#20  I've found that ARCLIGHT strikes are the ultimate in "shock and awe". Our failure to use them against the Iraqis left them with the belief that we were paper tigers. A three-ship bombing run would take out 90% of the Gaza in one pass. I'm sure the "shock and awe" felt in Askelon and Sderot would be significant enough to let the entire world know that we have the capabilities to turn anyone's day into a really, REALLY bad one, if we chose. That's a lesson the islamonuts need to learn, and learn early. Failure, for whatever reasons, to teach that lesson will only mean more deaths for the United States. That's one lesson Rumsfeld failed to teach, and it's come back to bite us. Now it's al Sadr and the Iranians that need to learn that lesson, and quickly.

#18  Must say am i the only one who thinks the only serious options that will ever work with these chumps, including syria and iran is to land say 20 or 30 trident missiles down on every single population centre and military facility they own, i mean utter wiping out, nothing left, take out maybe 80% of there forces in one swift hit all in the space of several mins.

You are not alone, Shep. I do not so much view it as our "only serious option" as opposed to the one choice that will be presented to us after some psychotic Islamic loon finally commits the unthinkable atrocity that leaves us in the West with jaws agape in total disbelief.

It may as well be carved in stone. Islam will commit such a heinous atrocity that the West will be obliged to incinerate the entire MME (Muslim Middle East).

This is not what I want. I would much prefer that moderate Muslims convert to a sect of radical reformists who are willing to stack jihadists like cordwood. Given that, I'd be happy to consider having a reformed Islam join the ranks of this world's accepted religions.

Barring that, the MMe will be incinerated because of their own refusal to coexist.

Yes millions would die, tens of millions probably but to be perfectly frank and non pc about it the more dead the better. Please before anyone cries warmonger, which i doubt they will but if they do just realise that if they could do this to us they would not hesitate. I say get it over and done with, fck russia, fck china , i dont give a hoot what they say, tough sht for em. Its become clear in my mind this is the only option left on the cards.

#16  Taking out the "leaders" will only bring up new leaders just as bad if not worse.

Bzzzzt! WRONG! You're using the "killing terrorists only makes more terrorists" sort of argument, mojo.

The very nature of terrorism's secretive operations makes killing their leadership highly effective. Newcomers do not have the connections, depth of knowledge or simple experience that senior members do. Neither do they have credibility or known abilities.

Steve is absolutely right. Make them reach down into the peanut leagues for replacements. See how far it gets them towards the pennant. This is something that's certainly worth trying. We've been doing it to a degree already, we merely need to broaden the scope of such efforts.

#15  Whacking the current round of leaders may bring up new leaders who are just as bad or worse from the standpoint of their mouthing off.

They're also just as bad or worse from the standpoint of competence.

It doesn't help when the big league team has to reach deep into its farm system before the playas are ready.

They want "merciless lessons"? Let's give 'em one. Cut off all supplies (including from Egypt, thanks), park a couple of cruisers off the coast and start randomly shelling Gaza from one end to the other, day and night, for a couple of months.

#13  Take out the leadership and both the rhetoric and actions will moderate. We don't care about what they say - we just care about their actions.

Not quite, Zhang Fei. You mildly contradict yourself by saying that a decap of leadership will moderate "both the rhetoric and actions" and then going on to say that; "We don't care about what they say".

Actually, we should care about what they say. Yes, focus on the actions, no misdirection please. But it is critical that we begin disassembling the Islamic propaganda network. This is where our personal strategies coalesce once more. Nailing the top leaders like Nasrallah and other spittle flecked clerics will definitely take the wind out of their sails.

This needs to be our top priority on a worldwide basis. Culling the most influential imams and clerics would have a quietening effect like few would believe. And if it doesn't? Go after the next tier of leadership. Rinse, lather and repeat until thay SHUT THE FUCK UP.

#12  No doubt what Fatah has in mind are moderate merciless lessons.

#11  Just try finding them. Think of all the jet fuel wasted and greenhouses gases produced in the search. Mother Gaia implores you to carpet bomb.

#10  ed: Thats a waste of resources ZF. Dumb bombs for dumbasses.

Too many bomb runs necessary to hit the leadership doing that. Waste of aviation gas and maintenance. Take out the leadership and both the rhetoric and actions will moderate. We don't care about what they say - we just care about their actions. Remember what happened after Israel took out the top two guys in Hamas's leadership? No more problems. Bottom line is that if they propagandize and a Palestinian kills our people, we should take out the top guys in Fatah and Hamas. After a while, the lesson will take. A lot cleaner than taking out the low man on the totem pole. Israel provides us the addresses and we do the taking out. What's not to like?

#8  It will be kind of cool to compete with the Israelis for Palestinian targets to JDAM or Hellfire.

#5  The Gaza strip is pretty small. I think it would be a good test bombing range for practicing Arc Light missions.

Posted by: 3dc   2006-11-09 09:37  

#4  I am sure the Dhimmis will be able to deal with the religion of peace. Some of the options are:

1. Group hug in with religious members of the religion of peace.
2. Establish conflict resolution committee.
3. Send more money to the UN.
4. Group chanting and mutual hand wringing.
5. Put religion of peace leaders in a car with Ted Kennedy.
6. Join the french and capitualate in a very european manner.
7. Educate more mid-eastern students in our schools--no need for them to actually attend classes. We can just convince them of the error of their ways.
8. Hire Cindy Sheehan to annoy them to death.

Any contributions to the list?

#3  Muslims to 'teach American enemy merciless lessons'

We don't want to know how to ride camels from the backside while shouting, "Allen Ackbar".
Posted by: Icerigger   2006-11-09 09:07  

#2  More like, I think America needs to teach Israel a "merciless lesson", to quit pretending it can treat Paleos in a civilized manner and set up conditions under which they either behave, or they are kicked out of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank for good.

Israel has been living in its illusions for too long. This nonsense has to end.

#1  But...but...but I thought Islam was the religion of peace!!? At least that's what that nice, soulful Ibrahim Cooper and CAIR keep saying, and so do all those rent-an-imams they keep trundling out in front of the TV cameras!

It's hard to hear what they're saying, exactly, over the racket being made when those other guys behead Indonesian schoolgirls, stab and burn Scots teenagers, behead American reporters, gang-rape French, Australian and Scandanavian girls, and blow up Israeli pizza parlors. Can someone please tell them they're off-message?
