Kill them all, except those who hide in caves or run away.
Divide up the land into US bases and enclaves for the few remaining sycophants.
Flatten and burn what's left.
Take the oil.


Of course, when someday down the road, 10, 20, 50 years, whenever someone angry enough finally puts together a plan to get revenge, remember, it's not "blowback," it's just people who won't give up their war, or want to build a fantasy, paradise called the "Caliphate," or people who are jealous of America's freedom and way of life.



"But, hey, the number's probably wrong, much higher than the actual number, and 100,000 or 300,000 people, hell, they're only Moslem, Arab scum anyway, so killing 100,000 or 2,000,000 doesn't matter anyway ... "

- sorry, I forgot who said that ... Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler, Lenin, Castro, Bush, Cheney, Rummy ... actually, no, those men belived killing the particular groups they were targeting was a good idea. None of them thought it didn't matter. My mistake.

Yep AQ wants the US out of the mideast so they can conquer it.

The mideast would mean a lot less to the US if the US could get off oil. Sad to say that idiots like Ron Paul not only have opposed every government bill to fund alternative energy but also oppose increasing the gas tax or even taxing imported oil.


By the way is it not interesting that no one in the mideast said a word when Saddam gassed the Kurds? Or when Khomeni's Fatwa killed 30,000 in 1988 alone. Or when Assad destroyed the city of Hama in 1982 killing 20,000 or more in just ten days. Bin Laden his group killed lots of muslims . What religion were the northern alliance?

Your opinion is not evidence.

Shame on Ron Paul.

Yeah prove it.

Your opinion is not evidence.

Tell us why it is not a good idea to have a tax on imported oil.

Tell us why it is not a good idea to increase the gas tax.

Tell us why it is not a good idea for the govt to invest in alternative energy.

Tell us why it is a good ida to send money billions and billions to support the enemies of the US the mideast and Venezula.

There never will, shall, or might be a Caliphate. It is just a semi-useful rhetorical flourish to nurture an Us v. Them mentality in the Middle East. AQ will NEVER conquer the mideast. You are wasting everyone's time to keep flogging the same horse.

Also, whoever said Bush is Hitler is wasting everyone's time as well.

In Iraq, it is. No attack, no religious zealots blowing themselves up to get virgins. Simple fact.


Nonsense. There have been hundreds of suicide attacks since the war began. Unless you are able to read the mind of EVERY suicide attacker you can not possibly make this claim.


The insurgents even brainwash mentally handicapped children to perform said attacks...although the motivation tends to be different.

It is probably true that there will never be a Caliphate. That doesn't mean that Al Qaeda doesn't fight for it.

That doesn't mean that Al Qaeda won't keep attacking the US until they get it.

The reality is that Al Qaeda and those with the same ideology will keep attacking the US until they get the Caliphate or are destroyed.

Witnesses Testify In Blackwater Lawsuit
By LARA JAKES JORDAN, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - A federal grand jury investigating Blackwater Worldwide heard witnesses Tuesday as a private lawsuit accused the government contractor's bodyguards of ignoring orders and abandoning their posts shortly before taking part in a Baghdad shooting that left 17 Iraqi civilians dead.

Filed this week in U.S. District Court in Washington, the civil complaint also accuses North Carolina-based Blackwater of failing to give drug tests to its guards in Baghdad � even though an estimated one in four of them was using steroids or other "judgment altering substances."

A Blackwater spokeswoman said Tuesday its employees are banned from using steroids or other enhancement drugs but declined to comment on the other charges detailed in the 18-page lawsuit.

A million civilians. Wow.

Didn't Rumsfeld refer to the "humanity" of the war?

Yup.
Quote:


Thus, defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld recently remarked on �the care . . ., the humanity that goes into� the use of so-called smart bombs and similar munitions.


http://www.independent.org/newsroom/article.asp?id=1154

Indeed, there is some humanity. A crime against humanity. 1 million dead.
