"Fight like Vietnam, end like Vietnam"...
Time to take the gloves off, and devastate large areas of the Sunni Triangle of Death....
Let the death be THEIRS...
Deliver death to the cult of death on a large enough scale to satisfy their appetite.....
Semper Fi
At the risk of being redundant, I am posting my response to a similar thread. We should be instructed by the lessons of history. Rudyard Kipling knew those lessons well. Hear his words:
The Grave of the Hundred Head
There's a widow in sleepy Chester
Who weeps for her only son;
There's a grave on the Pabeng River,
A grave that the Burmans shun;
And there's Subadar Prag Tewarri
Who tells how the work was done.
A Snider squibbed in the jungle,
Somebody laughed and fled,
And the men of the First Shikaris
Picked up their Subaltern dead,
With a big blue mark in his forehead
And the back blown out of his head.
Subadar Prag Tewarri,
Jemadar Hira Lal,
Took command of the party,
Twenty rifles in all,
Marched them down to the river
As the day was beginning to fall.
They buried the boy by the river,
A blanket over his face --
They wept for their dead Lieutenant,
The men of an alien race --
They made a samadh in his honor,
A mark for his resting-place.
For they swore by the Holy Water,
They swore by the salt they ate,
That the soul of Lieutenant Eshmitt Sahib
Should go to his God in state,
With fifty file of Burmans
To open him Heaven's gate.
The men of the First Shikaris
Marched till the break of day,
Till they came to the rebel village,
The village of Pabengmay --
A jingal covered the clearing,
Calthrops hampered the way.
Subadar Prag Tewarri,
Bidding them load with ball,
Halted a dozen rifles
Under the village wall;
Sent out a flanking-party
With Jemadar Hira Lal.
The men of the First Shikaris
Shouted and smote and slew,
Turning the grinning jingal
On to the howling crew.
The Jemadar's flanking-party
Butchered the folk who flew.
Long was the morn of slaughter,
Long was the list of slain,
Five score heads were taken,
Five score heads and twain;
And the men of the First Shickaris
Went back to their grave again,
Each man bearing a basket
Red as his palms that day,
Red as the blazing village --
The village of Pabengmay,
And the "drip-drip-drip" from the baskets
Reddened the grass by the way.
They made a pile of their trophies
High as a tall man's chin,
Head upon head distorted,
Set in a sightless grin,
Anger and pain and terror
Stamped on the smoke-scorched skin.
Subadar Prag Tewarri
Put the head of the Boh
On the top of the mound of triumph,
The head of his son below --
With the sword and the peacock-banner
That the world might behold and know.
Thus the samadh was perfect,
Thus was the lesson plain
Of the wrath of the First Shikaris --
The price of a white man slain;
And the men of the First Shikaris
Went back into camp again.
Then a silence came to the river,
A hush fell over the shore,
And Bohs that were brave departed,
And Sniders squibbed no more;
For the Burmans said
That a white man's head
Must be paid for with heads five-score.
There's a widow in sleepy Chester
Who weeps for her only son;
There's a grave on the Pabeng River,
A grave that the Burmans shun;
And there's Subadar Prag Tewarri
Who tells how the work was done.
That point needs repeating.
Prayers for the families of the soldiers.
The Islamofacist's are brutal cold blooded killers. They are Al Queda- our sworn enemy. They have declared war on us. What exactly, do the idiot liberals think they can "negotiate" with these animals? What do they think these people would do if they were here? Political Correctness is going to kill us. We can't win a war using PC as our battle plan. If we are going to fight this war to win, let's do it. No more PC.
President Bush needs to dust the cob webs off the bully pulpit, and start using it to lead this nation to victory. He needs to start defending our military against the attacks of the treasonous media. He needs to take them on , and inform the people of what is going on in Iraq, successes, exc.. and point out that the media is NOT covering any of them. He needs to remind people of why we are there, and why we can't leave just yet.
He (president Bush) needs to remind people that war is always costly, filled with uncertainties, and demands great sacrifices of our finest people, even the ultimate sacrifice of loss of life. This is precisely why our military deserve the total respect and admiration of every citizen of our nation. They (military) deserve our respect more than any mere movie star, sports star, or American idol.
Our soldiers also deserve to be given the benefit of the doubt when accused of some wrong doing, by our bloated alcoholic senator, and his former war hero-turned-traitor colleague (please see tag line). Why can't these worthless overpaid morons in Washington understand that they (military) are fighting for us? They are in a war zone. They are fighting an enemy that uses brutal tactics we have never dealt with before. Our soldiers deserve our respect and our SUPPPORT.
I wish president Bush would go on offense against the media, the democrats, and anyone else who tries to undermine our military. He should call them on it- every-time they lie, every-time they distort, every-time they omit- don't let them get away with any of it. Let him adress the nation frequently, in prime time, demand they carry his addresses, and he should become a regular guest on all the liberal mainstream media (NBC CBS ABC exc.. talk shows-talk to them. Let them ask their stupid questions, and make their hysterical accusations, let their hatred for our military and our nation flow- Take them on. Explain it to them, tell them what the stakes are in this war- just like president Bush did the other day with Helen Thomas- that's how all liberals should be handled. (so he does know how to deal with them.) Who cares if the rats don't like it? I wish he would stand up, and let the chips fall where they may.
If our people don't like it, and they don't support the military, and want to surrender in the War on Terror- fine- let them vote the democrats back into power, and it will be over. We won't deserve to survive anyway.
I just don't want Republicans to lose because our people cowered before the media, so no one could tell what the differences were between our side and the democrats.
I WANT OUR SOLDIERS TO BE UNCHAINED FROM THE ALTAR OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS. NOW....
