This second video is THE REAL SHOCKER. Look at how coldly and glibly humans can be killed anywhere around the world from the comfort of an office at the CIA here in the US. It is easy and faster than shooting fish in a barrel, or swatting a fly. What does one do after a day at the office killing human beings like as if it is a video game? Watch American Idol?

Image how this technology can be used against peace activists and other dissidents.

2. No muss, no fuss.*
*Dead Afghan civilians are not counted by the DoD as either muss nor fuss, much less both, so quit yer bellyachin', ya dirty libs.

4. Artic Dave, do they have drones?
Edited on Sat Dec-05-09 01:10 AM by avaistheone1
Do they kill people in the U.S. from their air-conditioned caves in Afghanistan?

The CIA video killer gets to go shopping at the mall after he finishes his kill. The insurgency killer blows himself up or at least has his life at risk when he fights. This isn't a level playing field. Is this shit allowed by the Geneva Convention? I think it is pretty sick stuff.

8. level playing field?
why the hell should it be a level playing field?

we have much better technology, and we should use it.

the geneva convention says nothing about level playing fields.

also, the taliban can't go 5 minutes w.o. violating the geneva convention. al qaeda declared war on us, fwiw, and violaltes the GC in almost everything they do - from slitting throats, to targeting rescue workers, to fighting out of uniform, to hiding out in civilian areas and attacking from there, to setting booby traps, etc. etc. etc.

11. From Generation X to Generation Kill
Generation Kill is the most combat ready generation yet. Children right now will be even MORE EFFICIENT killing machines as soon as they hit 17/18 years old. The MIC have been some busy bees breeding the next generation of killers.

As the terrorists think of new ways to bomb us, our own children will think of new ways to destroy them back.

Face it. This is President Obama's war now. All you youngsters who avidly support this war, dammit, go support this war. So we can end it soon, then get the hell back home and try to rebuild these paltry, broken, lifeless, desperate, desolate, shambles called America.

Us old farts will cheer you on as you maim and kill your way through the stans. Ain't war grand?

Do I need to add a sarcasm smiley or was I obvious?
