Military Recruiter tells it like it is...

...In your email to me I noticed that you insinuated that America's youth are too uninformed (or is it dumb) to enlist in the military. They're too dumb to know the "truth". Why is it OK for them to protest against the war? They are surely too dumb to know what they're talking about. So why are they out there protesting if they don't know what's REALLY going on? Could it be possible that the anti-war left is taking advantage of America's youth for their own political gain? They're tricking these kids to protest against the war.... Couldn't you say that these people are ABUSING kids? Shouldn't this be wrong? If anybody is taking advantage of kids, it surely is the anti-war left......

Iranian nukes unacceptable

"If by the end of March 2006 the international community will have failed to halt Iran's nuclear weapons program, diplomatic efforts will be pointless."
Israel Military Intelligence Chief Aharon Ze'evi Farkash
(Farkash has also said that after March, Israel must be prepared to use means other than diplomacy to halt Iran's nuclear weapons program.)
