Steve, do you live in a one roomed shack up in the hills? ...."....In 4 more years" I will have been in the Marines 21 years. I know whats going on. I work right next to the Generals that run this place.
Your thinking is so twisted and convoluted that you get lost in your own thoughts.
I never said "to kill them" I said we need to get to the bottom of the barrel! We are filling the prisons with the thugs that we are taking as POW's. (by the way thats a geneva convention thing if you havent heard) We give them shelter, blankets, medical aid (more than thier Army ever did), and the food they ask for. They wont eat certain foods, and we ablidge them with their "proper meals". All this after they use no genevea convention rules to kill us........................go figure.
Your way off.

Yes they are >fanatics, they (muslims) have been fighting since the beginning of >time. Mankind has been fighting since the beginning of time. Fanatics are just the worst type of Mankind. Just remember there are plenty of fanatics out there that aren't Muslim, and plenty of Muslims that aren't fanatics. The world is really a messed up place in case you didn't know :-) >I agree with you if you could say that. Countermeasures are >exactly that, a response to what is happening.

Any military policy that relies on killing until there is nobody left to kill is bound to fail from a practical standpoint (I'm not even going to touch the moral aspect). Vietnam hammered that point home really strong, as have a number of other failed attempts to nation build. Killing is a means to an end, not the end itself. >To say that the Iraqi had an Army is pathetic. They had a mob of men in >the same clothes. They had an Army. A pathetic Army, but still it was an Army. And they used tactics too :-) >I will give you your right to say whatever you want in public. But I do >not have to like it. Nor do you have to. That's what separates a free society from a closed one. >I think your way off base with your thinking. That the civilians running the
war don't know what they are doing? Let's chat in 4 years and see if you have changed your mind at all. I just hope that you're around to have that chat. Keep safe. Steve
