Simply my idea is hit hard and remove yourself from the battlefield. If we had did that in the beginning we could have save over 3000 lives and thousands of wounded.
I am OK with that.American leaders do not know how to wage war any longer, to kill people and destroy property. Perhaps we need the entire US Military on our Borders rather than trying to make silk purses out of sow's ears in the Middle East?
threegun said:What your point?
Note the several militants killed and 2 captured part.
But you never answered, how do we win? Keep doing the same thing that has never worked before?
Put out fliers that read every roadside bomb will receive a MOAB on the nearest village. Turn in those who plant these bombs. After a few destroyed villiages either we have tips or they lose people. Just like the bombing campaigns of WW2 only our bombs can be stopped with a phone call or by flagging down a soldier.
Off the deep end... This is how the terrorists are already winning.
Maybe I sound like one of those pacifist...not one of those either. We should have secured our border and taken names and kicked butts one day after 9/11. I am not afraid for our country to be tough, I just think Bush went about it in the wrong way. I would have given our special forces an open ticket to get that SOB Bin Laden, and I would have backed them up to the hilt.
terrorism has been around since the dawn of civilization. there is no war that will ever eliminate it. people need to understand that the Bush administration has deliberately exploited the very meaning of terrorism. if they were at all serious about our security then don't you think they would have fully secured our borders after 9/11?Its called war. In a war you destroy the enemy no matter were he hides. If the population of civilians refuses to help us they are enemy as well. When you get this through your head you will understand how wrong you are and how hypocritical your statement is.
very well put.We should have secured our border and taken names and kicked butts one day after 9/11.
Problem with that is if you try this tactic prior to full scale military operations to remove the government it is very difficult to support those teams.
if they were at all serious about our security then don't you think they would have fully secured our borders after 9/11?
because unfortunately there are too many simple people out there...Why do you say 911?
cool. because it makes perfect sense to me.I agree with you.
He was an American.Who's "we"? The Achille Laura was an Italian Flagged and operated cruise ship, in the Mediterranean. It had several Americans aboard. The Munich Olympics was an attack on the Israeli Team, in Germany.
The first true terrorist attack on American soil in fifty years was the WTC.
On October 7, 1985, four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front (PLF) took control of the liner. the hijackers shot one wheelchair-bound passenger – an American named Leon Klinghoffer – because he was Jewish, and threw his body overboard.
While we talk about it, Iraq was in violation of it's surrender documents during the eight year reign of the other party. Under International Law, that had reinstated the hostilities between Iraq and any member of the Coalition. Had the political leadership of the day been interested in anything more important than sex, Iraq wouldn't have had eight years to build it's resistance.
i completely agree with YOU. terrorism has been around forever, it's only the bush administration that has exploited it to a point of fear tactics. it's absurd what bush has done to our great country - all in the name of 9/11.
