Killing Terrorists or Kids?

The collateral damage seems to be far exceeding the terrorist casualties. Apparently another seven children were killed yesterday. Just like the sanctions on Iraq with about a million woman and kids dead in the last 8 years.

See if you can spot any terrorists here. Those precision bombs again

There is no such thing as "innocent" enemy civilians. As long as they support their leaders they are guilty by association. War is a dirty business and we should have no reservations of sending the country into the stone age. Armies do not exist in a vacum, they receive logistical and moral support from the civilian population, that's just the way it is. We should give no quarter, just as they do not intend to give us any. That children die is too bad, better theirs than ours because that is the only choice we have.

re: your post #50.
What you said. Perfect.

Bump.

I keep reading this figure all over the place, and I can't help wondering if it is just that lie that keeps getting repeated until it looks like the truth.

Iraq is in the breadbasket of the world and there should be no excuse for people to starve. Besides which, the sanctions have ALWAYS allowed for the purchase of food, so if people are starving, it is because SADDAM has decided they will. You can't blame other countries for the decisions Saddam makes regarding the people he so ruthlessly rules!

do I have to post pictures of hijacked airliners full of innocent children, women, and men, crashing into buildings full of innocent children, women, and men. not to mention those that were killed in the rescue attempt.

HOW DARE YOU!!!

Killing children is killing children, end of story. If that is our foreign policy, OK, but at least have the guts to admit that's our strategy

I do not believe our strategy is killing kids, but I DO believe there are those who stand to profit from leading Americans to believe that is hapening. Note the dissent rising here...

PS Sorry about the spitting comment, it was over the top. But I still consider those who parrot facts they get from the UN to be the spreaders of anti-American propaganda.

"The US is killing innocent Afghani civilians because of bin Laden's actions."

That statement is correct, but there is a huge difference between what we are doing and what the terrorists are doing. I'm surprised you either can't see it, or (more likely) ignore it.

Here's the reason why the deaths of a few innocents in Afghnistan is NOT morally equivalent to the deaths of 5000 innocents here. The US is trying to kill its enemies, the terrorists. We are NOT targeting innocent civilians. In fact, we are trying to feed and warn the innocents. On the other hand Bin-laden was trying specifically to kill innocents who had nothing to do with the actions he was protesting (whatever they might be). Every statment that comes out from him or Omar talk about killing and destroying more americans indiscriminately.

If you can't see the difference, then I fear your IQ is inadequate to support independent life or you are a propagandist of the terrorists or their fellow travelers.

I don't really know for sure if there are any potential terrorists there or not, but I would guess so.

You would probably be right. Under Taliban control, they will either grow up to be terrorists and soldiers in the army of Islam, or they will not grow up.

[jimkress]

Nice try but it won't wash. bin Laden and his actions are the cause of any deaths in Afghanistan.

I'd suggest, if you are so concerned with the deaths of 'innocents', that you and your Arabic buddies get bin Laden to turn himself over to the American and British authorities.

A man can have sex with animals such as sheep¹s, cows, camels and so on. However he should kill the animal after he has his orgasm. He should not sell the meat to the people in his own village, however selling the meat to the next door village should be fine. Is this the Iranian version of "Love your neighbor, but only if he is your immediate neighbor."

I wouldn't be identifying too close with that moniker of BabylonXXX. We all know that, in the end, Babylon will only be a river of blood and corpses floating in it.

"We've been starving about that number to death every month for the last 10 years in Iraq."

"We've" been starving Iraqis?? WE?! Are you stupid or just delusional? Saddam prefers to spend money on weapons of mass destruction instead of on food for his people - If they are even starving at all - and that's OUR fault? I wish there was some way to transport you America haters to the heart of Saddam's benevolent dictatorship, if you aren't logging on from there already.

[Un-PC]

Well it didn't take long, did it. Now we are killing innocent civilians and referring to them as "collateral damage."

Some things never change.

God help us.

Are you sure these photos are not recycled from the 1991 Gulf War? We recall very similar ones used by Saddam Hussein and his ally CNN. This is elementary totalitarian propaganda technique. You should change your name to "not4allthetruth".

[Outrance]

YOOOoo Ernie, ( we are starving Iraqis, Only 2950 died at WTC). Saying outrageous and ridiculous things like that may be entertaining to you but it points to a severe emotional problem. Think about it. What you said was intended to outrage and churn up unfriendly responses. Why do you feel alienated and forced to say stupid things? See a therapist, There is no reason to go through life like this, there is help for you.

To Ernie and all his pals, The Trenton NJ post office is hiring.

If your going to make a taliban omlete your going to break some eggs. When the inocent civilian count over there reaches 10 times 6,000 then I'll start to fret. It's not like they weren't told this was coming unlike 9-11-01 and they didn't have plenty of time to get out of town.
