FR posters excited about Iran invasion

[Charlie Brown]

"Iran is almost as bad as Iraq, I say a clean nuclear strike against the barbarian regime using what we know from Iraq to make the post war occupation much easier. Keep the military in place and declare martial law until democratic elections."

"Well, I certainly hope so. Ignorance is NOT bliss when it comes to enemies. I hope the US has reconnaisance teams inside the mullah's tea parties, inside their weapons-filled "mosques," and inside their heads."

"Personally, I hope this twit is right."

[The Backlash Cometh]

1. Ignorance may not be bliss, but apparently for a Republican president,

it's enough to justify a pre-emptive strike.

[arcane1]

2. and yet one of Saddam's evil deeds was to attack Iran

:eyes:

[Deja Q]

3. They did 20 years ago... which is funny because Saddie was our friend

at the time, Iran was the enemy!

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

[arcane1]

5. stop that! You can't start making sense NOW

they can't handle it! :P

[WMliberal]

6. Eurasia is our enemy. Eurasia has always been our enemy.

We have always been at war with Eurasia. East Asia is our ally and has always been our ally.

[Supersedeas]

28. Classic

[maxrandb]

42. No, No!

In the Navy we've been at war with Oceania for years and years.

[Strelnikov_]

4. Like To See How Well Those Post-Nuke Democratic Elections Work Out

What a bunch of nutjobs.

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. So true

------------------------------------
Would Jesus love a liberal? You bet!

7. I'd like to see...

the Russians, Chinese and Germans all stand up and say, "Hey! Emperor War Chimp! Game's over now. We're back!"

[annabanana]

8. they should all sign on the dotted line...immediately!

National Guard, Army, Marines..
so many choices!

[lectrobyte]

12. Yeah one of my freep cow-orkers was all horny for war in Iran, and I

suggested he enlist, and he explained he was too old, which is probably true... I suggested he sign up with these guys, they are looking for folks to do "threat protection" in Iraq

[Liberal In Texas]

9. Haven't these guys either enlisted or applied for Haliburton jobs

driving trucks?

Sheesh, you mean they're still sitting on their fat asses here in the good old USA glorying in the death of others?

These idiots don't realize firing off nukes anywhere in the world is going to affect them, directly.

I believe the term is CHICKEN-HAWK.

[verdalaven]

11. Same here, my thought exactly. Time for them to enlist!

[Strelnikov_]

14. Like This Guy

"For One Contractor, A Road Too Hard"

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A14325-2005Jan16.html

It is never stated where his politics fall, but from the statements made in the article I think you can make a good guess.

I feel sorry for him and his family. But I think this article illustrates my belief that the uninformed and the kool-aid drinkers will suffer the most under our new Fascism. Those who see through the propaganda will be in a better position to survive.

[maxrandb]

43. They're not "chickenhawks"

They're "keyboard commandos"

[verdalaven]

10. This frightens me

Don't they realize that Iran has nuclear weapons too, as well as powerful allies? That a preemptive strike would not rule out a counter strike? And who are the barbarians they speak of? I only see barbarians(and idiots) on their board.

Warmongering is so easy from the safety of their own home, sitting in front of a computer. They really, really need to enlist and see the action, up close and personal.

[ChristianButLiberal]

13. I hope you guys got your draft cards ready!!

Our military is stretched out so thin there is no way they could handle another invasion and occupation.

So guess who going? You and I my friend.

[verdalaven]

I am too old

My my daughter isn't. That scares the hell right out of me.

[Liberal In Texas]

16. I agree. These are the guys who

run around wearing cammo over their beer guts, talk like they're ex-service, go to gun shows so they can hang-out with other freepers repeating rove talking-points to each other.

The closest any of them will be to military is when the apply for the security guard job at Wal-Mart.

[stevedeshazer]

25. Yup

[Bluebear]

36. hehehe

[alfredo]

31. If we strike them in any way, what will keep them from shutting

down the Persian gulf and our supply lines, then have their considerable army sweep west across the border into Iraq?

[saltpoint]

15. In A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, Alex was presented as --

-- unduly excited (not to put too fine a point on it) while watching violent imagery.

Not much difference between that and the freepers salivating over another pre-emptive strike in Iran.

[quinnox]

17. freepers always get off on death

they are bloodthirsty freaks

[coloradodem2005]

18. If they are so excited, they can go fight.

If they believe in it enough then they should be willing to put their lives on the line for it.

[Ezlivin]

19. Our fundamentalists can kick their fundamentalists' asses

That seems to be the game in which we're engaging.

