Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
Libyan Intelligence: Muslim Brotherhood, Morsi Involved in U.S. Consulate Attack
Thursday, June 27, 2013
According
to a Libyan intelligence document, the Muslim Brotherhood, including
Egyptian President Morsi, were involved in the September 11, 2012
terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, where several
Americans, including U.S. ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, were
killed.

On Wednesday, June 26, several Arabic websites, including Veto Gate,
quoted the intelligence report, which apparently was first leaked to the
Kuwaiti paper, Al Raāi. Prepared by Mahmoud Ibrahim Sharif,
Director of National Security for Libya, the report is addressed to the
nationās Minister of Interior.
It discusses the preliminary findings of the investigation,
specifically concerning an āEgyptian cellā which was involved in the
consulate attack. āBased on confessions derived from some of those
arrested at the sceneā six people, āall of them Egyptiansā from the
jihad group Ansar al-Sharia (āSupporters of Islamic Law), were arrested.
According to the report, during interrogations, these Egyptian jihadi
cell members āconfessed to very serious and important information
concerning the financial sources of the group and the planners of the
event and the storming and burning of the U.S. consulate in Benghaziā¦.
And among the more prominent figures whose names were mentioned by cell
members during confessions were: Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi;
preacher Safwat Hegazi; Saudi businessman Mansour Kadasa, owner of the
satellite station, Al-Nas; Egyptian Sheikh Muhammad Hassan; former presidential candidate, Hazim Salih Abu Ismaāilā¦ā
It should be noted that these findings are unsurprising: the
supremacism of prominent Brotherhood figure Safwat Hegazi is such that
he publicly declares the Brotherhood āwill rule the worldā;
Saudi Mansourās hate-mongering, pro-Brotherhood TV station repeatedly
aired footage of the YouTube Muhammad movie inciting violence around the
Muslim world; popular Sheikh Muhammad Hassan holds that smiling to
non-Muslims is forbidden, except when trying to win them over to Islam; and Sheikh Hazim Abu Ismail is simply an openly anti-freedom, anti-infidel religious leader.
As for President Morsi, a video made during the consulate attack
records people speaking in the Egyptian dialect: as they approach the
beleaguered U.S. compound, one of them yells to the besiegers, āDonāt
shootāDr. Morsi sent us!ā From Raymond Ibrahim.
