In Cairo, when President Obama addressed the Muslim world, global leftists lauded the speech as heralding instant change for the better in the Middle East. The Obama-adoring pundits were right. Change came. But it’s all bad. By Ralph Peters Instead of listening to the extravagant claims of our leftward-plunging media about how profoundly that speech affected Muslims, [...]
Pelosi's jet and commentary. Sent to me by a fellow memo reader and attributed to Gov. Sanford. (See 1 below.) This Jet is the USAF C-32, Boeing 757, that MADAME PELOSI uses. ADL challenged for wandering off the reservation. (See 2 below.) From a friend and fellow memo reader. Revelations about Ft Hood terrorist and possible connections to Obama's Homeland Security Agency - page 29 of report. (See...
I endorse most of what Gian Gentile says here about the Vietnam War, especially in the context of this quote from George Herring: …the war could [not] have been ‘won’ in any meaningful sense at a moral or material cost most Americans deemed acceptable. Gentile is a pretty harsh critic of the COIN turn in the US Army, and is pushing back against some of the more aggressive claims...
Infidels Are Cool brought our attention to a piece by Ralph Peters at the NY Post which explores "how that whole “hope and change” is working out with the Muslim world since Obama took office. The State run media expected the Islamic world to suddenly start loving America if we would only apologize for the so-called “plight” of worldwide Muslims. So Barack, how’s...
I don’t have any firm opinions about what we should do in Afghanistan at this juncture. In favor of the surge, it’s supported by some very credible individuals (e.g. Robert Gates, Gen Petraeus, Gen McChrystal, the Joint Chiefs). On the other hand, you also have military pundits like Ralph Peters who think that strategy is ill-conceived. And I myself have never been sanguine about the prospects...
Al Czervik on our wars in the Mideast: I’ve been torn by the conflict on how to feel about Afghanistan, but after reading Pat Boone’s column today, I’m with Pat on this one. ... Boone’s not the only one with this assessment: Lt. Col Ralph Peters has been saying GTFO since February . ... With an incompetent (and quite possibly illegal) President as C-in-C, any war fought under...
Ralph Peters at the NY Post has an interesting piece today about how that whole “hope and change” is working out with the Muslim world since he took office. The State run media expected the Islamic world to suddenly start loving America if we would only apologize for the so-called “plight” of worldwide Muslims. So [...]
Retired Army Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, military journalist and novelist, has looked into the future again in his latest novel, “The War After Armageddon.” Certainly, anything conjuring the fabled final war between good and evil is ominous. Peters’ fictional last clash is between a sudden restoration of militant Christendom in the West and Islamic lands [...]
"Arguably the most widely read science fiction of the 1980s, though rarely recognized as such, were the military techno-thrillers that topped the bestseller lists in that decade— novels like those written by Tom Clancy, Stephen Coonts, Dale Brown, Payne Harrison and Ralph Peters. The genre attracted little attention from serious critics in its heyday, and with the decline in its popularity...
Robert Spencer on the Savage Nation Lt. Col. Ralph Peters Says The Problem Is Islam Source: CAIR “It is the proper role of national religious and political leaders to challenge those who promote hatred and intolerance,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad. “Extremists who seek to exploit the Fort Hood tragedy are doing a disservice to our [...]

O’Reilly strikes me as completely clueless here. He acquired the weapons, that takes a couple days, he gave away his possessions, he closed down his apartment…our army has become so politically correct that they didn’t get rid of this guy! Because he’s a protected minority, the army let him slide… We need to stop focusing on tormented Major [...]
The purpose of an Army has been described as kill people and break things. As such people who excel at leading units dedicated to such tasks, killing people and breaking things, are not noted for nuance. Case in point, William T. Sherman: [W]ar is Hell. Ralph Peter, Lt. Colonel, United States Army (retired) [...]
I actually thought this was one of the finest speeches Obama has ever given, but O'Reilly - in conversation with the insane Ralph Peters - defends the fact that Obama has to try and win hearts and minds as it isn't possible to "kill all the Muslims". Note, he isn't saying it isn't possible to "kill all the terrorists", he saying it's not possible to "kill all the Muslims"....
