Actually according to libertarians that I read, this is exactly how wars should be fought. With snipers taking out top people on the other side and thus threatening the entire top command of the enemy. They call it the Swiss method of war. Fully defensively armed and going after the top command of the enemy.
Sheldon Richmon???? No question where this commie, socialist, Marxist, liberal puke is coming from.
”Dictator Saddam Hussein never even threatened to attack Americans”.
Yes he did, constantly and loudly to anyone that would listen. Not only did he threaten the USA, as afore mentioned, broke the terms of a cease fire agreement and literally attacked US planes.
”Contrary to what the George W. Bush administration suggested, Iraq had nothing to do with the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001”.
It was actually media scum that did this. Classic straw-man argument.
”Before Americans invaded Iraq, al-Qaeda was not there”.
Yes they were, they were training there along with any number of other terrorist organizations.
”The only reason Kyle went to Iraq was that Bush/Cheney & Co. launched a war of aggression against the Iraqi people”.
”Wars of aggression, let's remember, are illegal under international law”.
As opposed to non-aggressive wars? The very term "war of aggression" is a made up liberal term that has no real meaning and certainly isn't against "international law" whatever that is supposed to be.
”Nazis were executed at Nuremberg for waging wars of aggression”.
No, that is not why they were executed.
”Eastwood's movie also features an Iraqi sniper”.
It was a Syrian sniper who came there specifically to kill the "great Satan" (Americans). That you missed this point only accentuates your ignorance and complete lack of reason on this subject.
”Kyle was a hero because he eagerly and expertly killed whomever the government told him to kill”?
Another point that you missed. He was a hero because of the people he saved, not the people he killed.
”Excuse me, but I have trouble seeing an essential difference between what Kyle did in Iraq and what Adam Lanza did at Sandy Hook Elementary School”.
Then you have gone beyond being an unreasonable person with a poor understanding of facts to being bat sh*t insane.
Libertarians are scum. Reason Magazine endlessly pimps for Obama’s executive amnesty and open borders
This illustrates why I left the Libertarian Party after the 9/11 attacks. I still share many of their concerns about the economy and social issues, but as for those who would strike at America: I want them dead! Rhetoric like that shown above can only further marginalize their cause.
I still feel it was right to topple Saddam—he was our puppet and he was running amok. I think we were unprepared for what would happen afterward, and in their usual fashion our “leaders” screwed it up. I cringe at being labeled “war weary.” I’m weary of spineless politicos.
Short of another catastrophic attack, I don’t know what will wake enough of the electorate up to change this disastrous course we have taken. For myself, I intend to support the candidate with the most hawkish foreign policy. Screw free community college... fund the armed forces properly and turn them loose!
***Iraq did not invade America or attack Americans.***
USS STARK. 37 US sailors dead.

Can someone find and post the Baghdad billboard showing Saddam Hussein gloating over the twin towers burning?
I and many others here served in the military to preserve his right to say whatever he wants.
Sorry I did, in this case.

libtard tripe..... how quickly they seem to foget there was a bipartisam support for iraq.... UNLIKE OBAMA’S TREASONOUS ACTIONS in libya, syria, ukraine and gitmo....
Supporting groups we are at WAR WITH THE USA.... THE WAR ON TERROR..
al queda, isis, taliban.... ALL FINANCIALLY SUPPORTED BY OBMA THRU SECRET LAUNDERING OF FUNDS VIA QATAR, WEAPONS VIA TURKEY AND OUT RIGHT GIVEAWAYS RELATED TO RETRIEVEING A TRAITOR AND RELASES FROM BITMO...recently he admitted to causing/supporting the civil war in the ukraine...
HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED AND TRIED FOR TREASON..... how much blood he has on his hands....
Interesting question. Why isn't the sniper who sets up to kill anyone who tries to stop his boss (the man drilling a hole in a child's head to punish the child's father) just as much a hero as the man risking his life to protect the innocent child? Only a liberal would ask that question.

A great many libertarians are just liberals.
They hate just as much.
That's from UN Resolution 1441, isn't it?
This guy Sheldon represents libertarianism the same way Christie and Romney represent conservatism. Which is to say not at all. There are bad apples in every bushel, and some people leech onto ideological names without believing in their tenants. At our core, every true libertarian believes in minimum government with maximum freedom. My father is a combat veteran, and I have always supported the troops and a strong foreign policy.
