8 Threats and We Are Almost There. Palestinian Hatred and Legitimizing Iran. Draining The Army Dry.

===

There are 8 levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a socialist/communist state. The first is the most important. (See 1 below.)

===
As I have said many times. government dumbs down because there are more at the bottom than the top and bureaucracies get more funding when they have more over whom they are responsible.

Once Jimmy Carter got the government more embedded into education (See 6 in 1 below.) the education of our future citizens went to hell.  (See 2 below.)
===
Legitimizing Iran. Why? (See 3 below.)
===
Palestinian hatred. They have lost every war they have fought .  That is what losers do.(See 4 below.)

and

More Palestinian martyrs honored because they kill. (See 4a below.)
===

Love him or hate him, there’s a reason Donald Trump has opened up a lead on his Republican opponents and now beats Hillary Clinton in head-to-head match up:

Normalizing Iran

By Bret Stephens 

Why are liberals campaigning to make this most illiberal regime acceptable?

In Syria, Bashar Assad is trying to bring his enemies to heel by blocking humanitarian convoys to desperate civilians living in besieged towns. The policy is called “starve or kneel,”and it is openly supported by Hezbollah and tacitly by Iran, which has deployed its elite Quds Force to aid Mr. Assad’s war effort.

So what better time for right-thinking liberals to ask: “Is Iran really so evil?”

That’s the title of a revealing essay in Politico by Stephen Kinzer, a former New York Times reporter now at Brown University. “The demonization of Iran is arguably the most bizarre and self-defeating of all U.S. foreign policies,” Mr. Kinzer begins. “Americans view Iran not simply as a country with interests that sometimes conflict with ours but as a relentless font of evil.”

Mr. Kinzer’s essay was published Sunday, as sanctions were lifted on Tehran and four of America’s hostages came home after lengthy imprisonments. The Obama administration publicly insists that the nuclear deal does not mean the U.S. should take a benign view of Iran, but the more enthusiastic backers of the agreement think otherwise. “Our perception of Iran as a threat to vital American interests is increasingly disconnected from reality,” Mr. Kinzer writes. “Events of the past week may slowly begin to erode the impulse that leads Americans to believe patriotism requires us to hate Iran.”

What a weird thought. My own patriotism has never been touched one way or another by my views of Iran. Nor do I hate Iran—if by “Iran” one means the millions of people who marched alongside Neda Agha-Soltan when she was gunned down by regime thugs in the 2009 Green Revolution, or the fellow travelers of Hashem Shaabani, the Arab-Iranian poet executed two years ago for “waging war on God,” or the thousands of candidates who are routinely barred from running for Parliament for being insufficiently loyal to the Supreme Leader.

This is the Iran that liberals like Mr. Kinzer ought to support, not the theocratic usurpers who claim to speak in Iran’s name while stepping on Iranian necks. But we are long past the day when a liberal U.S. foreign policy meant shaping our interests around our values—not the other way around—much less supporting the liberal aspirations of people everywhere, especially if they live in anti-American dictatorships.

Today’s liberal foreign policy, to adapt Churchill, is appeasement wrapped in realism inside moral equivalency. When it comes to Iran policy, that means believing that we have sinned at least as much against the Iranians as they have sinned against us; that our national-security interests require us to come to terms with the Iranians; and that the best way to allay the suspicions—and, over time, diminish the influence—of Iranian hard-liners is by engaging the moderates ever more closely and demonstrating ever-greater diplomatic flexibility.

That’s a neat theory, proved wrong by experience at every turn. The Carter administration hailed the Ayatollah Khomeini as “a saint.” Our embassy was seized. Ronald Reagan sent Khomeini a birthday cake, along with secret arms, to facilitate the release of hostages in Lebanon. A few hostages were released, while others were taken in their place. The world welcomed the election of “moderate” President Mohammad Khatami in 1997. Iran’s illicit nuclear facilities were exposed during his second term.

In 2009, on the eve of presidential elections, the New York Times’s Roger Cohen celebrated “the vibrancy of a changing, highly educated society” that he had found on his visits to Tehran. “The equating of Iran with terror today is simplistic,” he wrote. After the election, he ran for his life from the terror of the same street militia that had murdered Agha-Soltan.

