#12  #5: Chris, while YOU don't see that as 'evil' collateral damage, most of the world does, and war is more about perceptions than military battles (especially this war.)

F*ck most of the world. Put the names of the top Liberal enclaves, and wherever most of the hand wring and bleating comes from, on a big (The Price is Right) wheel. Spin the F*CKING wheel and
obliterate nuke whatever local the arrow lands on.

Do that twice a week like a Lottery or something and the bleating and hand wringing would stop. I imagine only two...maybe three cities at most would have to be incinerated. Time, way, past time to go Viking on...well...just about every one. Especially here.

Hoist the Jolly Roger and start the killing. Arrrgh!

#11  well the world may see them as civilian casualties, but I think it's about time we stop worrying about what the world thinks is in our best interest and DO what is in our best interest.Who is gonna raise a sting HRW? China with one of the worst human abuse rates ever. Russia , with their growing Neo nazi movements . I'm sure Yemen will be well compensated for any of their shitlings lost.

#10  I'm with you Ed, but you don't need the followups :-)

#8  I don't see any breast beating

#7  I don't any breast beating when a muslim mortar attack kills or wounds a Filipino or Indon camp follower contractor on a US base. Why should I give a rat's ass about some al qaeda sperm receptacle camp follower who agrees with the jihadi ideology of mass murder. In fact, I salute their deaths and will light off a few bottle rockets this New Year for the brave sacrifice made by our Hellfires and Tomahawks.

#4  civilian camp followers? if they where there they where of the same mindset so I see no collateral damage

#3  Regardless of manner of attack most causalties would be civilian camp followers. And given the involvement of the Yemen government, any significant targets would have been clued to get away before the attack anyway.

#2  A cruise missile or two though can whack the big turbans and put the fear of Allan into the cannon-fodder ...

#1  A cruise missle strike on a base big enough to house 400 fighters seems like underkill. I would have thought that leveling the place with 500 pound bombs would have been killed more. Alternately, you could beef up the ground portion of the air-ground attack.
