"Where's Gen. Patton when we need him?"

I was thinking about Curtis LeMay.

" The decision to reverse three decades of American airpower doctrine with incendiary attacks against Japanese cities raises profound questions of morality and legality."

Where's Gen. Patton when we need him?

In due time, the Second Amendment will be our salvation. The Founders were wise indeed.

For every hostage that is killed, we drop one nuclear
warhead over a muslim city of our choosing. And dont detonate it above ground. Let the sucker impact.
That's how you stop this nonsense. For every hostage that
dies, we kill 10,000. The only thing these bastards understand is brute force. It's all they respect. Any weakness on our part gets us more trouble. Turn the other
cheek and get that one slapped too. As long as they think they can needle us, this will continue. Our response has to be so total, so complete, and so overwhelmingly brutal,
that any thought of attacking us is horrifying.

I know we'd never do it of course. But the maybe just the mere threat of it would cause them to sit up and take notice.

We need a media blackout for 48 hrs.

Two days from now, we turn on our TV's and see that eveything is under control.

...No questions asked...ever...

[tazman3]

ditto!

Sadly, we don't have a General of his caliber to turn loose any more.

If we did, he'd be guaranteed employment for at least a decade.

[Principled]

No specifics at all! C'mon, you can do better than that. You look silly posting generalities with no substantation whatsoever.

As I said, have another beer. No zot needed for such foolishness.

[IamHD]

Oh dear God! My prayers to this man and his family!

[BlessedByLiberty]

Hear! Hear! And a muzzle on any pol who says the words Watergate or Viet Nam! Better yet, let's send the Viet Nam crowd (Kennedy/Byrd) over as exchanges for hostages.

[tazman3]

That's a bit too extreme but we could bring back the B-52s and immediately flatten every building our troops are receiving fire from.

[ladyinred]

I don't agree one bit that the President has made a bad move, thank you very much.

[Principled]

How about explaining what the two sides are, righty. That'll get you somewhere. But simply posting generalities (the same type of which are heard on NPR and CSPAN seminar calls) only makes you look foolish or young or both.

[Tommyjo]

"Many suspect Mr. Hamill of being only another anti-war activist"

How many "anti-war activists" do you know that are employed in support of the US Army in Iraq? A US military spokesman has already confirmed that a civilian contractor is missing after a convoy was attacked.

[Pukin Dog]

Just passing along what I heard.

[DefCon]

"...or Bush lately doing everything wrong ..."
- - -
I can't think of anything at the moment.
Why don't you show me your list?
Or if you don't want to do that,
then why don't you just STFU?

[Pukin Dog]

He got the hook already. Another troll.

[Shaun_MD]

Like I said, we won't do it of course. But they know we won't do it. Therein lies the problem. As much as it would
gratify myself and others to completley turn the middle east into a graveyard, we can't. We are there to build, not
destroy. Killing all the bad guys won't cure anything for long. The disease (islam) will remain until we fix the environment in which the disease flourishes.

[Doc On The Bay]

SOMETIMES a "Diseased Area" requires "CAUTERY!!"

We Won the "War" Too Smoothly.

We May Need to "Demonstrate" the reason why we won to a few "Reluctant Warriors."

Perhaps a "REALLY BIG EXPLOSION" annihilating a bunch of the "Bad Guys" will "Get 'The Point Across!!'"

Doc

[sully777]

He asked to be zotted?!

[tazman3]

The disease (islam) will remain until we fix the environment in which the disease flourishes.

If you are implying the paletinian terrorist groups in and around Israel, I agree. From my perspective, that IS and should be our focal point. We are treating the symptoms piece meal and not the root. Helping Israel to fix thier problem should send a message to the rest.

But we know that's not gonna happen any time soon.

[John Lenin]

The silence is deafening