Now we’re supposed to believe that the change Mr. Cohen and others had hoped for has finally arrived. The proof, supposedly, is that the regime has so far kept to its nuclear promises (in exchange for a $100 billion windfall), that it swiftly released U.S. sailors (after scoring a small propaganda coup), and that it let the other hostages go (though only after very nearly taking the wife and mother of one of those hostages in his turn, and then after an additional $1.7 billion reward from the U.S.).

Are these signs of a new-and-improved regime? Or merely one that is again being given good reasons to believe that it can always extract a bribe for its bad behavior? The notion of moral hazard, fundamental to economics, has a foreign-policy dimension, too. Any country that believes it will never be made to pay the price for the risks it takes will take ever-greater risks. It’s bad enough when the country in question is Greece. This is Iran.

Iran will become a “normal” country only when it ceases to be an Islamic Republic. In the meantime, the only question is how far we are prepared to abase ourselves in our quest to normalize it.

Netanyahu in Otniel: Boundless Palestinian hatred caused by incitement By HERB KEINON

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Otniel on Tuesday morning and slammed the Palestinian Authority for the incitement that propelled a 15-year-old boy to murder a 38-year-old mother of six. “There is on the one side humanity and a desire for coexistence, and on the other side boundless hatred,” he said, after paying a shiva call on the family of Dafna Meir, murdered on Sunday by the 15-year-old terrorist arrested earlier in the day.  “That hatred has an address,” Netanyahu said. “It is the incitement of the Palestinian Authority and other actors such as the Islamic Movement and Hamas. The time has come for the international community to stop its hypocrisy and to call the child by its name.” Netanyahu, accompanied on his visit by Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, said the root of the conflict is the Palestinian refusal to “recognize the right to the Jews to have a state in any borders – here, in Tel Aviv, anywhere,” he said. He said this “truth” must be told to the world, and that in the end “the truth will win out.” In addition to meeting with the Meier family, Netanyahu and Ya'alon received a security briefing from senior IDF officials and met with the head of the Hebron Hills regional Council, Yohai Damari. 4a) Two More Middle East Martyrs By JONATHAN S. TOBIN  The last thing the Middle East needs is another two martyrs. But that’s what it got on Sunday night as a result of a horrifying crime that took place in a West Bank settlement. The incident isn’t likely to generate the kind of headlines that terror attacks in the West have gotten. But what happened in Otniel not only deserves more attention, it also illustrates again the real differences between the respective sides in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians and showed how unhelpful the interventions by the Obama administration have been. The incident is just the latest in what is known as the “stabbing intifada.” A Palestinian terrorist entered the community of Otniel, a settlement near Hebron and entered the home of a Jewish family. Once inside, he struggled with Dafna Meir, a 40-year-old nurse and mother of four as well as the foster parent to more small children. Meir was able to stop the intruder from getting to her children but suffered fatal stab wounds in the process. The terrorist fled the home and the settlement and sought shelter in a nearby Arab village. As was the case with the Arab who shot up a Tel Aviv café and killed three people and dozens of other terrorists who have committed similar crimes in recent months, we can expect the Otniel stabber to be given every possible means of assistance from other Palestinians while he is on the loose. And once he is caught, we know he will be lionized as a hero to the cause of Palestinian nationalism and Islam. He will be hailed as a martyr if he is killed. It is a point that has been made countless times in recent years by events but it bears repeating. Jews who commit violence against Arabs are an isolated tiny minority that is ostracized, prosecuted and jailed. Palestinians, who commit violence against Jews, as they do virtually every day, are doing so to the applause of the majority of their people and the approval of their Fatah and Hamas governments. The Arab-Israeli conflict is complex and the Palestinians have certainly suffered terribly over the decades even if most of that suffering has been self-inflicted. But what those who sympathize with the Palestinians seem to forget is that events like the murder of Dafna Meir is not an exceptional or unusual act. It is the sort of thing that is seen by Palestinian popular and political cultural as an honorable and praiseworthy act. That is because Palestinian public opinion sees the presence of Jews anywhere in the country as illegitimate. That is an important point because, in the aftermath of Sunday’s terror attack, it is likely that any news accounts of the murder will refer to Mrs. Meir