Preparing for Invasion

[Replies: 115]
On July 16, 1940, Hitler issued a top-secret
directive to prepare for an invasion of Great Britain.
The plan was to defeat the Royal Air Force and
land 250,000 German soldiers along the English
coast. What must it have been to experience the
threat of such an invasion?

It does appear that we've been invaded and have begun to lose our way. Shame! I was just reliving the postings leading up to and then on Sept 11, '01. Burr, shivers and shakes That seems just like yesterday.

Why should those other countries care? They figure if they get destroyed in a war with us that we' ll burden our taxpayers to rebuild them. The only thing is this, we did that before to keep countried from becoming communist. That' s gone now. Why should we rebuild countries that suck us into war. We had built up Iran but the Islamic group took over. We' d have to destroy all of the Islamic centers and that' s not feasible.We are shown pictures of ruined villages and people suffering which evokes empathy due to our Western culture but their leaders don' t care. The people are used for propaganda and cannon fodder. They don' t think as we do. That' s what makes us vulnerable in the long run.They use our decency against us and are always plotting.

Lane,

re: double posts...I seem to be having the same problem her too sometimes.

Re: French ties with SH...North's right on the mark...but not only the French, but Germany and Russia, and China, and N. Korea too...What? You say these are the same nations that will not support us and are threatening to vote against us in the UN? Yeah, I'd bet money you could find "Made In France...Germany...Russia...China...North Korea" stamped on the parts that make up SH's WMDs....

Go figure...
Oh, I've yet to hear other news outlets bring up this fact.

Hope this isn't a double post. My first seems to have disappeared.
Doug,
Thanks for that article. I was watching Fox & Friends this morning and Ollie North was on and jumped on the French with both feet. He indicated that Jacques Chirac doesn't want the invasion because of evidence that may be found to link him with Saddam.
I think it is this Sunday that Ollie is going to have on his show on Fox at 9 P.M. the invasion of North Africa in 1942 when the French fired on and killed hundres of our soldiers. I suppose this would have been the "Torch" Landings against the Vichy French. Of course, the French only lasted about 3 days before they surrendered. Typical of their military stamina.

Doug, thanks for the reprint.
What the article doesn't say is that implicit pressure is now on the countries who aren' t supporting us, especially France and Germany, France, whom we have rescued several times and Germany whom we rebuilt after the atrocities they committed. By their attitude they are isolating themselves from Europe as well as us and are mistaken if they think we' ll kiss their asses to get them to support us. If their attitude doesn' t change or does merely when we' re about to attack(just to say they were with us), they may find themselves on the short end of the stick if there is a war.IMHO.

I heard on Fox and Friends on FOXNEWS this morning that SH is having all the bodies of women and children that have/are dying currently (under [other] circumstances) frozen and stored so that they can be scattered around in the rubble after our bombing starts over there...so that the international news media can make it look as if we are killing innocents in Iraq.
Yet, another example of that famous SH/Iraqi [Hollywood] productions...the same one that brought you "BABY MILK FACTORY" scribbled in English on a piece of plywood...

Yeah, SH can be "reasoned" with...

OK...Since the HBO Dave/Paul is being snooty again today and selectively posting/not posting our messages on certain boards, and this being a 2nd post of mine being sucked into the Triangle....

This is a great site I heard about today.
