Maybe if we'd take the darned gloves off and quit playing politically correct; maybe if we had the guts to fight this like a war, and not try and please everyone in the US who has no clue of the brutality we are facing; maybe just maybe if these idiots were afraid of the US, if they had some respect for us. Maybe THEN they would stop killing us.

Anyone who doubts that the Islamic world respects strength not weakness needs look no farther back that January 1981. After holding US diplomats and servicemen hostage in our embassy in Tehran; after over a year of Jimmy Carter trying to negotiate and even on occasion trying to act tough; Ronald Reagan's inauguration began.

Reagan made it clear that he was going to kick some Islamic butt when he took office. The powers that be in Tehran believed him. Before the inauguration was complete, the hostages cleared Iranian airspace on their way home.

We need to learn from our history. How much clearer can it be?

Negotiating + terrorists = more terrorists
kicking butt + terrorists = less terrorism

Sorry - today I am angry - not at anyone here on the thread - but at the direction this world is going in. We're more concerned about some lady soldier laughing and pointing at a terrorists private parts than we are about the bodies of 4 more American contracts being found tortured and desecrated in a shallow grave in Iraq, or about the murder of a woman and her 4 young daughters and her unborn son in Gaza.

There's something wrong here.

"Negotiating + terrorists = more terrorists kicking butt + terrorists = less terrorism"

Amen to that.

the only thing the scumbags understand is fear of someone stronger than them. They have gained bravado from recent wins ie: Madrid bombing and pullouts of 3-4 countries from Iraq and some skirmishes in Iraq Fallujah (they use our pullback as a victory) and Najaf (can't go in there because of the holy mosques) which by the way are stockpiled with weapons.

"Today I am Angry".......

I hope it is catching......like pass on the anger!

Have the radio on and am ashamed to say that I find the callers are more concerned on hanging a serviceman for the "torture" of the poor terrorists, than in the need to fight a war and win.

If this terrorist season is not stopped and stopped now, we will not have a country. I don't think our only fear is from the muslims, but from the rest of the world's crazies as well.


Wish that I was near enough to give you a big hug.

Thank you for all that you do.

>> Maybe if we'd take the darned gloves off and quit playing politically correct <<

Here's my idea: we make a list of cities like Damascus that are terrorist nests. We lock a Titan C4 onto each of these target cities. We then let EVERYONE know that another attack on US soil will cause the destruction of each and every one of theses cities IMMEDIATELY.

It's a very simple plan: You hit us, we'll hit you back HARDER.

I agree with you SP2BF. I'm hoping that once Bush wins in November that we will see him play MAJOR HARDBALL. He'll have 4 years to do what he needs to do to get the job done with no fear of the elections.

"There's something wrong here."

For sure. My grand illusions about society ended a long time ago.

I agree with you wholeheartedly SP2BF. No one even wants to hear about the true evil. It's completely amazing to me.

I am also angry.