as a settler. As such, many around the world, including many Americans who have been indoctrinated to see the Jews who live in the West Bank and Jerusalem as obstacles to peace or illegal occupiers, will see her as somehow deserving to be stabbed or shot or blown up. This is based on a false reading of both history and law as Jews have a right to live in the heart of their ancient homeland though it is a debatable issue as to whether it is wise for them to exercise that right in all parts of the West Bank. But what we’ve learned in the last two weeks is that Palestinians don’t really make the same distinctions between West Bank Jews and those living in the Jewish settlement that was built on sand dunes on the outskirts of a then-Arab majority city of Jaffa in 1909. We know that because of the way Palestinians in the West Bank, as well as Arabs in Jerusalem and even some who are Israeli citizens, cheered the New Year’s Day shooting at the Tel Aviv café in the same way they applaud the murder of Mrs. Meir. That’s a lesson the Obama administration has steadfastly refused to learn in its seven years in office. More than any other of his predecessors, President Obama beat up on Israel over the presence of Jews in the West Bank and broke new ground by also stigmatizing the Jewish presence and the building of homes in Jerusalem. The Obama administration sent the message that Jews in the West Bank were illegitimate and the result is that the Palestinians haven’t been forced to reassess their obsession with driving them out of their homes and instead make peace. Worse than that, they’ve refused to understand that the Palestinians make no real distinctions between the “occupation” of the West Bank and the “occupation” of pre-1967 Israel. Unless and until Palestinians stop seeing the murder of Jews, whether in Tel Aviv or in the Hebron hills, as not merely defensible but laudable, there will be no peace and their lives won’t get better. That’s because, so long as they are trapped in the mindset of a century-long war on Zionism, they will continue to allow their political leaders to refuse to make peace and to mire their society in hate and corruption. Until then Israelis, even the majority that would happily trade land for true peace, know that any more territorial concessions will only lead to more terrorism and death as the 2005 withdrawal from Gaza did. So long as Palestinians prefer to make martyrs — a true martyr in the form of a woman who died defending her children and a false on in the form of her heartless murderer — to making peace the rest of the world should refuse to play along with their propaganda demonizing the Jews of Otniel or those of Tel Aviv. Instead, they should realize that the hate that drives these Palestinian murderers is no different from the Islamists that murdered the people of Paris and San Bernardino. ============================================================================================= 5) ) === 6) The Lactation Brigade   An Army Marches on its Lactation       An officer sent me a copy of a memorandum for record concerning the US Army’s most recent lactation and breastfeeding policies, signed by the new Secretary of the Army, Eric K. Fanning and dated November 10, 2015. My first reaction was to pop a couple Tums even before starting to read it. As I scanned the document, I realized how far the Army has fallen on its sword. The sword of feminism, the sword of lunacy has completely eviscerated the lean green machine, so that it is the US Army in name only now. The magnificent fighting force that was born at Lexington and Concord in 1775; the spectacular fighting force that stormed the gates of Chapultepec, that found itself divided and fought each other at Gettysburg, only to be reborn as brothers again on San Juan Hill; the phenomenal US Army that threw back the Hun in 1918, and saved the world in 1945; the incredibly brave force that fought in Korea, and never lost a major battle in Vietnam; th e professionals who restored a nation’s pride in 1991 and who gave all that mortality can give from 2001 until now is dying. The US Army is fading out like an elephant on its last breaths, a mastodon being consumed by hordes of politically correct and feminist ants, who seek to devour it from the inside out and outside in. The US Army has but one mission, that mission is to fight and win our nation’s wars. In the past, the US Army won wars for a myriad of reasons, but there were several tenets that were a common thread throughout our history. The Army had dedicated professionals, men who weren’t hesitant to do what needed to be done to destroy the enemy violently and quickly, rough and ready men who always accomplished the mission; soldiers who “drained deep the chalice of courage.” The US Army of 2016 has been feminized. It has been turned upside down to accommodate the policies of extremists who have never served a day in unifo rm and never will. The mission of the US Army is not to be a repository for left wing, feminist policies that seek to weaken the force, in order to push absurd mandates that have nothing to do with fighting and winning wars. The US Army is so caught up in trying to