The notorious pro-Israel think tank Jewish Institute for National
Security Affairs (JINSA) which helped bring about the Iraq war and
promotes war on Iran has published an article by a retired US army
officer who calls on the US government to be willing to act as badly as
the "enemy" (Islamic extremism) about whom he states: "The greatest
advantage our opponents enjoy is an uncompromising strength of will,
their readiness to 'pay any price and bear any burden' to hurt and
humble us."

He first recommends we fight them by instituting a military draft, by
ending our namby pamby attitudes about massive daily troop losses and by
expunging the "war is not the answer" philosophy and other Gandhian
nonsense.

He reminds us we have the power to win any war, that the ruling class
must regain its Judeo-Christian religious fervor, that we must worry
about China's growing military - never forgetting that religion-driven
Islamists are still the worst enemy. Ominously he writes: "The greatest
advantage our opponents enjoy is an uncompromising strength of will,
their readiness to “pay any price and bear any burden” to hurt and
humble us." (And of course an Israeli attack on Iran would turn into
just such a war.)

Mr. Peters has a solution for the US military which JINSA probably
heartily endorses:

"Although it seems unthinkable now, future wars may require censorship,
news blackouts and, ultimately, military attacks on the partisan media.
Perceiving themselves as superior beings, journalists have positioned
themselves as protected-species combatants. But freedom of the press
stops when its abuse kills our soldiers and strengthens our enemies.
Such a view arouses disdain today, but a media establishment that has
forgotten any sense of sober patriotism may find that it has become
tomorrow’s conventional wisdom."

Where JINSA leads, will Barack Obama follow?? His infuriating recent
reversals on torture photos and Military Commissions at Guantanamo must
make one wonder.
