguist being twice their military salary, it made no sense for experienced linguists to stay in the military. When the private sector pays that much more, and you have a family to feed, it only makes sense to move on to a private corporation.</description>

		<description>Hi BonBon...didn&#039;t mean to steal your thunder. But once again your opinion is logical, reasonable, and based on the facts. If more Americans were capable of using that to reach their own conclusions the Democrites/Leftists would be a very small minority party. America would be as great as it was in the 1950s and 3/4 of the world would enjoy Liberty.

Instead we now have to fight both our external enemies and the fifth columnists, boll weevils, infiltrators, and degenerates.</description>

		<description>&quot;And with good old fashioned LAW ENFORCEMENT we are breaking up terror cells before they can do any damage. We need to continue doing this, and we need to get better at it.&quot;

And if it was left up to the Democrites and the ACLU, LE would be so handicapped, so limited, so restricted they wouldn&#039;t be able to do anything but take a report after each terrorist attack.

It is so phony, disingenuous and outrageous when you hear Democrites like HilLiary say the above when all along, for 30 years plus, they have been doing everything they can to destroy the ability of LE and Intel agencies to do their job.</description>

		<description>SFL, also, this is NOT A LAW ENFORCEMENT ISSUE you DOLT!  You SFB.  This is a war, not criminal action.  AND BY THE WAY FOOL, Cops do not prevent violent crimes.  They only mop up after the people are dead, and by court rulings, cops don&#039;t even have to answer 911 calls.</description>

		<description>SFL, You Are just a closet hater of the JOOOOSSSSS.  Israel has a right to exist where it is.  There never was a Palestine.  If anything there was a Jordan, and Jordan doesn&#039;t want these bums back.

SFL, your house needs to be bulldozed with you in it.</description>

		<description>MATTHEWS: Has our invasion and occupation of Iraq helped our relations with that part of the world or hurt them? 

BERG: As far as I can tell, it&#039;s helped them. I mean, I&#039;ve met very few Saudis that have anything nice to say about any Iraqis, I haven&#039;t met anyone -- there&#039;s so much competition in the Middle East, the Kuwaitis don&#039;t like the Iraqis, the Saudis don&#039;t like the Iraqis, the UAE doesn&#039;t like anyone. Everyone hates Iran. It was hard to find any sort of common alliance. 

MATTHEWS: So even though we&#039;re in there pushing the Shia majority to win because we obviously support democracy, the group with the most people wins all the time, we have supported the Shia overthrow of the Sunnis basically since 2003. The Shias are not too popular among the royal family in Saudi. I just wonder why they would be happy to have a Shia-ruled Iraq next to a Shia-ruled Iran now threatening them. 

BERG: I don&#039;t know. I mean, I really don&#039;t know. People ask me coming back from the Middle East what I observed and what my take away is in terms of what can help. And the only thing that I consistently go back to is, by far the country in the Middle East that seems to be functioning as peacefully as possible is the UAE. Its cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi where capitalism has taken ahold. There&#039;s such investment and growth going on in those cities, that they police themselves. I had dinner with Sheik Mohammed of Dubai and asked him why there had been no attacks in his country, a country which has alcohol, a country were women are allowed to wear bikinis, and where there&#039;s a much more western lifestyle. He pointed to the Britsh hotel and said we just won&#039;t let it happen. And I think that the bottom line for me unless some sort of capitalistic growth occurs, you&#039;re going to continue to see this chaos.

Wha-t-t? Not only don&#039;t all Saudis hate us, but the Iraq war has helped our relations in the region and the answer to peace in the Middle East is capitalism?

		<description>&quot;SFL:you never did answer my question on what you think we should do in the face of terrorist attacks therefore I can only assume by the other things you write that you are content to fight them here on our shores?&quot;

-----------------------

We are already fighting them on our shores.

And with good old fashioned LAW ENFORCEMENT we are breaking up terror cells before they can do any damage.  We need to continue doing this, and we need to get better at it.

Most importantly, of course, we need to remove from the table one of the terrorists main points of contention and incitement of anger:  the Israeli Occupation of Palestine.

If a political solution can be reached that works for both sides, then that will be a HUGE step forward in getting this jihadi problem better under control.

Another good start to fighting islamic terrorism would be to avoid invading and occupying any Muslim country.  Example: Iran.

Our Law Enforcement agencies need more Arabic speakers!!!! 

We need to foster better relations with Muslim communities and their religous leaders so we can help them nip radical fundamentalism in the bud on the local level, and cooperate with investigations.

...which is one good reason why you Righties need to tone your Islamophobia down.  We need these local American Muslim communities to like us, not fear/hate us.</description>
