People are protesting but the media is ignoring it. How much flesh do you have in the game?

I would like to see a whole lot more of shock and awe! We need to be as brutal as possible. It is the only thing the islimes understand. Thin um out, big time.

I'm willing to bet that any casualties from hereon out can be charged to the latest Rules of Engagement (ROE).

We're going back to the bad ol' days of VietNam where we had to engage with one hand tied behind our backs...we were never in it to win!

What ever happened to media's daily body count, and pictures of caskets being unloaded at airports, the interviews of their tearful grieving families expressing their anger at Obama.

The mobs of angry protesters- Code pinko's, Moveon. org, angry 9/11 mothers howling about Obama's illegal war, how Obama is bullying poor Islamic nations and dictating how they should live, and the war crimes Obama is committing, killing innocent 'civilians, and all the " no blood for oil", impeach Obama now! Joe Biden should be investigated to war crimes and violations of the Geneva convention picket signs splashed across front pages?

Funny how that all just vanished, and poor little Cindy She-man can't even get a local small town newspaper reporter to cover her protest.
