I’m not sure if I should take you seriously or not, as I question anyone who thinks bombing the entire ME is a good idea.
Anyway, Senator McCain is most definitely way too liberal on a lot of issues. I do think he’ll continue to prosecute the WOT, though.
Unlike either of the Democrats. Do I like it? No.
I wouldn’t have liked a lot of President Roosevelt’s policies, either. However, I probably would have voted for him, also.
Yeah, Teddy was the kind of man I wish was running for the Presidency today.
The alternative is to wait until they get here to shoot them. I'd rather see most of them wiped out over there. Clearly, our leaders didn't have the guts to fight like WWII when we went into Afghanistan and Iraq, they thought they could do this like we did with Vietnam. I guess it was a surprise to see the same result.
In any case, some 90% of the Muslims are of the type to hold a grudge for at least a millennium, and will need to be eliminated now that they have demonstrated an ability to steal and co-opt high technology. That still leaves 100 million of them, it's not the same as completely eradicating their religion, only the worst parts of it.
I do think he’ll continue to prosecute the WOT, though.
There are three parts to our current strategy to prosecute the war on terror: 1) Treat everyone like a complete terrorist when they try to fly anywhere, regardless of their solid-citizen, law-abiding status, giving no focus to certain swarthy types who have seemed to cause the bulk of the problem; 2) Baby-sit competing groups of Muslims (who Ronald Reagan was smart enough to get fighting each other), costing us enormously in terms of money, lives, and expanding the power of liberalism in the US; and 3) Fund both sides of the conflict by taxing or borrowing to build things that Muslims either don't want or will blow up anyway, and by pushing up the price of a resource the Muslim enemy has the greatest portion of in the world.
I guess I'm not as big a fan of prosecuting the WOT in that way as you are. At least if one of the Rats pulls us out, we can save some soldiers' lives while the Shia and the Sunni blow each others brains out. Then we can get some adults elected to Congress in 2010, and prepare the way for a Republican President to finish the matter off once and for all, if keeping the ragheads fighting with each other starts to peter out.

Interesting that you mention FDR. He's the guy who was telling Americans to stay out of Europe's problems in the election that was held six months after Hitler marched through the streets of Paris. Decisive action to kill the Nazi regime in its crib in 1933 or 34 would have saved a lot of American lives and treasure. This is why I was giving the green light to GWB for invading Afghanistan and Iraq back when those things happened, little did I believe that we would just replace one set of Muslim fanatics with a different set of Muslim fanatics.
If we cannot fight this battle with the ferocity we used against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, then we had best figure out ways to get the Muzzies to off each other until we are capable of electing leadership that has enough testicular fortitude to do the job. Nobody taking the oath of office this coming January 20th qualifies.
