"...There's a sensitivity that I think all of us recognize..."

I am offended.

The best way to end war and ensure peace is to kill the enemy.

Kill the all.

THIS is a large, steaming, pile of male bovine feces. it does not matter where the bullet came from that has YOUR name on it, it kills you just as dead.
someone has too much time on their hands!!!

Blount, now the Army's assistant deputy chief of staff, said the Army had sufficient small caliber ammunition -- 5.56mm, 7.62mm and .50 caliber -- to conduct current operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.

Attention .50 cal gun grabbers! they called it SMALL.

"Use them on the F'n lawyers!"

Use the first one on Neil Abercrombie, the lawyers can have the rest.

[Woahhs]

Right now those 25 million are neutral toward us. Why pour gas on a fire?

They are not neutral; they're passive because of inferior numbers. Where they have sufficient strength, they impose their cultural mores... every time.

You can't name a single instance where moslems have voluntarily relinquished the goal of hegemony.

They will continue to behave where they have to, and continue to foment where they can.

Don't forget all the boiling outrage that erupted in Pakistan when we invaded Afghanistan. It continued for about two weeks... right up until they discovered we could put a missile on anything the size of a soup can if we want.

Again, why piss the 25 million off at this time, especially when we haven't gotten the country pacified? Do you want the Iraq operation to be a complete failure? Or, would you use everything in your arsenal, including psychology, to make sure we come out on top? Sure the Moslems hate us, but most of them are quiet about it and are more than content to just let us be. Start using the ammo of the one nation that unifies all Moslems everywhere to kill Moslems and that's all she wrote. Hell, even the rumor that we are using Israeli ammunition would be enough to enflame otherwise passive Moslems.

In other words, let's fight one battle at a time. There is no need to stack the deck against our efforts right now.

Sarge, can you believe this story? Total BS ping.

[Mr. Silverback]

Semper Fi and dipping my ammo in pig fat!

Seconded. Semper Fi!

[azhenfud]

If I were a U.S. soldier under fire, I wouldn't care who made the dadblasted bullets as long as they'd kill the perp in my sight.

I'll tell you, this islamite PC crap is gonna get a bunch of our soldiers killed and I'm for putting those asinine politicians right between our soldiers and the enemy - literally!

[wku man]

Someone was trying to explain to me the difference between the 'Rats and the Pubbies?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

"Again, why piss the 25 million off at this time, especially when we haven't gotten the country pacified?"

Would you prefer every bullet be etched:

"Made in Israel. P.S. -- Be my Valentine"??

[Imal]

Unbelievable.

[daybreakcoming]

How bout we drop him in the middle of Fallujah with nothing but Israeli bullets to use? What will he do - use them or hang from a bridge?

[95 Bravo]

Every time I think I've heard it all, a member of Congress proves me wrong. Our enemies can kill US soldiers using ammo from anywhere on Earth- including our "friends" France, Russia and Germany- and that's perfectly OK. But when we need ammo to kill terrorists, the hand-wringing nitwits on Capitol Hill get picky about where it comes from?UNBELIEVEABLE! Let the Islamo-Fascist murderers kill a few Congressmen and Senators and see how fast they change their tune! These morons do not represent America anymore. But it sure is comforting to know that the Taliban and Al-Qaida are well represented in Congress.
