It's not a laughing matter. IT's WAR! GET A CLUE!
In case it has escaped your aqttention, the USA, England, and many other countries ( the number 60, has been used for how many countries al Qaeda factions / sleeper cells are in )are our " enemies then. Shall we bomb ourselves
Do they or we knowingly have caves and roads for them to run their operations from? Did they let them hide there?
How many friends and / or family, did YOU lose on 9/11 ? Many FREEPERS lost loved ones, you know; so don't talk so damned cavilerly about innocents losing their lives ! You go and fight " your " way. Let the president and the military figure this one out, dear. You haven't the qualifications, nor the brains for it.
Make no mistake the ones who blew up the WTC and Pentagon know and understand what I just posted. BTW read the Bible to see how wars are fought. I was a trained sailor and a trained soldier so don't go there. I served 4 years on board one of the most powerfull weapons known to mankind. I was later a reservist soldier that was trained to do things that would not make you sleep well at night. I've forgotten more about warfare than you could ever begin to imagine. The rest of it pays me visits in my sleep even after 22 years and I was a peace time Vet.
You don't have the vaugest idea how the USA is fighting this war on terror. What we aren't doing, is fighting it as though it were WW I, WW II, Korea, Nam, nor the Gulf War. Neither has it been the catastrophe of Somalia, Bosnia, ofr a " Wag the Dog " scenario.
It isn't over yet. Used to be a non recongnized person could not approach a United States Naval vessel without a threat of deadly force. You see the sailors were taught to be diplomats or ambasadors of good will, A side show for the state department. Sailors lives were lost because MANY long established protocols were abandoned. There is only one way to fight a war. You identify the enemy. Which we have done. And then you go where they are and destroy them at all cost. We stopped using this manner to fight our enemies after WW2 which was about the time our institutes of higher learning started getting Marxist professors as well. Look on my profile and click on Origins of Political Correctness in my Book Marks a good read on just what that means. BTW written by Bill Lind who will be a speaker in Las Vegas at the FR convention.
Biblical type warfare hasn't been used, by Western nations, for centuries. You know who uses it ? al Qaeda, and that ilk. You could also have used what Rome did to Carthage. Why did you confine yourself to the Old Testement ?
It matters little, that you were a sailor and a soldier ( you were both ? ) a long time ago. You aren't acative now, weren't running things back then, and, since you haven't boasted about it, weren't trained , for warfare / leadership by any military collge. You're nothing but an " armchair general " and a little tinpot " expert " , with a Napolean complex.
YOU GET A CLUE AND TAKE A READING COMPREHENSION COURSE !
No, dear, we and England and germany and the Phillipines and France and Spain and oh so many other countries didn't " invite " the terrorists in, the terrorists didn't / don't live in caves in these countries ( except, perhaps in the Phillipines ); however, they were " harbored " and even funded , in part, by people in ALL of these nations. That's giving aid and comfort to the enemy and that YOU don't undrestand , even this, and call for destruction of all such nations, it is YOU who need a great deal more than just one " clue ".
If your posts are any indication of your knowledge and abilities, then it is patently obvious, that you couldn't fight your way, sucessfully, out of a wet paper bag ! Huffing and puffing and screaming for the massacer of ALL men. women, and children, the utter destruction of every nation, where the terrorists wre / are ( which, BTW, includes the USA, dear ! ) is lunacy.
Unlike you, I don't make protestations about what an expert I am, re military conflict. Do I want the enemy laid low ? You bet I do ! I loathe PC garbage and need no one to " explain " it to me. People I knew, died in the 9/11 attacks. I want blood, far MORE than you do. Unlike you, I trust this president, the military ( this isn't McNamarra and the idiots running Nam ! )and those in the field, far more than you, who imagines that all we need to do is have the military walk around, blowing trumpets, and then kill everyone in sight / make slaves ( yes, the ancient Hebrews made slaves of some of those , whom they captured in war ; learn some fact=ual history, dear ) of some of the women and children, afterwards.
Instead of a " clue", dear , get a grip ! LOL
