I do, because Muslims are not capable of democracy. This is the basic neocon premise that must be rejected. Iraqis are not Europeans after WWII. The only thing they can accomplish is tinpot dictators and theocracies.
The entire country isn't a "military threat"
So lets pick the regions that are, and turn them to rubble. But you won't even grant that granularity. Heck, you won't even let us turn mosques and "hospitals" (read: insurgent bases) to rubble from the air.
War isn't pretty...it's not something that can...if done effectively...be wrapped up in a bow in 100 hours or conducted from effictively from the safety of the wild blue yonder. It's a down on the ground...dirty...bloody and yes deadly business. If you don't have the stones to do something like that yourself...fine...I have no problem with that...but by God you need to get the hell out of the way of those of us that DO pack the proper equipment to go ahead with what needs to be done and not leave until it's finished.
You aren't following your own logic. War isn't pretty - so lets use the biggest non-nuclear weapons we've got to kill the enemy. But you want to wage war by the Marquis of Queensbury boxing rules.
He's THERE, you idiot!!
Do you realize how stupid you look??
txradioguy is risking his life to keep you safe and free, and you're insulting him openly and saying unbelieveably ridiculous things about him??
C'mon! NO one is this braindead!
You sir are a hypocrite as well as an ------- [fill in the blank]
What country are you living in? There's no WAY you are living here in the U.S. and prattling on like this.
Either that or you are the most CLUELESS person I've met when it comes to fighting an asymmetrical war.
I could say, "Boy, you are truly a Masshole. Massachusetts finest, just like Barney, Ted and John F'n." But I won't, as that would be insulting. Almost as insulting as saying, "Muslims are not capable of democracy." Or "Heck, you won't even let us turn mosques and "hospitals" (read: insurgent bases) to rubble from the air."
May I ask how long you were in the Air Force, since you seem to have this fixation with bombing people?
Japan was a complete theocratic, emperor-worshipping, militaristic, samuari-sword head-chopping society. We won against them and now they are, thank the Lord, a democracy. You have absolutely no credentials to make the statement that the muslims can never have democracy. Maybe, just maybe, they won't make a democracy in Iraq. But it's sure as all get out not going to happen if we leave them now.
