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

Posted on 01/09/2015 5:59:51 PM PST by TADSLOS

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.

YOU GET THE LAWYERS OFF THE BATTLE FIELD AND OUT OF THE TARGETING CELLS!

The money statement right there.

“...reality is that the way you deal with the Islamic State (caliphate), these bloodthirsty, blood-drunken terrorists, is to kill them, keep on killing them until you kill the last one... then you kill his pet goat. THAT’s how you deal with them!”

That’s a great quote!

For some reason we seem to think that if “Leaders of Islam” condemn the terrorists’ actions they’ll quit. That’s all we do. We beg the imams to ask the boys not to be so mean.

Saddam Hussein was a bad man

Yes, he was, but if Bush had nuked Tora Bora as he should have, Saddam and Bush would have been besties the very next day, and we could have unleashed Saddam's army to go South, behead the al-Saud clan, and then swing East with US air support to sack Teheran and shake hands with the Indian military commander somewhere near Kandahar.

Saddam was par for the course in the Arab world.

The world was better off when the Turks ran the Arab world.

I can’t for the life of me figure out why they want the US destroyed and how they’re doing it so easily. It simply has to be evil.

Yes, in the West we have dreams of vacationing abroad and taking pictures of scenery. We don't dream of going abroad to destroy people's lives. Only way to explain it is that they are evil. Mindless evil Orcs.

Oh, this guy is so 1944. /s

Good observation.
I was around before and during WWII. It was a different country with different attitudes.

It is hard for me to figure out how people today are going to respond to these fundamental Islamists.
What I see so far is depressing. -Tom

We used flame throwers as antipersonnel weapons to clear underground bunkers and a-bombs on civilian populations.

Don't forget the firebombings of whole cities like Dresden and Tokyo. Far more civilians killed that way in a day than by the A-bombs.

Kick the door in my butt. Level the whole damn block and move to the next block if need be.

We won't win till we classify Islam as a terrorist organization and make it illegal. Take away its religious status because it is not one. Then kick every one of them out of the country.

I have no problem blowing up a hospital a mosque or any other building that these scum hide in. Destroy the whole block.

I know the perps are evil. But I’m talking about those in charge in congress and the UN. They are evil for allowing it.

Find their families; mother, father, wives, children, brothers and sisters. Execute them and destroy their homes.

Appropriate lyrics from a Motorhead song:

“The tales they tell
of how we stand this day
We that defend our cause
will last a thousand years
Come now the dogs of war”

Let the tales of American military might last a thousand years striking fear into the hearts of all who consider perpetrating terrorist acts.
