we been training foreign pilots for as long as i can remember. going back to the middle 60's i can remember jordanian, saudi, israeli and iranian pilots being trained here.

if israel decides to start a party i don't think they will invite the u.s. our fighting styles, military tactics are totally different. the israeli forces go in break things, kill people and get the hell out.

they don't kiss the foes a$$ and worry about repatriation, rebuilding and setting up NEW governments like we do. one of our greatest errors in vietnam was trying to tweak the politics. and as far as trying to get religions to mix and intermingle, well forget it. ain't gonna happen.

the goal of the muslim world is just like that of the former communist regimes, world domination. the quicker people realize that the better of they will be. bush's stance on this matter totally disappointed me.

i wonder how much dirty money from the nfl and nba is donated to mosques in the U.S. and is supporting terrorism in the middle east. i'll bet a dollar to a dime nobody has even thought of or would think of investigating that matter for fear of hurting someones fellings. well boo, hoo, hoo.

the united states and israel look at war in two different philosophies. i have had many arguments with my brothers over this matter as i have family living in israel. we have had some long heated debates about a war and wars in general. they do not forsee losing. it is not a cloud in their future.

i visited israel a few years ago and felt much the same way as i did in vietnam. as long as i was on army post or an air base i felt pretty secure but when i had to leave that protective ring the hair on the back of my neck and on my forearms stood up. these are resolved people who will fight to the death if need be. they have only been at it for a few thousand years now, so they know how to do it. their military is totally dedicated, and their women in the military are as mean as post menstural rattlesnakes. i value my life and i wouldn't miss with one. but they still know how to be female and a lady. a truely marvelous transformation.

so to get down to the nitty gritty, the united states should let israel handle it's own affairs, give aid when asked and keep it's mouth shut the rest of the time. israel is not abundant in resources, ie: military equipment etc. so what ever they need we should furnish. contrary to popular belief all jews are not rich. this one sure as he(( ain't. but i am jewish by blood, not by religion. i'm even worse, i'm a mackerel snapper.

israel's only down fall would be if they had to fight two different muslim countries at one time. that would stretch them pretty thin. but i also believe they are intelligent enough to not let that happen. they will grind down one country at a time if war does break out. israel thinks strategically, (long term) vs tactically (short term). even though their strategic thinking will cause a short term war. look at the seven day war as an example.

israel has one staunch supporter...me. i root for them in all their endeavors. but i have a vested interest. family.

back to the original question; do i think israel will be our back door to the middle east. no. the door is already wide open. we can barely handle iraq. it's a 50/50 for support by the american people. maybe. with cindy sh*%can and jane fonda and murtha types spewing forth their garbage we wouldn't stand a chance.

gee, what a great way to start the day. i gotta go find my pepcid.

p.s. for those of you who don't know, the jpfo at the bottom of my signature means JEWS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF FIREARMS OWNERSHIP. REMEMBER BACK IN THE 30'S WHEN GOOD OLD ADOLPH CONFISCATED ALL THE GUNS UNDER THE GUISE OF (SAFETY)? SURE MADE IT A LOT EASIER FOR HIS BOYS TO ROUND UP ALL THE JEWS.