placate the whims and fancies of feminists and left wing nuts, that the mission of the Army is now second place. The old Army adage, “the mission first, then the men” has been replaced with “social engineering, gender neutrals and feminists first and somewhere after that the mission, if we can still accomplish it.” In my life, I never thought it would get this bad in the Army that lactation and breastfeeding memos were being sent to Special Operations Command, but have no doubt the Boys at Bragg got the memo too. Whether Delta Force and the Green Berets are lactating is unknown at the current time. Here are some highlights from the memo: “Commanders are responsible for notifying all soldiers of this breastfeeding and lactation support policy during initial pregnancy counseling.” There’s nothing to enhance the combat power of a unit more than a platoon of pregnant soldiers. “Soldiers who want to breast feed upon return to duty will notify their chain of command as soon as possible. This notification allows commanders to determine how to best support the soldier and ensure a workplace with appropriate space for expressing milk.” “Commanders will designate a private space, other than a restroom, with locking capabilities for a soldier to breast feed or express milk. This space must include a place to sit, a flat surface (other than the floor) to place the pump on, an electrical outlet, and access to a safe water source within reasonable distance from the lactation space.” Roger that sir! The lactation station will be next to the M1 range when we go to Graf. We’ve stripped an old M113 and refitted it with everything a young mother would want in a child’s nursery. The 113 will also be able to snorkel should the mother in question need to breast feed during a river crossing operation. You know our motto sir… First to Lactate! Good job, Major, put yourself in for a Pink Star. It’s a new medal the Pentagon has approved to replace the Silver Star, which was thought to be too representative of the old male military culture. “Commanders will ensure that soldiers have adequate time to express milk but must be aware that each soldier’s situation is unique. The time required to express breast milk varies and depends on several factors, including the age of the infant, amount of milk produced, quality of the pump, and distance the pumping location is from the workplace, as well as how conveniently located the water source is from the pump location. For ex ample, new mothers commonly express milk every 2 to 3 hours for 15 to 30 minutes, but this timeframe may change as the child ages. When a child is 6 months old and begins eating solid foods, the number of breaks a soldier needs to breast feed or express milk may decrease. Lactation support personnel at military treatment facilities or through TRICARE are available to help soldiers develop individualized plans. Commanders will provide reasonable lactation breaks for soldiers for at least 1 year after the child’s birth.” Colonel, why haven’t you started the attack? Sir, we still have several soldiers breastfeeding. You know it’s a court martial offense to initiate combat operations while soldiers are breastfeeding. It’s too bad because we have a perfect opportunity to exploit the enemy now. Damn Army regs. Lactation comes first. You know what the corps commander said last week, “There’s no substitute for lactation.” “Soldiers must supply the equipment needed to pump and store their breast milk. TRICARE covers the purchase of the breast pump. Soldiers who are breastfeeding or expressing milk remain eligible for field training, mobility exercises, and deployment (after completing their postpartum deployment deferment period). During field training and mobility exercises, commanders will provide private space for Soldiers to express milk. If the Soldier (or designated personnel) cannot transport expressed milk to garrison, the Soldier’s commander will permit her the same time and space to express and discard her breast milk with the intent to maintain physiological capability for lactation. Commanders should work with the supporting medical officer to determine whether milk storage and/or transportation will be feasible during the exercise.” Think about the words of this last bit of craziness. Breastfeeding and deployment used in the same sentence. Field exercises and breastfeeding are now mutually compatible; breast milk in the field. Hey, Sarge, what’s in that Mermite? Oh, just some breast milk.  As I said before, the US Army has gone completely off its rocker. The US Army is now longer a cohesive fighting force. The US Army is now a nursery in camouflage. Of course the bad guys that we’ll be fighting one day; the Iranians, the Russians, the Chinese, ISIS all fight wars with men, the old fashioned way. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that our Army of lactation and breast-feeding policies is set to be handed a defeat that is going to be Biblical. Napoleon once said that an army marches on its stomach. In the surreal world of 2016, the US Army now marches on its lactation. ===============================================================================================
