Fight Terror: 'Leave Behind Smoking Ruins & Crying Widows'(Ralph Peters on O'Reilly)
Fox News ^ | Friday, 9 January, 2015 | Staff

Lt. Col. Ralph Peters tonight gave a detailed plan to Bill O’Reilly on how he would fight terror.

“One: You accept that you are in a war. Two: You name the enemy, Islamist terrorists. Three: You get the lawyers off the battlefield […] you accept there will be collateral damage and you do not apologize for it. You do not nation build, you don’t try to hold ground. You go wherever in the world the terrorists are and you kill them, you do your best to exterminate them, and then you leave and you leave behind smoking ruins and crying widows. In in five or 10 years they reconstitute and you gotta go back, you go back and do the same thing, and you never, never, never send American troops into a war you don’t mean to win,” Peters said.

Personally, I wouldn’t even leave those behind.

This is likely how war planners spoke before we became a world of timid, politically correct she-men.

War means death and destruction and no apologies.

If you can't do that, then you just need to stay home and wait for the chains to be put upon you.

Only to spread the story over generations of the white ghosts from America wreaking havoc in the night and leaving death in their wake. Fear is a great motivator.

“...You go wherever in the world the terrorists are and you kill them, you do your best to exterminate them, and then you leave and you leave behind smoking ruins and crying widows...”

Patton and LeMay would be applauding right now.

Because they’d know he was right.

If he’d stand up and call for action I’d follow him anywhere.

Sadly, we will never do what he says we have to do. Why? Because the UN doesn’t want to stop islam. Not until they take down America. And the gop is involved just as much as the democrats. I can’t for the life of me figure out why they want the US destroyed and how they’re doing it so easily. It simply has to be evil.

Hunt them down, kick in the door, shoot them in their bed, and bury them with pigs.

I also say we were wrong to take out Saddam Hussein. He kept the radicals in check for the most part. He like his Armanti suits and Rolls Royces.

Agree. The mamby pamby way we fight wars now is pathetic.

Smoking ruins and crying widows works for me. And A+++ for the no nation building B.S. also.

Leave them to stew in their own filth.

In fact, send our swat teams to kick in the doors and shoot them in their beds. They’re already trained and want to kill someone. Let ‘em kill the real enemy.

How do you deal with Muslim terrorists?

Just ask Conan what is best in life?

“To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!”
