US Military Teaches Officers: Hiroshima Tactics for Total War on Islam
As the US continues to claim its respect to religions, the Pentagon was paying a US Army lieutenant colonel to indoctrinate servicemen with the notion that the entire Islam religion should be eradicated worldwide.
The US military taught its future leaders that a "total war" against the world's 1.4 billion Muslims would be necessary to protect America from Islamic terrorists, according to the documents.
Among the options considered for that conflict: using the lessons of "Hiroshima" to wipe out whole cities at once, targeting the "civilian population wherever necessary."
The course has been canceled by the Pentagon brass. It's only now, however, that the details of the class have come to light.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff recently ordered the entire US military to scour its training material to make sure it doesn't contain similarly hateful material, a process that is still ongoing. But the officer who delivered the lectures, Army Lt. Col. Matthew A. Dooley, still maintains his position at the Norfolk, Virginia college, pending an investigation. The commanders, lieutenant colonels, captains and colonels who sat in Dooley's classroom, listening to the inflammatory material week after week, have now moved into higher-level assignments throughout the US military.
For the better part of the last decade, a small cabal of self-anointed counterterrorism experts has been working its way through the US military, intelligence and law enforcement communities, trying to convince whoever it could that America's real terrorist enemy wasn't al-Qaida - but the Islamic faith itself. In his course, Dooley brought in these anti-Muslim demagogues as guest lecturers. And he took their argument to its final, ugly conclusion.
"We have now come to understand that there is no such thing as ‘moderate Islam,'" Dooley noted in a July 2011 presentation (.pdf), which concluded with a suggested manifesto to America's enemies. "It is therefore time for the United States to make our true intentions clear. This barbaric ideology will no longer be tolerated. Islam must change or we will facilitate its self-destruction."
The Forces Staff College spokesman Steven Williams declined to discuss Dooley's presentation or his status at the school. But when asked if Dooley was responsible for the course material, he responded, "I don't know if I would classify him [Dooley] as responsible. That would be the commandant" of the school, Maj. Gen. Joseph Ward.
That makes the two-star general culpable for rather shocking material. In the same presentation, Dooley lays out a possible four-phase war plan to carry out a forced transformation of the Islam religion. Phase three includes possible outcomes like "Islam reduced to a cult status" and "Saudi Arabia threatened with starvation."
International laws protecting civilians in wartime are "no longer relevant," Dooley continues. And that opens the possibility of applying "the historical precedents of Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki" to Islam's holiest cities, and bringing about "Mecca and Medina['s] destruction."
Dooley's ideological allies have repeatedly stated that "mainstream" Muslims are dangerous, because they're "violent" by nature.
"Some of these actions offered for consideration here will not be seen as ‘political correct' in the eyes of many," Dooley adds. "Ultimately, we can do very little in the West to decide this matter, short of waging total war."
