I’ll say it again. The answer is obvious, we must kill our enemies. We don’t have the balls to do it.
The power disparity in the world has never been greater. The US is many times more powerful than the Mongol Empire relative to its enemies. A single Mongol warrior of low rank could enter a city and an entire dynasty would surrender to him. A roman consul of modest rank, literally standing alone in the desert, faced a huge army and defeated them by showing the Roman fasces. The army could kill the consul, but their entire civilization would then be destroyed by the Roman legions.
Such is the power the US actually has, but is unwilling to use. A single dead American should mean the destruction of entire nation-states. And I mean a strategic, theater level raid that levels cities and infrastructure and leaves dead, thirsty or starving people in its wake. Huge monuments should be left behind, inscribed with a warning about the consequences of our return.
I’m not being poetic, or metaphorical. Take me literally.
Glorified and sanctified be God’s great name throughout the world which He has created according to His will. May He establish His kingdom in your lifetime and during your days, and within the life of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon; and say, Amen.
May His great name be blessed forever and to all eternity.
Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored, adored and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be He, beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that are ever spoken in the world; and say, Amen.
May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life, for us
and for all Israel; and say, Amen.
He who creates peace in His celestial heights, may He create peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.
~~mourner’s Kaddish
You all know it was the rabbi’s and the child’s fault. The freedom fighters are very brave, and only kill because they are oppressed and misunderstood.
This is exactly why I serve: because of monsters that do this sort of thing.
That the left (generally speaking) can’t look at this and identify it as part of the GWOT, and identify the GWOT as a morally just crusade, enrages me. The people who did this need to be taken care of in just measure.
I’m a Christian, but I’m feeling very Old Testament about these depraved animals right around now. I will pray for the souls of these innocent victims of senseless slaughter, and that God’s swift justice be done on all those who planned, supported or perpetrated these vile acts. Right now, I’m not far from Jeff #1’s take on things.
In our grief for these dead we should stop to remember that there is an old and longstanding alliance of agreement between the Nazis and radical Islamist’s in their virulent anti-semitism and that this anti-semitism continues down to this day. It is only ghastly that this anti-semitism should have spread so far abroad as Pakistan and India, where one would think anti-semitism would have little place or cause to exist — which only says something about the irrationality of hatred, I guess.
Reports say that some of these cocksuckers have been captured. i hope…I seriously hope that right now they all have bamboo slivers under their fingernails, are having their teeth broken off one by one with pliers, have jumper cables hooked up to their balls, have needles set deep into their eyeballs while being questioned as to if, how, when and where more of this shit is planned.
They have given up their humanity.
If they don’t respond shoot them where it would cause a slow, agonizing death…and go onto the next one.
The assholes on CNN keep referring to these sick murderous fucks as “disaffected youths”
Nishi blames Sarah Palin and the theocons.

They was depraved on accounta they was deprived.
Fred,
Oddly enough, their colleagues at IBN (a CNN partner) had no qualms about calling them “terrorists” and “killers”.
Ted Turner may have to have words with his Indian IBN management…
Yeah, I’m sure sashal will be disappointed that Saddam’s not around to pay the $10,000 for every Jewish death. Damn you George Bush!
#2 Darleen
That is a lovely prayer.
And I say this as a confirmed agnostic.
I didn’t know Agnostics had Confirmation.
Funny, that…
;^)
“You agnostic girls start much too late…”
Ah, probably inappropriate. Jeff Y in #1 is getting at the heart of the matter, really. Perhaps we should be less concerned with how people “feel” about us and more concerned with ensuring our survival.
I would still love to go to Bombay though and I will someday just not now with the terrorists and all.
This is a picture of a mosque in Bombay. It is very old. It looks very peaceful. Not very pretty though at least from that picture. It looks kind of Alcatrazy really.
I agree with Jeff Y in #1. Militant Islam is a disease bent on the destruction of Western culture. PC culture wants us to die the death of a thousand cuts, rather than steel our resolve as a nation and stomp this jihadi shit into oblivion.
I blame the terror apologists just as much as the terrorists.
The ones who can’t see past their hatred of Bush to condemn terrorists. They are, in their way, partly responsible for children’s deaths like these. But, they’re too narcissistic to ever realize it.
I think PC culture just wants our hero wannabes to pay for their own crusades for a change, Hvy.
Might I suggest a telethon?
I didn’t know Agnostics had Confirmation.
I think their equivalent is called Disconfirmation, actually.
Hey parsnip; blow it out your ass, motherfucker.
A 13 year old girl and her no doubt unarmed father? Real bigtime heroes these Muslim cocksuckers are. I’m with Jeff Y. on this. We should have flattened those muzzie pig-fuckers well and truly, and left a big sign at ever spot which read “THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCK WITH UNCLE SAM. NEXT TIME IT WILL BE FAR WORSE”.
These people only understand the mailed fist. Stomp ’em and keep stomping until they leave us the hell alone.
But that won’t happen. Some foreign assholes might think badly of us, and we can’t have that.
But I console myself with the thought that at least when the muzzie “disaffected youth” carry out a NBC attack somewhere in the United States, they are most likely going to hit deep in blue state territory (New York, Boston, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, etc).
Think of it as evolution in action…
Shall we blow another trillion dollars avenging ourselves on another group of thugs who are already dead, CB?
Does it help?
Are the people who sent them out there still alive? If not, then it isn’t over.
parsnip
if the jihadists were all dead then this attack wouldn’t have happened.
Good lord, that out to be obvious even to a root vegetable.
It doesn’t take a brain trust to plan an attack like this, Nan.
Just easy access to weapons.
Darleen, I’d rather spend the money on fighting cancer and heart disease.
I think Obama does, too.

