Fight Terror: 'Leave Behind Smoking Ruins & Crying Widows'(Ralph Peters on O'Reilly)
Fox News ^ | Friday, 9 January, 2015 | Staff

Lt. Col. Ralph Peters tonight gave a detailed plan to Bill O’Reilly on how he would fight terror.

“One: You accept that you are in a war. Two: You name the enemy, Islamist terrorists. Three: You get the lawyers off the battlefield […] you accept there will be collateral damage and you do not apologize for it. You do not nation build, you don’t try to hold ground. You go wherever in the world the terrorists are and you kill them, you do your best to exterminate them, and then you leave and you leave behind smoking ruins and crying widows. In in five or 10 years they reconstitute and you gotta go back, you go back and do the same thing, and you never, never, never send American troops into a war you don’t mean to win,” Peters said.

sounds like a good plan, which means we wont do it.

We will sooner or later, or we will cease to exist.

This is the way wars were fought before PC corrupted the fighting upper class.

Until we start thinking like Peters is thinking, killing off the terrorists will reside in our homeland and be fought by like minded Citizens.

“Stop Making Sense!” It only encourages liberals to double down on higher and more idealistic rabbit holes to jump in.

And use bullets dipped in pig’s blood!

It is good that war is terrible or we would grow too fond of it.

The JCS should meet with 0bama: " Mr. President, THIS is going to be your strategy for the War on Terror. Adopt it now, or we will resign en masse tomorrow morning. We have already notified the leadership of the Senate and House, so you have nowhere to hide."

Before we risk one more American military life, why don’t we find out where these bastards are getting their money and shut their bankers down? Why don’t we start drilling fr oil and gas all over America and release all the the government holds, and make ourselves energy independent? Why don’t we tell the f*****g UN to find another place for their G** D***** building. Why don’t we take our military home and find out just how tough Muslims and illegal Mexicans really are when we use our military to tell them to get the HELL out? Why don’t we put a thousand percent tax on all the investors of any company that offshores its workers?

Enough crap. Let’s do it right and use our American freedom to get our American freedom back - before we don’t have any freedom left to do anything.

"exterminate them, and then you leave and you leave behind smoking ruins and crying widows"

Would those be gay and lesbian widows? Just asking? Peters sounds not only full of aggression, but also anti gay marriage/s

I believe the great majority of Americans have become “too civilized” to win a war. Even while the warriors among us a trying to win the rest will be trying to prosecute them.

Exactly.

And state explicitly that “human rights” do not apply to terrorists and pirates.

The Russian Navy uses captured pirates for target practice. We should too.

Peters left out orphans. Leave widows and orphans.

If it moves, kill it. If it doesn't move, blow it up.

Not all Germans were Nazis but that didn't stop us from launching total war on all of Germany.

“One: You accept that you are in a war. Two: You name the enemy, Islamist terrorists. Three: You kill the lawyers, FIRST!”

Fixed it.

I think I’m in love with this man! *SWOON*
