always remember Churchill was no friend of Jews, his support of Zionism was merely to excercise a divide and contol

He believed in The Protocals, and believed the Jewsih Conspiracy, when given the choice he sacrifed British Jews to their deaths in the East

LONDON – With Nazi "flying bombs" raining down on the nation's capital and largest population center, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill made a fateful and agonizing decision to use a double agent to redirect the missiles toward the Jewish sector of the city, secret MI6 files reveal for the first time.

Sultan

An interesting read is "The Malakand Field Force" - Winston Churchill.

He wrote this as a very young man. just out of Sandhurst, and then posted tp quell the Pushtu tribes of SWAT, Mahound etc. Reading it, makews you aware that nothing has changed in those tribal areas. They are the same. they do not respond to bribes but are well aware of honour and the law of revenge.

In those days, when even the telegraph was a week's hard ride, the British army could do what we cannot do. These days our forces have to fight with a gaggle of lawyers in Florida, linked to battlefield via satellite, looking over their shoulders, and telling what they can and cant do.

Read it. You will enjoy it.

Frankly though I am surprised Obama's peacenik supports aren't going crazy. He promised them the troops would be pulled out entirely in a year. He truly is a liar.

Not that I support the peacenik liberals but Obama hasn't delivered on any of his promises not to mention having a defeatest attitude towards the war.

I mean, if he's not ending the war and bringing the troops home and he's not committed to victory...what the heck IS he doing? Why are our guys getting killed in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Seeing as the result is continued terrorism and dead Americans, could Obama and Islamic terrorists be different sides of the same coin?

Note--I support the war on terror 100-percent. Just questioning the veracity of just about everything that comes out of Obama's mouth.

BTW: Wonderful article, Sultan.

Our soldiers are being killed while hussein obama remains indicisive. Either you fight a war to victory or you do not fight. Either hussein obama listens to General McChrystal and sends the forces needed to win or he should bring the troops home. There is no in between when in comes to war.

You're right Sultan. It's not that No Drama Obama doesn't know how to treat people with a heavy hand. He does and does so with his perceived enemies routinely.

The soft power is reserved for people and situations that could damaged his image and ego. For example, the over concern about being on the wrong side of history regarding the Iranian protests this summer.

Thing aren't going to improve as long as Americans are willing to settle for the faux government endorsed version of equality in which every one can achieve mediocrity versus true equality in which all Americans are truly equal and free to attain greatness by their own definition of it, not the government's.

Faux equality. Everyone is free to be common and boring with little to look forward to.

It sucks the spirit right out of the country when people start feeling the most they can strive to achieve is a state defined level of success rather than shooting for the stars.

OT but Orwell's 1984 sort of addresses the conflict between the two in the main character's name--Winston Smith. A personalized and meaningful first name and an all too common, just a another brick in the wall last name.

Sad but the government has lost its way and has no clue anymore.
