How many Christians refused to deny their belief and were sent to pet the lions. Did any of them wish to die as martyrs? Probably yes. How many Christians went into battle at the orders of their Pope and died? Was that not similar to suicide bombers of the Islamic jihad?

He’s a troll. Ignore him. He doesn’t deserve the effort.

MrCleveland,
Your response to me implies that I asserted Peters blamed Obama for 9/11. I did not write that. That was in the headline. If you are going to take me to task you need to cite my posts and not somebody else’s. Funny how you focus on the headline and ignore all of the unproven b.s. that Peters shoveled out by the ton. In point of fact, there is not a single item in the Peters argument that is demonstrably provable. The garbage that Peters is pedaling is at best spin and obfuscating opinion, at worst it is just fear mongering, religious/ethnic bigotry, and sophistry.

Ralph Peters thoroughly disgraced himself when he essentially tried to goad the Taliban into executing an American soldier being held captive. That constituted treason and by giving the Taliban an additional excuse to kill Pfc. Bergdahl, put him in much greater danger. If that is not aiding an enemy during a time of war, what is? Peters is a loathsome coward that would willingly sacrifice an American soldier in order to score transient political points. Peters deserves a cell in a federal prison, but by all means, let’s ignore his insane diatribe and focus on a headline that you don’t like.

Even if we take the headline as being misleading or untrue, the balance of lies still tilts overwhelmingly on Peters’ side. By my count, that is something like 44 to 1. It’s hared to take you seriously when you ignore 44 bald face lies and unprovable assertions in favor of focusing on a single headline that is at best misleading.

But you don’t trouble yourself with pesky facts either.

Does that mean that we can’t afford his healthcare, or just ours?

I just read Ralph Peter’s piece in the New York Post. Lots of news there, like stuff about Ellen on Idol and Jen’s dinner date. He makes a lot of noise about how “we” have failed, how “we” have betrayed the dead of 9-11. I’d have say to Mr. Peters, “speak for yourself”, ’cause he sure doesn’t speak for me.
Speaking of betrayal, remember last July when Pfc. Bergdahl was captured by the Taliban? Peters, on television, suggested they could “save us a lot of legal bills”, I guess, by executing the American soldier, whom Peters accused of desertion, rather than returning him to his unit. Yup, Ralph Peters is some kind of expert wheh it comes to betrayal.

The popular view that only followers of Islam would be suicide bombers seems to be based on the idea that Christians don’t have the courage to be martyrs or that soldiers only kill other soldiers. War through the ages has shown both of these positions to be false.

Suicide bombers are attacking from weakness against overwhelming technical superiority. McVeigh had an escape route but the tools he used were the same as the suicide bombers. If these people could come up with strategies that kept more on their side alive we would demonizing that approach instead. We on the other hand had the clean and meritorious “shock and awe” on our side.

Let us pause a long, respectful minute for the lost innocent lives of the

9/11 Bush/Cheney Failure To Protect America From Foreign Enemies

However, why should Peters be troubled by pesky facts?

Yes, but — as long as we’re speaking of pesky facts — where exactly did Peters say that “9/11 is Obama’s fault.” I still can’t find that.
