Rudyard Kipling"
“When 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 soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It 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."
Cooperate or fight with BN? We're okay with either - PAS No 2

Malaysiakini : PAS is prepared to face all possibilities in the upcoming 15th
general election (GE15), said its deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan
Man. He said this decision was made because Umno-BN kept insisting they no longer want to continue their cooperation with PAS.
“I see BN making a lot of decisions about going solo, so if BN has made such a decision, we are ready to face all possibilities. “If we can work together, we can have an alliance. If they want to fight, we can also fight,” he said, as reported by Sinar Harian today. Tuan Ibrahim (above) added that they are also ready to clash with other parties in the general election.
However, he said PAS will continue to strengthen Perikatan Nasional (PN) leading up to GE15. “Yes
(ready to clash) but as we know, the decision of this party will be
taken to the respective leadership councils. For our party, we are
moving as PN because PAS is part of PN. “The most important thing
is that the people can benefit from a stable and fair government, that
is the focus for the people. We do not want an unstable government
because the country’s economy has not fully recovered,” he said.
Aisyalam : You guys always profess ummah unity but among yourselves all of you are so disunited. Deputy President says we can go against BN. Spiritual leader asks BN let’s be an alliance. Secretary General says still not finalized. And all said in a day. The only thing common is your uniforms, all aged and all seeking mullah.
Divide : Is PAS officially replacing the comedy clubs around the country?
OrangePanther1466 : PAS does not know whether they are coming or going. They hide behind rhetoric like uniting the Ummah etc... However they forget that many in their Ummah are crooks, thieves and people of low morals. But that's OK for them so long as they are part of the Ummah.
This is some screwed up logic devoid of values and ethics. To me, PAS has debased Islam as I am sure the religion does not condone wrong doing.
PAS must never be allowed to participate in the federal govt as none of their leaders know anything about governance. I hope the people of Kelantan and Terengganu will be enlighten enough to vote them out.
Mazilamani : If you are not sure of what you really, anything is OK.
PAS already knows its fate at the next GE. It is reaching out for straws to stay alive.
The President is not helping the Party by claiming the Nons are the root delivers of all bad things in the country from crimes to corruption.
If the irreligious or Kafirs are the sources of crimes, please explain why it is only 70percent safe for individuals to walk alone in the night in Kota Baru.What of the high incidences of thefts,snatch thefts, drugs and ketum consumption, rape and incest. I am sure the Holy Ones are not neglecting on their responsibilities.
Please correct your backyard first before preaching on national politics. People don't want preaching but help, and please start with clean water supply for the simple minded Kelantanese.
GrayGoose8208 : I sincerely pray and hope PAS will lose big at next GE. Hadi must go and be banished from entering the country again after being stripped of his citizenship for being such a radical. Hadi must not be allowed to tarnish our country, race and religion any longer.
BOBBYO : The people can benefit from a fair and stable govt. How can a govt. be fair and stable under Pas ?
When they try and shut up all the economic avenues, create more religious centres and spent more on religious education.
With this background scenario, how can we have a stable govt. or an enterprising nation. Or even citizens that might have any future.
So what exactly is Pas talking about. With whichever coalition they will be in partnership, the nation will pay a heavy price.
As they keep on harping considering the shutting down of certain festivals, celebrations and all form of entertainment.
This will chase away all our investors. In no time our citizens will be leaving the nation to find employment overseas. Maybe some of them might even be abused, like some foreign workers face their situations here.
So it will be better for Umno to go solo, rather than go in to a partnership with a party that will drag them down as well the nation.
BlueMinnow3865 : PAS stronghold in Kelantan is on shaky ground in GE15. That is why they are so desperately trying to befriend Umno. PAS has no impact on middle ground malays who want to see a progressive Malaysia but only hard core supporters will vote for PAS. PAS won Terengganu because of the tsunami for change in GE14 and they took control of Kedah because of frogs and at that time they were still on good terms with umno. But in GE 15 PAS will have a very tough time defending these 2 states and if not careful they might lose Kelantan altogether.
