...he’s willing to give Obama the benefit of the doubt and assume he’s simply lying to the Jews in order to get elected.

My thoughts exactly.

SM: Is there a Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S.?

Mohamed Habib: I would say yes. There are Muslim Brotherhood members there.

SM: Then what are they doing there?

Mohamed Habib: No, there are already existing institutions; there are laws and a constitution that they operate under in order to have a role in serving the American society. They are part of the American society and they want to an active positive role in it, and a part of that is to spread a positive image of Islam along with its values, culture, history and teachings.

SM: This is naturally very important. Who represents you in the US?

Mohamed Habib: Well, there are there those who do represent us, who do that role.

SM: But it’s not CAIR, right? The Council for American Islamic Relations? Many people say that they are your front. Other people say that its ISNA. But back to CAIR, some people from the Muslim Brotherhood have denied having a connection with CAIR. Do they really represent you?

Mohamed Habib: Ehh, this is a sensitive subject, and it’s kind of problematic, especially after 9/11 …

SM: For them to say that there is a relationship between you two?

Mohamed Habib: Yes. You can say that.

Worthwhile enough interview, I guess.

But can this dude not come up with a better name than "Sandmonkey"? That's not cool, regardless of where he lives.

"he’s willing to give Obama the benefit of the doubt and assume he’s simply lying to the Jews in order to get elected."

I can't wait to see those mosques gone, but the best way would be with a real act of G-d - like an earthquake that topples them into the holes the Muslims dug underneath, thus forming the foundation for the Third Temple. Show the Muslims who worships the real G-d. (Hint - He isn't called "Allah")

An Egyptian may have much less concern for things that we Americans might shy away from as ethnic slurs.

We have whole industries, schools of thought and political careers built on building ethnic guilt here in the states. Egypt's political environment is much less likely to reflect our views on such issues simply because it has a completely different history and political environment.

It is too easy sometimes to project our values on a foreign culture and to forget that their way of seeing the world is likely to be very different from our own.

Soviet tanks have at best, a 120mm gun. Standard ammo is sabot rounds which are just a hard dart set into a piece of plaster or pop metal which falls away as soon as it exits the tube. Those mght penetrate the side armor, but most explosive ord is belowand would be safe, unlike a tank where the ammo is inside the turret.

Shouldn't someone in Homeland Security be actively investigating who the Muslim Brotherhoods little friends are here in the USA? Is Club Gitmo full or something?

I think the MB guy is a little off-base since it will be President, ooops, Vice President Biden leading the country. Obama will go around making speeches and looking pretty. Kind of what they accused Cheney of doing with Bush. Barry would probably get lost going to the bathroom in the White House. Out of his league, the poor, potentially actually Kenyan or Indonesian, guy !

A cursory search shows the M1A! Abrams, can be accurate to 4000m, so 3 miles is not outlandish. However, how many tanks would need to be massed and firing accurately to actually sink a cruiser?

re: #89 itellu3times
Max range is how far the shell will go. Effective range is what you can hit. M1s were making kills at over 2000 meters during GWI. T72(old sov. shit) were maybe effective at 1200 meters. They can up anchor fast if they have to, and they are probably at Condition II, which is all vital systems manned. Engineering, Weapons, Bridge, CiC. Don't envy those guys, probably port and starboard watches. 6 hrs on/6 hrs off.

Some naval WW2 battles lasted hours with direct hits eventually sinking a large ship, using MUCH larger shells.

re: #89 itellu3times

For any gun, it depends on the trajectory you're using, and the sort of target you're firing at.

A tank penetrator round is fired on a flat trajectory. A tank would raise its gun to fire high explosive round. If fired at a ship (to use your example), the round would travel high in the air on a parabolic course, and would have a much greater range.

I don't know the maximum range of the L55 120 mm gun, although I am sure that it depends on the kind of ammunition fired and it's a lot more than 2,000 meters!

re: #102 Shay4l

re: #80 sattv4u2

In one sence this is correct -- the Ikhwan/Brotherhood is a very loose collection of organizations. Even in the US, they tend to organize in ethnic/national groups.

Hamas is an outgrowth of the Palestinian Ikhwan.

BUT all of these groups support each other.

I'm no expert on any of this, tanks aren't designed to sink destroyers, what I really meant is that while it's in port or near enough, it's vulnerable to all sorts of nonsense, jihadis on rubber raft maybe a little less than previously but even so.

re: #95 itellu3times

I assume they have a few HE rounds.

Not sure what the armor thickness is on DDG Cruisers, but am certain a tank HE round would lack the power to penetrate it. They would need a HEAT high explosive anti tank, or HESH high explosive squash head round to have any effect. The Cruisers are built to withstand impaacts from heavy ship guns, and the T-72 are not up to the task.

On a side note, I heard a second hand story from a Navy guy who was on the Jersey. He claimed it was hit on his turret by an Exocet. The only damage was scorched paint.

re: #108 JeremyR
Sounds true. The Missouri took a hit from a kamikaze about 4 ft abouve the water line. Scorched paint and a dent where the engine nacelle hit.

I was thinking about the HMS Hood earlier. She was hit in a perfect spot by a battleship round. I doubt a tank round would have had the same result.

Anyway, if a destroyer lays up in range of a massed tank position, it's possible it could be sunk, but it would be most unusual.

And Hood's armor was after the fashion of WW1 ships, reasonable thick and well-sloped on the sides at the waterline, but light on the decks and not effective against a plunging shell. The later's what got her.

This of course requires the creation of a society that values justice, equality, and freedom....

A simple way to do this is to embrace the Christian faith of the original Egyptians, the [E-]Copt[ian]s. Or go back a few centuries before that and embrace the Greco-Roman and Egyptian paganism that was there before the entire region became the most influential part of the Christian church in the Fourth to Sixth Centuries. Paganism is still better than your heretical, bastardized, misanthropic faith promoted by a "possessed" man.

Sorry but no. Modern warships are not armored to stop even medium caliber rounds. The old BBs were and we can't get that steel any more. Warships today depend on engaging the enemy at a distance and damage control to avoid and if need be survive combat damage. The assumption is that the ship will be engaged at sea with a missile that will be stopped by either another missile (RAM) or a machine gun (CIWS). Modern ships are very vulnerable when in port.

So the #2 in the Muslim Brotherhood confirms they have a relationship with CAIR. Isn't the MB a recognized terrorist org? Aren't these the guys who killed Sadat? Is this not enough grounds to ban CAIR? Am I too drunk?

AFAIC, I think your sensitivity is just lovely, BUT, I can also tell where the guy is coming from. You are also clever enough to see that he meant it ironically. But it's fairly obvious that he's being very "in your face" about it, & is perhaps even taking a jab at PC with his name. I liken it to the way gays will use the word "queer" that anti-gay people had made up for them.
