you should write for Carney... 8^)He didn’t say “no Libyan blood on our hands” - -
But I bet that was the real reason.
you should write for Carney... 8^)Probably closer to truth than satire this time. At least we have 3 names to fire.
John Semmens ~:” Panetta added. “As it now stands, only four Americans were killed. If we had sent in troops there likely would’ve been more casualties on both sides. By declining to charge in we at least have no Libyan blood on our hands.”
If I , or my country, is being attacked , I really don’t care about the attackers nationality .
An “attack” is still an attack ,even if they are being attacked by stones.
There were no innocent Libyians fireing RPG’s , or automatic weapons at the compound ; chances are they were Muslim Buddiehood looking to use the incident as an excuse for successful strategy , additional munitions , and “a Sh*tload of American money “.
Laser painted targets are not innocent observers !
You have demonstrated that adherance to “Der Leader” agenda supercedes logic !
Unfortunately this sounds more like the truth than satire. This whole situation makes me sick to my stomach.
Thank you for keeping me in your list for all these years, through all my deployments... But I don’t recall you ever calling your articles out as satire... Were you made to do this? Part of the fun was seeing all the bites you would get.
My favorite bites:
- “First, we couldn’t be sure how many attackers were involved. Was it 50, 100? Without knowing this we couldn’t be sure how many reinforcements to send.”
- “Maybe if those under attack had simply surrendered they would have been taken alive. We couldn’t risk negating this potential option.”
- “If we had sent in troops there likely would’ve been more casualties on both sides. By declining to charge in we at least have no Libyan blood on our hands.”
- “It’s hard to appreciate the bigger picture when you’re in fear for your life. Those of us with broader responsibilities must maintain a calmer demeanor and balance the costs and benefits of escalating the confrontation.”
John, you did something deeper/wider with this “article”. I read it and laughed out loud. Others read it and wrote the serious comments above. Thanks for your effort.
WOW John! THAT one hits on the mark. THAT’s precisely the attitude of Leftist’s as we’ve seen before. Thinking back on “Collateral damage”, “Death Panels”, and the like. These asshats of the Left haven’t any respect for yours, nor my life whatsoever, but I’d sure like to see one of them when they have to face the business end whimpering, and pleading of an enemy weapon themselves.
Hopefully we’ll see them whimpering, and pleading in court one of these days.
Moreover, Obama wants to make it perfectly clear that he did not in theory officially request the denial of a virtual authorization for a proposed rescue mission by operatives whose potential existence cannot be confirmed for reasons of national security.
You put “satire” right at the beginning and you’re still fooling people. Excellent
