Wow what drama, what arrogance, the conservatives have, if they think that their way is the only way to accomplish anything. Get over it pointer I’m sure the sun will rise somewhere tomorrow.

Hope you don’t mind me rearranging a little of You’re prose do you? I think it will serve here as well as where you put it. As a matter of fact I think it is even more appropriate here if you take the last four years into consideration.

The church of the Neo-Con ideology has its parishoners kneeling and praying to their false gods of bastardized history and benevolent aristocracy.

No not all hurdles are to high, look what was accomplished in the Nov. elections we managed to get a bunch of rubber stamps for the “ship of fools” that are running this country like it was some fiefdom, booted out. Hopefully we got some people in congress that has a little brain power, and can get this rudderless ship, back on course.

Having a bit of trouble trying to interpret that, but will have a go at it. Surely you’re not attributing any morals, and ethics, to the current group are you? If so I will be glad to go down that road with you.

<Sun Tzu outlined the roadmap for victory and it has held true for over a thousand years. >

Pointer if you look a bit further in the “The Art of War'' the oldest military treatise in the world written by the Chinese general Sun Tzu. The key principle in Sun Tzu's writings is that the supreme art of war is to conquer the enemy without fighting.

Well when we invaded Iraq there went that theory didn’t it? Plus to carry out a war, you need a,competent commander in chief.

Well when we invaded Iraq with the lies that Sadem had WMD and to spread Democracy into the Middle East. No one ask us to bring Democracy to them, no body ask us to throw Saddam out. But here we come charging into another country with the phonuAxx excuse that we will spread Democracy whether they want it or not.
Here’s a few more for you to take a look at.

Chapter Two: Doing Battle Sun-tzu said
If the army is exposed to a prolonged campaign, the nation's resources will not suffice.

In other words this is what he is saying. All resources are limited, the longer a nation remains at war, the worse off it will be.


When doing battle, seek a quick victory. A protracted battle will blunt weapons and dampen ardor.

Don’t see myself as a renaissance man, being im an ex-Marine, but I do believe that “Chesty”found some of Sun-tzu writings enlightening.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesty_Puller

Chesty is loved by enlisted men for his constant actions to improve their lot. He insisted upon good equipment and discipline. Once he came upon a second lieutenant who had ordered an enlisted man to salute him 100 times for missing a salute.

Chesty told the Lieutenant: "You were absolutely correct in making him salute you 100 times Lieutenant, but you know that an officer must return every salute he receives. Now return them all."
