"You may have watches, but we have the time."

I remember being told this aforementioned quote while I was serving in the Middle East in combat operations. I think it is quite obvious that to which the maxim alludes, it is about strategic patience and resolve. Islamists, and especially the number one sponsor of Islamic terrorism, Iran, are focused on a long game, not a few weeks. It is important that we remember that Iran has been targeting America for nearly 47 years, and the consequences have been deadly and unforgivable. There has been a two-week ceasefire established with Iran, but can Iran, meaning the regime leadership, be trusted?

My answer is a simple no, and it is rooted in Islamic history, which some continue to whitewash into a favorable perspective. One need only study the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, circa 628 AD, to understand the Islamist view on negotiations and agreements. When Muhammad sought to invade and conquer Mecca, he was confronted by a Quraysh tribe whose strength he had miscalculated. He entered into a 10-year treaty for peace, which he violated after just three years, after he had expanded the size of his own force. He then invaded and conquered Mecca, subsequently defeating the Quraysh. The example established for Islamists is to enter into "agreements" for only one purpose: to eventually gain an advantage........
