and you deislamize it by using the best tactical weapon ever conceived that we no longer have.

The Neutron Bomb.


I think the B-83 would do a good job of it, and we have plenty of those lying around.

Yep the reason Obama is a Community Organizer(speech giver) ,he useless at everything else

It's worse than that. It's deliberate ..... and coached, by people both near at hand and in capitals far away.

Yep, “Hearts and Minds”, a proven winning strategy... Or not.

I've heard that full broadsides of 16" at 20,000 yards work pretty well with people like that.

Other people have written lyrically about B-52H's.

Maybe we could borrow back a few from the Chinese Communists.

Get rid of the Saudis and it will go away. They are the head of the snake. Islam started in Saudi.

I was watching some real-life movie about Afghanistan (”Restrepo” maybe?) and they are in a bit of a shooting exchange between them and a couple of houses.

This muslim guy walks between the two houses, and once he enters the shooting starts up again. He was no doubt the shooter, and using the two places for two different effective positions. But when he walked between them he wasn't carrying a firearm - so our guys couldn't shoot him!

In another battle they storm some small building where guys were shooting at them. One of our soldiers kills a guy as he storms into the dark room. Then immediately shouts something like “Oh crap - I thought he had a gun! He's got a gun doesn't he!!?? I'm in trouble aren't I!!?? Oh crap!” Just went off un-hinged. (The muslim had fallen on his gun).

The last thing I told my son before he shipped out to Iraq was: “If there’s any doubt, pull the damned trigger.”
