Media upset by General Mattis new mission statement-
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jun/24/james-mattis-irks-leftist-media-saying-of-isis-wer/
“U.S. retired general and Secretary of Defense, James Mattis, has said the policy of the American military now in the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq is moving from one of attrition to one of annihilation.”
The traditional sure fire way of winning wars – you kill the enemy opposition.
Yup,it’s pretty simple strategy and applied effectively it works 100% of the time.
Kill them all, and let God sort them out.
@Marine 68 – Were in the Nam? I Corps?
I agree, but the sad fact is that no matter how many Islamist terrorists we kill, they will be replaced.
It’s kind of like the Nam – no matter how many Charlies we killed, North Vietnam could replace them. In order to win the Vietnam War, the U.S. military had to do a ground invasion of the North – and that was never done.
The same is true with the current terrorist war – The military is not allowed to attack the enemy homeland in a total war mode that wiped out Japan and Germany during WW II. As if that weren’t bad enough, the USA are allies with Muslim countries – Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia – and others.
The foreign enemy America and West face is Islam. In order for victory to happen, the West must invade these counties spread out over Africa, the Middle East and Asia – and crush them like the Mongols did the Chinese and Attila The Hun did the Romans. I mean mountains of skulls, cities nuked into atomic glass, the destruction of the Mosques and religious schools, the complete destruction of Mecca, Medina and all other Muslim holy sites, the automatic death sentence for any Muslim scholar, the removal of all Muslims from Western countries and automatic death sentences for any wishing to remain.
I think you get the picture – and none of this is politically possible – the military could mount such an operation – but like the campaign into North Vietnam that never happened – this will never happen.

Noting that many raghead fighters are returning to the safety of the west because things are getting a wee bit dangerous I’m not sure the comparison with Vietnam is valid. I suspect many fighters went along for the ride because they thought they’d just be killing soft targets that couldn’t fight back. Many are inherently cowards and poorly trained. There will always be more but I suspect the numbers of those keen to get killed will reduce as their bed mates are killed – especially now that there is the tough talk along the lines of not taking prisoners.
“I’m not sure the comparison with Vietnam is valid”
Me neither – fighting the last war is a common military failing.
@KG;
You are saying this war against Islamic terrorism is winnable without a Muslim holocaust?
I thought you had said that anything less than total war against Islam wouldn’t do the trick.
I’m saying no such thing, Ronbo. You know me better than that.
But the way of fighting will have to be very different to the way the Vietnam war was fought, for lots of reasons.
For starters, this won’t be a state vs state war. It will be a war fought on home soil against embedded enemies, both muslim AND the leftist traitors. As well as bleeding-heart fools who might quite like the idea of peace through victory, but would prefer that no blood be shed in the process and nobody’s civil rights are violated…..
More than anything, it will have to be a war against the establishment media and the establishment’s economic interests.
@KG:
Okay, I was just looking at the Muslim terrorist problem without looking at the big picture – and this steps needed to win are impossible under today’s political conditions.
The big picture is that to even start a serious counter offensive against Islam, we must first take on our internal enemies on the Left and defeat them, as they are the main enemy.
BTW, this is what happened during the Vietnam War and during the most recent war on Islamic terror – we have attempted to fight a limited war overseas- while being stabbed in the back at home by the Left, especially their Big Media.
In a broad general way we are fighting the same type of war we fought in Vietnam.
“More than anything, it will have to be a war against the establishment media and the establishment’s economic interests.”
Exactly. The Big Media in the USA led the charge out of Vietnam in 1968. Remember Walter Cronkite? He went on national television at a time when we had turned the tables on the Communists during the Tet Offensive. Afterwards the Big Media did a daily body count and video on the war in progress that drove morale on the home front to new lows…Ditto the race riots…Ditto the disorders at the colleges. Sound familiar?
In 1975 South Vietnam was still standing tall against the Red Wind from the north even without American support – and then the Communist started what proved to be the final offensive on the South. At that critical moment the Left which controlled Congress cut off all American military aid to the South that ensured the loss of South Vietnam in a few months.
Therefore, the war in Vietnam was lost on the American home front – as today, the limited war on Islamic terror is being lost because today – like 1965 to 1975 we are not moving against the real enemy – which is the Leftist Establishment – “The D.C. Swamp.”
Yes, Trump is doing some things that hold promise, but he must fight a ruthless Lincoln style civil war against the more dangerous enemy within the gates. He must jailed thousands of traitors, crush the Big Media start mass deportation of Muslims and other dangerous foreigners.
Then – and only then – with the Homeland secured can he go to the Pentagon and ask the generals and admirals what they need to finish off Islam…To win once and for all time the 1,400 year long war between the East and the West.

Rumour has it there’s a bear skin on Mad Dog’s floor; the bear isn’t dead but just too scared to twitch!
He is a great selection by Trump.
‘United Nations blast TRUMP and MAY for ‘undermining civil liberties’ of ISIS jihadists’

I hope they undermine their “rights” with Cluster Bombs
United Nations? I thought Trump had evited them from their building – remodeled it – reopened it with a new name: “Trump Towers On The River?”
The enemy at home, meanwhile, is intent on suicide. Public and humiliating suicide.

Popcorn, please!
That article reinforces the idea that most in the news media aren’t that smart.If Brains were dynamite they wouldn’t have enough to blow their nose.
The old mentality of ‘We produce, you consume’ is deeply embedded in the media. Watching them reel from every self-inflicted wound, only to try again (THIS time for SURE!), you get the sense of what it was like to watch the dinosaurs take their exit.
I am writing a new book, “The Decline And Fall Of The Big Media Empire.”
