Quote from a WWII veteran overhearing someone say that `You can't bomb an ideology.":

"The hell you can't. Because we did it. These Muslims are no different than the [Imperial] Japanese. They had their suicide bombers too. And we stopped them. What it takes is the resolve and will to use a level of brutality and violence that your generations can't stomach. And until you can, this shit won't stop. It took us on the beaches with bullets, clearing out caves with flame throwers, and men like LeMay burning down their cities killing people by the tens of thousands. And then it took 2 atom bombs on top of it. But if that was what it took to win we were willing to do it. Until you are willing to do the same...well I hope you enjoy this shit, because it ain't going to stop."

Cheers

Maybe a lesson from history can teach us something, but only if we want to learn.

I’ve been telling my wife and friends this for years. We CAN win if our populace will support the necessary ROE and level of violence required. Of course, many civilians would also die. This is the inevitable outcome of wars and the way they are fought.

On Sept 12, 2001, the border with Mexico should have been sealed with troops from Fort Hood.
On Sept 13, 2001, we should have commenced continuous B-52 raids with dumb bombs over Afghanistan until nothing was moving.
On Sept 14, 2001, Mecca and Medina are vaporized.
On Sept. 15, 2001 all muslims are invited to drop the practice or invite death.
Open season after that.

You must be a good grandson of Curtis LeMay. Kill enough of them and they quit fighting. Keep on thinking ahead because your plan may turn into operations before we can imagine.
