Meanwhile, I think he is correct: a complete takeover of a winnable toehold is a brilliant and would humiliate them right back.
Where he misses the mark is the work that can be done right here at home. Americans are energized. Let them make citizen arrests if need be. I know it scares the hell out of some Freepers, but some civil rights are gonna get trampled on for a while. Weenies, what do you propose instead. A suitcase bomb at a sub base or Dover Airforce? Or maybe some lovely biological warfare because the enemy underneath our nose is allowed to carry on here business as usual? Bunk. Americans are buying their guns and want to be patriots. Believe me a bunch of Latino's in Jersey City NJ are gonna be just as patriotic about turning in some jihad warrior as yer blue eyed blonde fella from Cumberland GA. They want to breathe clean air too, y'know and they don't want their country blown up. Let's let the men step to the front, I support that. And I am letting all pansey liberals in my path know it. If they don't like that, tough it's a new day. V's wife.
A great deal of truth here!
Kudos.

I know. That's why I wouldn't push it publicly.
There is nothing moral about war. And we
are going to have to take a long trip to the
dark side for this one.
How much of our wonderful self-image
and we willing to give up to fight dirty?
ROFL !!!!!!!!!!
She stoops to conquer.
I do love you
I also believe that we need deal with the traitors that are among us,that hold political office, are members of the media, and are in hollywood before we look overseas.
I will close with the observation that this is only the first installment of the price of the clinton regime's treachery that will be paid with blood of American citizens.

This nation from top to bottom does not have a clue to what national security truly means.
I am for openness in government, but when it comes to national security there must be secrecy and discipline. Of course we must elect some people to office with moral character so that they will not claim national security to cover up their own criminality or depravity.
We may be a nation of laws but there is no need to hamstring ourselves with international law and world courts when operating off our shores.
The reality of the present situation requires that we have an intelligence service of trained killers and kidnappers who covertly operate off our shores.
If we could, our best course of action now, would be to take out anyone we could find on the face of the earth who has had contact with the terrorist network.
Sure it makes a statement to bomb 19th century Afghanistan back to the 16th century.
But in this new war it is better and more efficient to operate in the dark than in the light of international wall to wall TV coverage. A dead unknown terrorist serves our purpose better than one who is known and headed for martyrdom among the millions looking for destruction of our civilization.
We have no evidence that these terrorists carry weapons or are trained to defend themselves against highly trained killers.
The terrorists who are of greatest threat to us are not the ones in Syria, Iraq, or Palestine. Those terrorists cannot get into our country directly from those terrorists states. They must nest and enter from an ally.
We should be doing some kidnapping and killing of potential terrorists when they are in these states supposedly friendly to us.
There are rumors that some terrorists have fled to Mexico. How difficult would it be to kidnap and dispose of them while they were in Mexico? It is not after all like kidnapping and murder is a rare occurence in Mexico.
Of course such actions goes against the panseyhood so acutely identified by the author in his article.
You need to know why ?
1. It is in the best interest of the United States.
2. It is very easy to accomplish.
2. All terrorist actions were financed with money originated fron the Saudis.
3. To solve forever the vital oil supply for the whole world.
We might as well seize the oilfields NOW, rather than see them fall into the hands of someone else (China?) in a few years.
Of course, this will not happen- because Americans are not capable of the geopolitical thinking required, nor the ruthlessness. We just want to be loved, like a Labrador puppy.
Unfortunately, Don Roberts' original post appears to be missing, so I do not know what he said. Was he arguing that we should be avoid harming women and children?
If so, do you see anything wrong with that?
I would think not, unless he also used profanity, engaged in personal attacks, or otherwise violated the rules. In which case, I do not care what he thinks.
What do you think of harming women and children in the process of attacking terrorists. Is it a good idea? Can it be avoided? Should we try? (Just curious.)
Thanks. Don Roberts does seem to be worked up, although perhaps no more than some others I have read lately.
War is a VERY BAD THING, which is why these folks should have thought about the likely results before starting one with us.
