the Saudi's can bring the west to it's knees, if it cut off the oil....everybody knows it, except for a few. we play nicey, nicey with them because we have no choice...yet. the sooner the US can be prepared for the massive world shock, of a cut-off of oil by the middle east, the better position we'll be in, until then?....they have us by the gonads

So, a parent, to save his children and his wife, pledges a loyalty that is weak to say the least, is a coward?
Really?
Frankly, I'd agree to worship Satan himself, if it saved the life of my niece. Then when the opportunity to get her to safety came, I'd get her out, then it's on.
Cowards? For saving their families in the only way available to them...?

I agree,you also snatch and grab anyone who has funded them.
Screw the whole 'Snatch and Grab' crap, What? More Guantanamo 'Members only' club members on US tax payers tab, only to be criticized about human rights violations down the line?

We won't, can't get them all. Stop 'em militarily, yes the west can stop them.
In the process, however, we must make sure to not become, in the eyes of the innocents around/in the middle of the conflict, just like them.
It's going to be easier said then done. ...and it will be bloody. Is the West willing to pay the butcher bill?

That is the biggest thing that snips me off about this.
They screamed bloody murder over Gitmo, and what the US has 'done'.
But where is that outrage at the hundreds of people who have been beheaded.
Where is the international community scream about those peoples human rights that have lost their heads ?
None of that happy horse# we continue to do to appease liberal who think they can make war a nice thing.
Then what do we do?
