America’s Compass Series – Part I

Lack of Defined US Strategy

Continues

By Paul E. Vallely

March 17, 2011

Paraphrasing General Of the Army Douglas MacArthur’s speech – West Point in 1962:

“Duty, Honor, Country: Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be …

They build your basic character. They mold you for your future roles as the custodians of the nation’s defense…They teach you to be proud and unbending in honest failure, but humble and gentle in success; not to substitute words for action;…

to learn to stand up in the storm…to master yourself before you seek to master others…

to reach into the future, yet never neglect the past; to be serious, yet never take yourself too seriously; to be modest so that you will remember the simplicity of true greatness; the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength.”

America – it is time to reposition American Armed Forces to protect America first. I want our leaders (both civilian and military) to clearly define and prioritize the foreign and domestic threats to America and its people. To date, government policy elitists in the United States have demonstrated an almost complete ignorance of history in matters regarding forward strategic planning. While virtually every military officer and many policy “wonks” have been taught strategic planning at some level, it is obvious many have thrown most of the lessons out the door upon graduating. This is demonstrated more than ever by our senior commanders and State Department political appointees that seem to be void of vision and wisdom. One only needs to observe the international scene and turmoil in Libya, the Middle East and our Southern Border.

Since the 80s, we have been engaged in conflicts throughout the Middle East, from the Iranian hostage crisis, to the Beirut bombing of our Marines in 1982, to Iraq, and Afghanistan. We have witnessed one debacle after another. Why do our leaders and strategists still languish in failed strategies? Before we commit our military we must ask: “is this enemy a threat to the United States and the American people?” Never should this sovereign nation bow to edicts, mandates, and direction from the UN, the Arab League, or anyone else.

Note from General Jim Cash USAF retired:
I am often asked what I consider to be the greatest threat facing this nation in the next decade. Of all the problems we hear about every night from various news media, the greatest in my opinion is without doubt or hesitation, the rapid advancement of Islam. It is not the economy (we will eventually elect officials with mental ability to fix it). It is not terrorism (we will eventually say enough is enough and elect a President with a mentality capable of fixing that also). It is the misunderstanding of the average American about backward sixth century Islam itself, it’s actual goal of domination, and how rapidly it is silently gaining a foothold in this country. As it grows at a rate far outpacing that of the existing population, a democracy hell-bent on political-correctness with far-left leanings is a fertile environment of this kind of threat from within. The intent is to install Sharia Law, which can, over time, insidiously change the form of government of even the United States of America. It is already well on its way in Europe, and if we don’t wake up and stop listening to the political correct call from progressives, the sound of morning-call-to-prayer will be heard loud and clear over loud speaker systems all over America. I am devastated by the thought, even though President Obama has said it would be the sweetest music ever heard by his ears. These people will block vote, and with their increasing numbers, gain control of our government. At that point, recognition of the problem will be too late.

Please take time to read every word of the attached article by my friend, Bob Olsen. It is a wake up call, written at an understandable level, and important to Americans of all ages. We must elect representatives who will act to insure Islamization of America never happens. This is the most direct threat to our Constitution that our country has ever faced. It is here, and it is now. ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION, IT IS A WAY OF LIFE, and is in total opposition to our CONSTITUTION!!!

Bob has given me permission to make distribution on this article. Please pass it on, reprint it, and get the word to as many as possible. Educating the public will bring an end to this lunacy, and now is the time.

Islam
A system of Living
Masquerading as a Religion

I’m usually quite a tolerant person. I forgive and forget easily most of the time. I’ve been in the U.S. Army; I’m an avid church attendee and pay my taxes on time and in full. I’m a flag waver and have shed many tears over my country and flag. I support our troops no matter where they are or what they are doing. I love our Constitution and the laws by which we live. I’ve traveled and lived abroad and know the comfort of carrying a U.S. Passport. I’ve talked to people who would die just to see their family live within the USA. Yes, this country is great and it is my country and I’m extremely proud of it. I feel proud that I can stand up and say that I don’t like our President. I have that right, as do those who believe I’m wrong. But there has been a movement over the past years to bring my “wonderful country” to its knees. The movement is called Islam. I, personally, have decided to draw a line in the sand, so to speak. Basically, I’m not going to stand for all the political correctness that I feel is ruining our country. The actions by some who support Islamic beliefs and Sharia (Islamic Law) within the confines of the United States have gone over my line.

I want to believe that there are many followers of Islam who are honest and good people and that those who cause me anger are those radicals of the Islamic system who have crossed my line. I’m however, having a hard time believing the actions or for that matter the inactions taken by the followers of Islam; but on second thought maybe I can. After studying this “system of living” masquerading as a religion, it becomes apparent that I cannot believe anything, said or promised by anyone who believes in and follows Islam’s teachings. It is stated clearly in their holy book (the Qur’an) that lying to further Allah’s word is fully acceptable within Islam. This by itself is alarming and is called Taqiyya. According to Sharia (Islamic Law), deception, misleading or lying is not only permitted in certain situations but may be deemed obligatory in others.

However, what scares me most is when I hear a Christian friend say, “their god (meaning the god of Islam) is the same as our God” (the God of Christianity). Nothing could be further from the truth. Many Christians believe that the Islam god is Satan. Each time I hear a TV program or radio program refer to the differences between Islam and Christian beliefs, they tip toe around this fact. Well, I’m tired of it and I’m tired of all the problems that Islam is bringing into my country. I’m tired of Islam trying to get Sharia introduced into the USA; which would be the end of our Constitution. I’m really tired of everyone tip toeing around the thought that Islam should be outlawed in the United States of America. Continue reading »