You don’t read outside of your Leftist-approved-sites, do you?
Darleen, I’d rather spend the money on fighting cancer and heart disease.
who is stopping you from contributing?
I think Obama does, too.
Who is stopping him from contributing as a private citizen?
Oh, you mean you want to hold a gun to the head of your neighbor and steal his/her earnings to pay for your pet projects! Funding stuff that is no business of the government while gutting the legitimate duties of the government!
parshit = disengenuous twatwaffle
Just easy access to weapons.
And a ship. And grenades. And a dozen or so dinghys. And maps. And actionable intel on how to evade authorities with all your weapons. And…
Darleen, I’d rather spend the money on fighting cancer and heart disease.
That will give us more opportunity to die at the hands of Islamists, I guess.
Darleen
You’re the one getting a check from the government every couple weeks, IIRC.
I am being forced as a private citizen to pay for the right’s rather expensive racist revenge fantasies.
And I object to it.
Yeah, like you have a job or pay taxes, rootboi.
Snicker.
parshit
right’s fantasies?
Yep, 9/11 never happened and the newscycle dealing this Mumbai is a conspiracy.
are you commenting from a drug-rehab halfway house? Your facilitator ought to be informed it is not working.

Note the root vegetable doing a riff on the “chickenhawk” theme. I work in the judiciary so I’m not allowed to have any opinions on what constitutes legitimate public policy and spending.

Revenge? for what?
Islam and Islamofascism (or however you want to call it) isn’t a “race.” You think that this war is just being spun out of George Bush’s macho fantasies. The most polite response to that fallacy is: we wish you were right.
Parsnip- America and Freedom is apparently wasted on you. Ratfucks like you are what encourage the Jihadi’s to continue their extermination program. My son laid down his life in Iraq to protect your right to be an ignorant douchebag. I don’t think you have anything to say to me that I give a shit about.
I hate to say it, Hvy, but Iraq was no threat to my freedom.
Sorry about your son, though.
parsnip/alphie is an example of a common gambit these days: trying to represent pusillanimity as “pacifism”.
They observe great evil — rapine, torture, murder, genocide — and are too fearful, lazy, or (in alphie’s case) cheap to do anything effective about it. “We have encountered evil,” they say, “and we have resisted the easy way out. We have not resorted to violence! Are we not virtuous?”
No, they are not virtuous. They are apologists for and enablers of the agents of violent evil, accessories during and after the fact.
It becomes worse when they draw their Cloaks of Pure Virtue around themselves and sneer at those who are willing to confront evil. “Resorting to violence!” they shriek. “No better! It’s all evil! Only We are Good!”
Principled pacifists do exist. I consider them foolish and misguided, but not actively evil. alphie/parsnip and his fellows actively encourage and support evil, and deserve only opprobrium.

