It's not a new tactic, you realize that? It was used in WWII, Korean War, Vietnam and practically every other war. This is war folks...

Are we talking in English here? I'm missing something here. Eddie says to this post:

Does anyone here KNOW the definition of submissive? Let's check it out:
One Look: # adjective: willing to submit without resistance to authority; deferent.
That's a slave man. So NO Eddie, they wouldn't know what their husbands were doing, they aren't mates like we have here in the West.
Keep telling yourself that though, maybe that will make this type of action, just like the terrorists, paletable. It's easier when they are not people, just words on a screen.

Yes they would know what was going on. But they would be too scared to admit it openly. Come on man, you pull me down when you only have to think of human nature and instincts here. If your wife was having an affair, do really think she would telll you straight away? NO!, but that wouldnt stop you suspecting some thing was wrong now would it?
The same principle applies here too..............

Um, NO it doesn't, you are ascribing Western thinking on a different culture. Doesn't work, well, yeah it does if all you want to do is justify abuse of families.

You know it, and i know it.
Instincts prevail here. People are not stupid, give them some credit here, not that they have a sub logical way of thinking because they are from a different culture. They have the same instincts the same as you or I. Maybe better in some instances.
One of the most important ways in which the Muslim woman obeys her husband is by respecting his wishes with regard to the permissible pleasures of daily life, such as social visits, food, dress, speech, etc. The more she responds to his wishes in such matters, the happier and more enjoyable the couple’s life becomes, and the closer it is to the spirit and teachings of Islam.
The Muslim woman does not forget that her obedience to her husband is one of the things that may lead her to Paradise, as the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“If a woman prays her five daily prayers, fasts her month (of Ramadan), obeys her husband and guards her chastity, then it will be said to her: ‘Enter Paradise by whichever of its gates you wish.’” 14
Umm Salamah (radhiallahu anha) said:
“ Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘Any woman who dies, and her husband is pleased with her, will enter Paradise.’” 15
Kids, wives, first cousins second removed. OR do we just BLOW THE ShIT OUT of anyone that isn't on our side.

Wow! so america has been doing this since what 50, 60 years or even longer ago? how backward are you gonna go?
and BTW, where's the formal declaration of war??? I haven't seen congress declare it yet..
The reason they do is they are too flipping stupid to win playing fair which says a whole lot about the intelligence level of our armed forces these days and the current administration.
We're fighting savages who have no code of honor or morality..
