Default O.T. Some Good Points

This guy probably never existed but you got to love the points made:
I love this. He's my kind of guy.

General Hawley's Politically INCORRECT Message...

This Air Force General should have been a Marine. What a magnificent and
insightful view of what this war on terrorism is actually about. Please
read and pass on as you see fit.

General Hawley, is a newly retired USAF 4 star general. He commanded
the Air Combat Command [our front-line fighters and bombers] at Langley
AFB, VA. He is now retired and no longer required to be politically
correct. A true patriot!

"Since the attack [9-11], I have seen, heard, and read thoughts of such
surpassing stupidity that they must be addressed. You've heard them too.
Here they a

1) "We're not good, they're not evil, everything is relative."

Listen carefully: We're good, they're evil, nothing is relative. Say it
with me now and free yourselves. You see, folks, saying "We're good"
doesn't mean, "We're perfect." Okay? The only perfect being is the
bearded guy on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The plain fact is that
our country has, with all our mistakes and blunders, always been and
always will be the greatest beacon of freedom, charity, opportunity, and
affection in history. If you need proof, open all the borders on Earth
and see what happens.

2) "Violence only leads to more violence."

This one is so stupid you usually have to be the president of an Ivy
League university to say it. Here's the truth, which you know in your
heads and hearts already: Ineffective, unfocused violence leads to more
violence. Limp, panicky, half measures lead to more violence. However,
complete, fully thought through, professional, well executed violence
never leads to more violence because, you see, afterwards, the other
guys are all dead. That's right, dead. Not "on trial," not "reeducated,"
not "nurtured back into the bosom of love." Dead.

3) "The CIA and the rest of our intelligence community have failed us."


For 25 years we have chained our spies like dogs to a stake in the
ground, and now that the house has been robbed, we yell at them for not
protecting us. Starting in the late seventies, under Carter appointee
Stansfield Turner, the giant brains who get these giant ideas decided
that the best way to gather international intelligence was to use spy
satellites. "After all, (they reasoned,) you can see a license plate
from 200 miles away." This is very helpful if you've been attacked by a
license plate. Unfortunately, we were attacked by humans. Finding humans
is not possible with satellites. You have to use other humans. When we
bought all our satellites, we fired all our humans, and here's the
really stupid part. It takes years, decades to infiltrate new humans
into the worst places of the world. You can't just have a guy who looks
like Gary Busey in a Spring Break '93 sweatshirt plop himself down in a
coffee shop in Kabul and say "Hiya, boys". Gee, I sure would like to meet
that bin Laden fella. Well, you can, but all you'd be doing is giving
the bad guys a story they'll be telling for years.

4) "These people are poor and helpless, and that's why they're angry at
us."

Uh-huh, and Jeffrey Dahmer's frozen head collection was just a desperate
cry for help. The terrorists and their backers are richer than Elton
John and, ironically, a good deal less annoying. The poor helpless
people, you see, are the villagers they tortured and murdered to stay in
power. Mohammed Atta, one of the evil scumbags who steered those planes
into the killing grounds is the son of a Cairo Surgeon. But you knew
this, too. In the sixties and seventies, all the pinheads marching
against the war were upper-middle-class college kids who grabbed any
cause they could think of to get out of their final papers and spend
more time drinking. It's the same today.

5) "Any profiling is racial profiling."

Who's killing us here, the Norwegians? Just days after the attack, the
New York Times had an article saying dozens of extended members of the
gazillionaire bin Laden family living in America were afraid of
reprisals and left in a huff, never to return to studying at Harvard and
using too much Drakkar. I'm crushed. Please come back. Let's all stop
singing "We Are the World" for a minute and think practically. I don't
want to be sitting on the floor in the back of a plane four seconds away
from hitting Mt.Rushmore and turn, grinning, to the guy next to me to
say, "Well, at least we didn't offend them."

SO HERE'S what I resolve for the New Year:

Never to forget our murdered brothers and sisters. Never to let the
relativists get away with their immoral thinking. After all, no matter
what your daughter's political science professor says, we didn't start
this. Have you seen that bumper sticker that says, "No More Hiroshimas"?
I wish I had one that says, "No More Pearl Harbors."

97 days to go..
