Another General Speaks: War is Lost

0
Your rating: None

Retired Army Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez commanded U.S. forces during the first year of the Iraq war. In “his first interview since he retired last year,” Sanchez has said that the war in Iraq is lost, and the best outcome America can hope for is to “stave off defeat.” From his remarks after a recent speech in San Antonio:

“I think if we do the right things politically and economically with the right Iraqi leadership we could still salvage at least a stalemate, if you will — not a stalemate but at least stave off defeat,” Sanchez told the San Antonio Express-News. “It’s also kind of important for us to answer the question, ‘What is victory?’, and at this point I’m not sure America really knows what victory is.” […]

“I am absolutely convinced that America has a crisis in leadership at this time and we’ve got to do whatever we can to help the next generation of leaders do better than we have done over the past five years,” Sanchez said, “better than what this cohort of political and military leaders have done.”

and unfortunately it will not be contained in Iraq...I wish it would but all indications show otherwise. Iraq is something like landing in Normandy, successful operation no doubt but war is still in the beginning stages. Iraq was supposed to be like Normandy but everyday it looks more like Galipoli. You guys are good people and I hate giving bad news to good people. War for Zionist agenda will be greater than any war previously known to mankind. Everybody will be dragged into it, willingly or unwillingly. Lebanon trial version was nothing but a probing stunt devised by West through Israel's proxy. It was like measuring a pulse of a sick man before proclaiming him dead. Westerners used to call Ottoman empire the sick mean of east but today the sick man is Arab world or rather ME. However the sick man is still showing some signs of life with evident self destructing will to blow himself up together with his assailants. This desperate last resort that the sick man is using at the moment is quite disturbing for the ardent worshipers of this worldly life so they are debating when and not if they will launch a final blow to this sick man. Zionists are losing nerve with this "democracy crap" expansion because it is to dangerous for their cause. Freedom of expression is proving to be quite detrimental for their world wide agenda so they are forced to act quickly if they want to salvage and realize the final phase of their centuries long effort to enslave mankind in its totality. Alas this haste will cause them to break their necks and tumble down the rabbit hole while causing billions of casualties around the world. Bad news this is but they say if you have a party with the devil you will perish in blazing fire. Most of mankind have been partying with the devil (Zionism), enjoying his entertainment so naturally they will be consumed by his fire. Time for peace has long passed now and there is no going back for the ring of the dark lord (Satan) must be destroyed in the fires of the Mount Doom. Its main ally lord Saruman (Israel) will be erased by the natives of its land, Golam (goyim) enchanted with the ring of Satan (greed, power, prestige, arrogance) will blindly fall into fire screaming "my precioussss" utterly oblivious of its own destruction for the sake of the illusion (American way of life). As in war for the Middle Earth aka Middle East there will be alliance forged against the dark lord and his armies from where he can not conceive, because no doubt upcoming war will not limit itself to human beings alone. As in now famous movie there are different species among the good guys as well. So don't worry too much for good guys will win at the end the age of the King will definitely come to be.

TECHNIQUE OF THE COUP DE BANQUE
By Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi

In 1931 the Italian, Curzio Malaparte published in France his masterwork, ‘Technique du Coup d’Etat’. Malaparte exposed the machine nature of the state, and at the same time the ineffectiveness of convulsive changes in the leadership. In doing this he demonstrated the limits and the nihilism which characterise the modern state.

Now that the sovereign state system has in turn collapsed leaving kafir society without the defining human factor, belief in God, and devoid of values, the kuffar are unable to free themselves from the new power system of bankism.

Written in 2000, Shaykh Abdalqadir As-Sufi’s seminal work ‘Technique of the Coup de Banque’ shows how the Muslim community alone can identify the enemy of Islam and life itself, indicating the bankers as the force to be stripped of their power and their magical usury expropriation of our wealth. The Muslims, he explains, must now acquire the technique of the Coup de Banque.

SULTANIYYA
By Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi
Sultaniyya is the definitive modern statement on leadership in Islam. Shaykh Abdalqadir surveys Islam under the chapter headings Deen, Dawla (polity), Waqf, Trade, the Sultan — personal rule — and Tasawwuf.

This book is the only current statement on Islamic leadership outside of the false rhetoric of constitutional democracy and capitalism, beyond terrorism and tolerance.

The book also includes a comprehensive and inspiring review of the system of Awqaf under the Osmanli Khalifate, which they based on the Sunna of our Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, as well as a summary of our own models of Islamic Trade as they can be applied in this age.

THE FOUNDATIONS OF ISLAM
By Qadi 'Iyad
This book by the author of Ash-Shifa is a clear-cut manual laid out in five sections corresponding to the five pillars, and marked out with the simplicity of a basic technical manual.

For each pillar the Fard, Sunna, Superogatory, Liked, Disliked and Prohibited are concisely listed, with special page markings for easy reference and study.

This book is useful for new Muslims but also for refreshing the knowledge of the basics of even the most learned scholars.

Like all Madinah Media books it is thread-sewn and produced in good quality materials so that it lasts for years of regular use.

The trouble is war is profitable for some few people.

These few can get others to do the fighting and killing while they themselves do not fight...they just "talk the big fight".

They sell weapons, and create indebted governments through war and they grab land and resources take control and ownership of them.

War is only a hopeless cause when people stop killing on behalf of these loony power hungry leaders.

In a system where the rulers commit treason every day, the patriots are charged with treason.

War cannot be won, period. The very act of war is a loss to all mankind; a waste, a disease of the mind, body and soul, madness beyond reason, true evil.

Thus, war always ends in defeat.
