Comment on The unbearable cost of discount war. by L Miles

In the Old Testament, Jehovah knew how to vanquish the enemy: take no prisoners or booty and scorch the land.

When attacked by terrorists the American response should be total destruction of every terrorist camp in every country that tolerates these camps. After our dropping of the first nuclear weapon on the first camp, the nations that tolerate and encourage this nonsense will take action themselves to eliminate them, or wish they had.

There is no virtue in negotiating with terrorists and nations that give them safe haven. Lack of their destruction simply encourages their proliferation. Are we going to follow this logic when the next attack occurs on our country? It is just a matter of time, since they don’t fear us yet and the conflict has not been resolved with our VICTORY!

Every American generation should expect to defend its Liberty and Freedom. Evil men, both domestic and foreign, will never cease to try to destroy us. We are a threat to their tyranny, whether political or religious.

Even a fanatical Islamic suicide bomber is not willing to see his entire family and village destroyed. If I’m wrong, then let the destruction begin. The cost of toleration of this kind of Evil must become unbearable to the enemy, not us.

The United States was a force to be reckoned with during the Wars I and II. Thanks to Johnson and Vietnam, our standing in the world started to slip and has continued to with each “unfinished war”. Guess you could call me a “Hawk” because I believe in a stong military and using it. NO war is wanted, but to remain FREE sometimes war is called for. We can not go in with any attitude other than WINNING. To do this, we can not go in shackled by political correctness as it has no place in a war. I feel it has no place anywhere, but then that is just my opinion. But in a WAR, you do what it takes to win. Doing any less opens the door for future problems.
Obama has no intentions of winning, his reasoning is something no one is willing to face the facts on, so I will not go there. He has already opened the door to a muslim take over of our Country with his coddling of terrorists and demanding we give miranda rights to the ones trying to KILL US. When fighting a war, we need to do it General Patton’s way!

There’s a reason Joe Biden finished dead last at Delaware’s law school. I’m not talking about “near” the bottom, or anything like that: I’m talking DEAD LAST.

The man is a complete moron, an habitual liar, and a thug. He is the perfect embodiment of the Democrat candidate and office-holder. In fact, the only guy more apropos than Biden is Alvin Green of South Carolina…

“Democrat” = communist

You are so right on the money. America has not fought “to win” in so long that it has forgotten what it takes. We bleed “just a little” to make war more acceptable to the masses. But, we bleed. Men and women are killed, wounded, maimed and lives destroyed or changed forever. But, its “just a little” so there is no outcry.

As a Viet Nam vet, I remember the days of not being able to quit and not having the backing to win. Rules of engagement, “advisors” running the war for the President who had no idea what was going on and a public that grew very tired of it all.

We never lost a battle, but we lost the war…Why? Because no one (but us Marines and Soldiers) were committed to doing what it took to win quickly. I see both Iraq and Afghanistan as the new Viet Nams….either win the darned war or bring our troops home. This old war horse has seen enough of the alternative and bleeding “just a little” is not acceptable any longer.

First of all, the goal of installing pluralistic democracy in a Moslem nation is laughable and illusory: It can flourish so long as we maintain a military presence there, and then everyone who voted or otherwise cooperated with the U.S. will be killed when we leave. Such an absurd and illusory agenda makes the loss of even one American life too high a price to pay.

However, a “contained” or “limited” war (your terms) could very well have succeeded, if Bush Jr. had sent air strikes to decimate every terrorist training camp in the mideast and Africa, and killed every man, woman, child, goat and cockroach residing there. It would have been unmistakable in its message, and could very well have been executed at little or no cost in American lives. As a deterrent, it would have been excellent. If not, then repeat the formula with Mecca and other mosques on Ramadan…

Um, the bank bailout started under Bush.
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 was passed in October 2008.

The “problem” with Joe Biden is that unlike his boss, there is an inkling of a conscience in him. Therefore, he does not make a good liar…he knows what his boss wants is for him to go out there and make people believe, oh sort of like the Emperor’s new clothes story, in something that is not there. There will not be a recovery as long as obama is in office or if we do not turn out enmass come November to vote the ones responsible for this mess…OUT! We need to be extremely careful with our votes to make sure we vote in the right people so that this Country can start to crawl out of this disaster obama has caused! AND this IS obama’s mess, NOT Bush’s! Bush did NOT buy out the auto industry and hand it over to the unions. Bush did not buy out the banks…oh, excuse me, “bailout” the banks. All this was on obama’s watch!

Good point Abraham. Obama is doing much of what Bush did, but to a greater degree and with a greater fiscal cost. Sadly, many sat silent when Bush did it.

Seems to me all the New Yorkers need to do is start selling pork, lots of pork in front of the new mosque that whey want to build. And someone should start processing pork next door, and let the mosque smell and literally inhale pork, 24 hours a day until they move. What they want to do is legal, but shows no class. So, get you pork on a stick, rrrrigggth here New Yorkers.
