Military Plotting A 'Long War' On Terror

Topics: War on Terror

If you haven't had your daily dose of coffee and haven't yet fully awakened from your early afternoon haze, skip the coffee, you aren't going to need it. If this report from the from the Washington Times doesn't get your full attention, you're unsalvageable, you've got attention deficit disorder and you'll never "get it" in terms of understanding the danger of the Islamic threat to Western civilization:

(...) Joint Chiefs of Staff planners have produced a 27-page briefing on the war on terror that seeks to explain how to win the "long war" and says Islamic extremists may be supported by 12 million Muslims worldwide.

(...) Military planners worry that al Qaeda could win if "traditional allies prefer accommodation."

(...) Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, the document states, "is absolutely committed to his cause. His religious ideology successfully attracts recruits. He has sufficient population base from which to protract the conflict. ... Even support of 1 percent of the Muslim population would equate to over 12 million 'enemies.' "

(...) The unclassified production, titled "Fighting the Long War -- Military Strategy for the War on Terrorism," is a component of the Pentagon's ongoing campaign to explain that a lengthy struggle requires patience from the American people and Congress.

(...) It holds up the 1930s as an example of how not to respond to extremism, noting Europe's appeasement of German dictator Adolf Hitler.

(...) "The consequences of inaction" in the 1930s, the briefing says, "Lives lost: 300,000; 70 million worldwide. ... War expenditures: $3.1 trillion ... 38 percent of GDP per year. [The Pentagon today is spending 3.8 percent of U.S. GDP.] U.S. reconstruction expenditures: $90 billion over four years."

(...) Bin Laden, the Joint Staff paper says, wants to "expand the Muslim empire to historical significance." And Iraq "has become the focus of the enemy's effort. If they win in Iraq, they have a base from which to expand their terror. ... Extremists now have an Emirate in Iraq that serves as a base of operations from which they can revive the Caliphate [Islamic rule]. ... Baghdad becomes the capital of the Caliphate. The revived Caliphate now turns its attention to the destruction of Israel."

(...) Adm. Sullivan's briefing contains a map that shows the bin Laden-style caliphate conquering North and East Africa, the entire Middle East and Central and South Asia.

(...) This dire scenario can only happen if the U.S. is defeated in Iraq and Afghanistan.

So let's see, we're looking at a 12 million Muslims or more that are committed to jihad (at this time, and a more likely percentage could be increasingly much higher), our enemies are committed to a protracted deadly campaign to kill us and force us to submit to Islam, in order to win - we need to avoid appeasing the enemy, and we will need patience from the American people and Congress. The key message here is that without these "needs" being fulfilled, we loose!

What we know at this point is that, yes, there are a hell of a lot of Muslims that won't to kill us (as well as their fellow Muslims that they disagree with), our enemies are committed to winning this war for the survival of civilization that we find ourselves in - but we aren't, we are litterally a house divided, and we need the American people and Congress to be patient, but the an "unloyal" opposition for the most part fails to recognize the all-out war for survival that we are in and wants to appease and disengage our enemies with every breath they take.

That's it? Wow, in other words - it's over, we've lost, and civilization with it!

Perhaps we all ought to start taking this damned War on Terror a little more seriously, don't you think? This war is no game, folks, it's real.
