What a moron this Seth Jones is. He’s absolutely refusing to acknowledge the source of Islamic jihad in the Qur’an and ahadith. Let me refer all of you to the case of one Maj. Coughlin in the Pentagon months ago whose role was slowly de-funded because he had the temerity to suggest that jihad does indeed describe, legitimately so, the war doctrine of Islam. To just say the jihadists are not holy warriors and are only criminals is stupid beyond comprehension. Seth Jones is working for people who have agreed to accept the Saudi offensive against Westerners who have named this beast correctly.
This isn’t a matter of cops vs. the military. That’s besides the point. First, you have to be grounded in reality, and Seth Jones and the people he represents are not so grounded. You cannot de-legitimize people who know Islamic scripture and the authoritative ahadith by saying that they are not legit. That only works with fools. And the jihadists are not fools. Maybe Seth Jones and other people in the U.S. government are fools, but not the jihadists.
Playing the game as Seth Jones suggests only puts us back into the whack-a-mole mode. And how would he explain the statement that was made to Thomas Jefferson, then an ambassador, by the diplomatic representative of the Barbary nations? Those people told Mr. Jefferson that under their Qur’an and Islamic Law they had a right to wage jihad against all unbelievers on the high seas. Thomas Jefferson then read the Qur’an and got it right. He had the right doctrine: you wage war against these people. You slam the mailed fist right into their faces and you bust ‘em up.
The Saudis and other Islamic leaders are getting their money’s worth with RAND.
