1. Now WTF Is "Victory??? |
|
Try asking a wingnut that question and watch the head spin like a centrifuge. The stupid logic of if we withdraw, those who have died would have died in vain...sadly, time to face reality and then examine why they did die that way and who was responsible.
Margolis speaks the truth...and one most the nutjobs out there can't get their brainstems around. We're sitting in their countries...these groups aren't going anywhere...just biding their time until we either are too weak and demoralized to keep fighting or we're driven out.
I've long played the game of asking wingnuts, if our country were invaded by a foreign power, would you welcome them or resist? I think it'd be interesting to see how these asshats react to this question considering their "love" and "respect" for the incoming ELECTED President.

3. There is only one way we can have victory in this "War" |
|
And that is to kill every last one of them and their families, because as we learned in Viet Nam every time we kill one of them their siblings or relatives join the resistance. We killed millions in Viet Nam and they still kept coming until we could no longer continue. This is not your grandfathers war where we capture an enemy force and treat them well until the war is over. And America is not prepared to accept mass extermination that is required to win an occupation of a foreign land.

4. I turned on theTV late this morning and he was on |

I do not know a thing about the man but the very first thing I heard him say was absolutly correct. In answering a caller he immediately pointed out that we are a bankrupt nation that doesn't have the ability to go around the world and defeat much of anyone, that the mass robbery that has taken place on Wall Street is a matter of national security just as much as bullets flying and bombs dropping in the middle east is.