Ric

Avenging ourselves? Your slip is showing parsnip.
parsnip and his fellows actively encourage and support evil, and deserve only opprobrium.
I had hopes for a moment that might be a nifty new “waterboarding” technique; I had to look it up.
It doesn’t take a brain trust to plan an attack like this, Nan.

They weren’t Columbine Kids, nutsack. This didn’t take place in a American Lemming “Gun Free Zone”.
It took reconnaissance, training, battle-staffing, coordination, communication and discipline.
In short, all the things you don’t know anything about, and can’t understand in your life as a Coastal Neuter-American Worm.
The left lurvs them some high-minded rhetoric, but they never seem to take the logical conclusions that the high minded rhetoric leads us to to heart. When parsnip says that Iraq was no threat to his freedom, I beg to differ.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
“You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man’s freedom. You can only be free if I am free.”
“When liberty is taken away by force it can be restored by force. When it is relinquished voluntarily by default it can never be recovered.”
Iraq wasn’t simply in our national interest (although it surely was that), it was the right thing to do.
And one more quote for all the leftists that can’t stand the idea of conservative speech:
“The only way to make sure people you agree with can speak is to support the rights of people you don’t agree with.”
It’s a lesson lost on them.
Hvy Mtl Hntr, “opprobrium” can be as effective as waterboarding. It’s just slower.
“parsnip”, whom we know as “alphie” from the inimitable style, has two themes he comes back to again and again: the money, and revenge. Of the two, the money is most important to him, and for a long time he even had a signature amount. If you saw “700 billion dollars” in a post, you could assume with confidence about 70% that it was alphie. alphie doesn’t give a damn about Kurds or Marsh Arabs or anybody else over there — in fact, he doesn’t genuinely recognize that there are “people” over there — and despite the obligatory politeness, the only thing he cares about your son is that he resents the expense of burying him. That money was supposed to go to alphie and his allies, so they could spread largesse upon the Deserving (by their, and only their, definition) and bask in the resulting admiration of their generosity. EEEEEEvil Booosh took away the money! Stone him!
As for revenge — Shall we blow another trillion dollars avenging ourselves… he sneers. But Afghanistan is the “good war”, because we can “punish” bin Laden and his followers for hurting us, and Iraq is the “bad war”, because those people never hurt any American… do you see the disconnect? alphie and his fellows have reverted to tribalism. They’re all about revenge (although they mealymouth it as “punishment”) and cannot even conceive of any other excuse for violent action. It sort of limits their ability to interpret what’s going on in the world today.

Ric- Thanks for your comments. It is amazing to me that there seem to be a significant number of “parsnips” in our present society. Compromise with the evil that is Islamic Jihad and sharia can only result in eventual defeat. Any use of force against this thuggery- wherever it appears- can only be veiwed in the light of self-defense.
To malignant narcissists like alphie, a puffed-up Austrian corporal feeding 6 million Jews into the gas chambers was none of our business; the Imperial Japanese Army slaughtering hundreds of thousands of Chinese in the streets in a grotesque orgy of violence was none of our business. We could’ve very easily stayed out of those conflicts… and suffered 70 years of shame.
Nah. There’s only a handful — they just keep using different names.

I think it is mostly greed motivating them, Ric, it always comes back to money. Money they think should be given to/spent on them. They are too greedy to even protect themselves.
It is likely that, for America’s popular media to correctly report on the war we are in, they require that the war be “over there,” an ocean away, in order to gain a safe-enough, hermetic vantage point.
That is, when 3000 died in NYC America’s media framed those terrorist murders within whatever American domestic framework appealed to the news org’s editors. Some saw the attack as just commuppance for America’s “wasteful” energy use, others as a retribution for the “scourge of slavery,” and, for still others it invoked our nation’s global economic “sins,” like “globalization,” or Constitutional (or Non-Monarchic) government.
But, when the terrorists hit another, distant, liberal democracy like India, a place where the pet domestic projects of major broadcasters’ owners (ex. Sulzberger’s feminist fetish with the Augusta National’s) are not so directly affected, I think we can expect a more surgical and more studious account of things than we’ve gotten from these editors’ “news” outlets over the last 7 years.
Maybe it’s wishful thinking…but, it won’t help Obama “succeed” in the White House if the same media that got him elected begins to lie to him about our South Asian allies’ wartime affairs, now will it?
