Right.
So we should outlaw using RPV's and use F-18's to kill the terrorists.
Better, yet, let's pretend their just criminals, not terrorists, and send the Messiah's Keystone Kopps in to slap the cuffs on them.
It's amazing how the Left, who know nothing about war, feels confident in their silly solutions to real world problems.
I see the thread got off track. The issue is RPF vs some other means of killing. Not the fact of killing itself.
Can you stay on target for more than 3 seconds? That's not up for debate. Sure, the firebombing of Tokyo was an atrocity, a true black mark on the history of humanity. But it has nothing to do with the current situation. Nor does the fact that we have other machines of war. Bringing up deflection does nothing. Pay attention, for the love of all that is holy please just pay attention.
More importantly, why hasn't your Messiah defined "victory" in that theatre and outlined a course expected to achieve it?
This is nothing but horrible, partisan crap. If you want to be taken seriously, you're going to have to use a bit more logic and rationale. Not knee jerk responses trying to label me as something I'm not or insinuating I voted or feel a way in which I did not/do not. A little honesty here is all I'm looking for.
No, because your Messiah is incompetent and has done nothing right yet for anything.
So no to the honesty then huh? Too bad.
Dead Americans without victory.
So it looks like the past 8 years then. We've lost, what 4K more Americans in a quagmire of wars without end? Nice.
So the same as the current situation. Failure, in essence, is what we're currently doing. Awesome.
I haven't seen it demonstrated on your behalf.
Power IS, it has no such thing as "legitimacy". The word you're seeking is "authority".
And the answer is an unequivocable "yes".
So we don't have to respect sovereignty of other nations, yet demand they respect ours. We can engage in wars against innocent life with no regard for that life by justifying some assbackwards logic loop about "dead Americans" (Americans die every day, in well more numbers than terrorism could ever get us...we don't freak out about that). The government was not granted this authority.
1776, if you want to pretend it's God.
No, back then they understood the natural limits to government and its powers.
Hmmmm...the "root" cause....well, we helped Afghanistan defeat the Soviets, then we followed their wishes and left them alone.
Then they attacked us for no reason.
Terrorists attacked us for no reason 8 years ago. 8 years ago we started a war against Afghanistan. 8 years later all we have to show for it is more dead Americans, and unprecedented debt. I think your method is clearly stupid and will lead us nowhere. Obviously, it's time to try something else.
Also, we should probably not train terrorists anymore.
