The Disintegration of the Saudi Sunni Bloc

By Major Bill Donahue, USMC -RET | Thursday, January 10th, 2008

[Blog note: A rather long read...but a precursor of times to come? We are in for a much longer "war" than anyone wants to admit]

The Middle East Media Research Institute…
January 10, 2008 – [emphasis added]

For the past two years, the Gulf states have been part of a Sunni bloc established by Saudi Arabia to counter Iran’s aspirations for regional hegemony. During this period, Saudi Arabia made efforts to distance Iran from “Arab affairs,” while the Gulf states were already in political conflict with Iran over the issue of the three islands (Greater and Lesser Tunb, and Abu Moussa) that Iran had forcefully seized from the UAE in 1971, and following recent statements by senior Iranian leaders threatening Bahrain’s sovereignty. [1] Some in Saudi Arabia even called on the Gulf states to form a military alliance against Iran. [2]

Thomas Jefferson and Muslims

By Major Bill Donahue, USMC -RET | Monday, October 15th, 2007

By Ted Sampley U.S. Veteran Dispatch January 2007
 
Democrat Keith Ellison is now officially the first Muslim United  States congressman. True to his pledge, he placed his hand on the Quran, the Muslim book of jihad and pledged his allegiance to the United States during his ceremonial swearing-in.
 
Capitol Hill staff said Ellison’s swearing-in photo opportunity drew more media than they had ever seen in the history of the U.S. House.  Ellison represents the 5th Congressional District of Minnesota. The Quran Ellison used was no ordinary book. It once belonged to  Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States and one of America ‘s founding fathers. Ellison borrowed it from the Rare Book Section of  the Library of Congress. It was one of the 6,500 Jefferson books  archived in the library. Ellison, who was born in Detroit and converted to Islam while in college, said he chose to use Jefferson’s Quran because it showed  that “a visionary like Jefferson ” believed that wisdom could be gleaned from many sources.
 
There is no doubt Ellison was right about Jefferson believing wisdom could be “gleaned” from the Muslim Quran. At the time Jefferson  owned the book, he needed to know everything possible about Muslims because  he was about to advocate war against the Islamic “Barbary” states of  Morocco , Algeria, Tunisia and Tripoli.

Soldiers in Iraq Don’t Hear Deliberations Back Home
By Leslie Sabbagh
Popular Mechanics Aug. 17, 2007
(Emphasis added)
TIKRIT, Iraq – It never even hits the radar screen.

For the troops on the front lines and the colonels in the rear-and just about everyone in between-the big news in Iraq every day is that they’re still alive and healthy.

When it comes to Senate votes on the U.S. presence in Iraq, Sunday talk shows thrashing out length of deployment and stateside pundits talking to themselves, nearly every grunt, airman, sailor, soldier and Marine I speak with just doesn’t care.

It’s not negligence or a lack of opinion about how long they think they should stay here; they’re tuned out because the news doesn’t impact their day-to-day operations-and because comms often leave them uninformed from half a world away.
War deliberations and post-firefight reactions back home can vanish during the 12-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week base-line duty of the average soldier in Iraq. So when line troops are swamped carrying gear from street patrol to street patrol, village raid to village raid, for up to 20 hours a day, they often don’t have the time for, or the luxury of, Internet access. And when they do get it, they’re not punching up CNN-it’s e-mails from home they’re reading.