As for the liberals/progressives in each respective country, we just want to have peace. But that doesn't sell tickets to an inagauration, now does it?

[Bluebear]

21. Bloodlust. Plain and simple.

It's a big video game to these people, except people really die.

[cheezus]

22. well, then iran nukes israel and the freepers are rid of those damn jews

see, it's not that they're just stupid... they're evil, too!

[sonicx]

23. What are they doing at their computers? They should enlist right away.

[Liberal In Texas]

24. Exactly. Everybody remember, when you talk with these

guys in person (if you have to) and ask if they support the war etc. and they say "hell yes...".

Ask them why they're not over there, if they're so pro-war.

And there are no excuses. If they're too old to go into the regular service (although that seems to be no big deal anymore) they can work for Halliburton or one of the other contractors.

At the end of the conversation, you can say, "So your all for war as long as other people and other people's kids have to go fight it."

[TolstoyAndy]

26. My favorite quote

"Those slugbaits are right -- in one respect, this is very much like Vietnam. The drumbeat of opposition from the press corps has been incessant -- and now this."
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1322216/posts?q=1&&page=51

Has this idiot been on Mars for the last 3 years?
"Drumbeat of opposition" to war in Iraq? Or even if Joe Bob is thinking about Iran, "drumbeat"?

That place is often worth a visit: hilariously stupid and deluded, they are.

[Liberal Veteran]

27. Oh that's rich! Let's nuke the place then send in troops?

To do what? Die of radiation poisoning?

[Behind the Aegis]

29. Iran

Yes! Let's invade Iran! I mean, really, the War in Iraq is going soooo well! :eyes: These people are morans! Iran is MUCH better prepared and another ILLEGAL war waged by the US would lose us the rest of our allies....even Poland! We lose all standing in the world. I can see embargoes placed on the US right and left. We will cut off and strangled by our own government's blood-lust and greed for oil!

[LynnTheDem]

30. And I'M excited about these freepofascists getting DRAFTED!!!

THEN I will become a rabid "True American Patriot"!

THEN I will scream RAH RAH RAH!!! DIE for BUSH-GOD!!!
Oh yeah, I'm gonna LOVE IT when these warmongering bastards are shitting themselves on the frontlines.

[Is It Fascism Yet]

32. I hope these little bastards are packing to go themselves this time, n/t

[Deja Q]

33. If they're so stimulated about Iran, then let them sign up and go.

:shrug:

[donheld]

34. They're soo excited they're running to join up

They are so eager to start this shit, but never willing to do it themselves.

[Pharaoh]

35. dipshits, they should all enlist!

They are more than brave to talk macho and then send"our" kids over there to die. All Iran has to do is take out the saudi oil fields(piece of cake) and the whole world economy comes crashing down.

:dem: :dem: :dem:

dumb assholes!

[raysr]

37. Yeah,

I hope they all get to go.

[malmapus]

38. Yeah, but thats asking them to step up to the plate....never happen

Still amazes me how many more of us "liberals" actually did step up to the plate in service to this country and well how many of them haven't.

[raysr]

39. I was pushed

up to the plate.

[Mike Niendorff]

40. Draft them.

Something tells me they'll like it a whole lot less when it's their own asses on the line, rather than just somebody else's kids.

[The Minus World]

41. Not Even the Deluded Deserve to Die

A unique characteristic of FreeRepublic types is their seemingly bottomless thirst for violence for the sake of violence; destruction for the sake of destruction. Rare few justifications for engagement in war would ever hold up to honest scrutiny, and any professsor of junior-college ethics will tell you that war is more a method of population control than it is of maintaining the peace.

Sadly, embrace of such warlust is hardly ever acknowledged for the counter-intuitive, counterproductive mental state that it truly is. Rather, violence in the name of such irrational emotions is often packaged in thin cellophane and sold as retribution for a crime against humanity, or a pre-emptive strike against any number of nations with any capacity to flout America's rule as the world's unchallenged moral disciplinarian.

The cry of the left seems rather simple in this case: "If they want war, they should supply their own bodies." In a truly rational world, such reason would resonate - it would hardly be challenged, and those who would deign to challenge it would be mocked for their lack of basic understanding of cause and effect.

Unfortunately, we live in a country whose deregulated media has allowed it to become polluted by professional rhetoricians and a leadership culture which champions politics over ethical integrity.

We are facing throngs of fellow Americans who - although you may be cordial with them when you pass them in the hallway - truly believe that America has earned the right to kill, destroy, maim, torture, lie, rig and steal in order to further American values abroad.

That is truly the problem. These people have been deceived into embracing their hatred and bigotry towards others.
