Bring Back Carpet Bombing

JERUSALEM (AP) -- Lebanese guerillas fired a relentless barrage of rockets into the northern Israeli city of Haifa on Sunday, killing eight people at a train station and wounding seven others, police said. BASRA, Iraq, July 16 (Reuters) - One British soldier was killed and another wounded during an operation to seize a suspected "terrorist" in Iraq's restive southern city of Basra early on Saturday, the British military said.

The rules are quite clear. The bad guys can lob any kind of weapon they possess and kill anyone who happens to be standing at ground zero and it's reported in the news with the same importance as a passing thundershower. But if the good guys carry out a surgical strike on a strategic target and a brick knocks a passing paperboy off his bike, our enemy and their useful idiot liberal supporters demand a war crimes investigation. The hypocrisy is sickening. In an ideal war, as many bad guys and as few good guys should die as possible. Just because we CAN strike a target with pinpoint precision, doesn't mean we SHOULD. My solution? Bring back carpet bombing. On February 13, 1945, English and American bombers flattened the city of Dresden, killing at least 35 thousand people. Now THAT was war. The allies thought (and rightfully so) that the bombing of entire cities and towns would quickly bring about the collapse of civilian morale in Germany. And it did. Remember the episode of Star Trek, where two planets waged war without weapons? People would just report to death chambers when they received news that their neighborhood had been destroyed in a computer war game. War was sissified to the point where it was no longer intolerable, so people had no reason to stop. Then, Captain Kirk threw a monkey wrench into the civilized process and the two sides had to consider peace. That's what we're doing now. We have so sissified warfare that it is no longer intolerable. When we send our troops into a town we know to be a terrorist hotbed, it's like we are sending them into those Star Trek death chambers. What we should do is flatten the entire town. No more terrorists, no more stronghold. And once that happened a few times, do you think "innocent" civilians would allow those terrorists to operate out of their neighborhoods? In the end, I believe it would result in FEWER deaths of innocents. War used to be hell. We need to make it hell again -- for the enemy. By the way, did you notice how Reuters put quotation remarks around the word terrorist? They still don't get it.

I do know it was Stonewall Jackson who said,in rsponse to a lieutenant's query as to what course to take to exact vengeance for a bitter defeat: "kill 'em. Kill 'em all."

The firestorms in Dresden killed more people than either of the atomic bomb drops over Japan.

You are 100% right, Ranger. We have been fighting these people on THEIR terms: foot soldiers with rifles. It's time we fought them on OUR terms... That's how we started this out, that's how we need to finish it. I'm tired of hearing about our servicemen dying in their hum-vees due to booby traps... --Rick; 5:25 AM

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
