Defeating Jihad


Talk about "sustainability".... we are faced with real threats that are being ignored in a practiced disciplined way all to our detriment and our ability to sustain our way of life. Trump is right, there is something afoot, there is a reason that the real danger and enemy is being scrubbed from our records and language. (BH)

“What I have been trying to convince this city of for many years now is that we have not even begun to engage in the information operations battlefield. We do almost everything at the tactical level and have allowed political correctness to infect the way we do Information Operations and Psychological Warfare. America is preeminent at the application of kinetic force. The U.S. Abbottabad raid will be taught from the Beijing Military Academy to Sandhurst for the next hundred years as how you do a kinetic application of lead-on target. But tactical perfection does not automatically add up to victory. Tactical victories do not necessarily bring strategic success. We must delegitimize the ideology of the enemy or this will be exercise in “whack-a-mole.” Your children, my grandchildren, will be hunting jihadists a hundred years from now unless we take down their ideology of Global Jihadism.” —Dr. Sebastian Gorka
