That sounded like Col.s Peters and Hunt were arguing 2 sides of the same coin.
Mongol General: What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
Amen
Allied air forces left Germany and Japan smoking ruins and killed hundreds of thousands of civilians. But that wasn't what won the war; beating the German and Japanese armies in the field did. How do you beat terrorists in the field?
Striking hard at external terrorism sources is fine. We also need desperately to cut off Muslim immigration into the civilized world.
Great article! I would just point out that, as much as GWB is criticized on this board, he is not guilty of starting a war that he did not intend to win. Many disagree with the war in Iraq, but, once it began, GWB put the USA in a position to win it. The unfortunate thing is that in 2008 this country elected a community organizer who was not only completely ignorant about foreign policy, but whose loyalty lay with the enemy and not the United States of America!
Amen
The women are not innocents...... they are the enemy
Death and destruction is the solution
A coalition of killers is required to spread the responsibility for the killing to assuage the feeble minded pacifists
Yeah - well...I few years ago when discussing Iraq - he was saying something totally different...maybe he realized how wrong he was...I actually bought all his books and read them to study up on terrorism during my time in Iraq and finishing my master in unconventional warfare...uhm....pandering to the masses maybe...

Why? They should not be there. Leave them part of the smoking ruins and the dead bodies.
If they try to interfere at a later date then that can be handled by
3a; Remove all liberal judges who would support lawyers that would interfere with military actions.
Bases covered.
Retired Lt. Col Ralph Peters is absolutely correct, but the Moslem-Marxist’s administration has no desire to take affirmative action.
Col. Hunt added pressure through banks and economic is spot on...too many of these Arab nations have Sharia Banking in place and are funding their accounts worldwide...their will always be ready jihadis to join the fight...but the funding is also a prime element...

This explains it all - lists the nations - and is basically saying that the US knows - but is not acting on this intelligence due to the current POTUS!!!
The attitude during WWII was one of national sacrifice. Conscription, rationing, etc. See how far that gets you now.
No more ROE crap!
And also, Col. Peters, in your own words, “BE FEARED... DO NOT BE AFRAID TO BE POWERFUL... DO NOT WORRY ABOUT ALIENATING ALREADY-HOSTILE POPULATIONS...”

But you need to be ruthless.
And we won’t be.
200 years from now, I want their children's children's children's children to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead because their legends tell of fire from the sky.
I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth, shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.
I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with "If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you", and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obeisance.
I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea .. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.
