#1 What is wrong with these idiotarians? They ought to be looking into the illegal use of machetes in Rawanda.

#2 JM - well said.

#3 There is no money or publicity in machetes. Just a cultural thing. Move along.

#4 A MOAB could be an effective alternative. No fuss and no mess. It would be like putting your oven in clean mode - just kind of wipe the residue away with a paper towel.

#5 "There is a considerable amount of evidence of disproportionate use of force causing civilian casualties,"

I'll say. Bodies are being unearthed in Iraq every day, and there's more mass graves that have yet to be found and.......... say what? This isn't what they're talking about? Oh okay then, never mind.

#6 ....disproportionate use of force.... Another relative term...

In my view, turning Baghdad and Tikrit in to glass parking lots might have been construed as 'disproportionate use of force'.

#7 They ought to be looking into the illegal use of machetes in Rwanda.

Those machetes aren't being wielded by Westerners, and as such, aren't worthy of attention or investigation by idiotari....ahem, "international lawyers".

#8 A MOAB could be an effective alternative.

We have to make sure we're deliberately using it on women, children, old people, and puppies tho. Otherwise the Peace Organizations will have to fabricate things.

#9 Leftists seem to think that military pilots wake up in the morning, take chow, jump into their fighter jets just loaded with heavy ordnance, take off and bomb anything that moves.

Because of this abject ignorance, they are imbued with this rage over how callous and inhumane military pilots are.

Sooo, I will repeat in this post: NATO pilots, and their air staffs are extremely careful about the rules of war and the targets that are chosen; their air staff make damn certain the location is right and the target is right before their pilots even go wheels up.

Heck, even the US has damn military lawyers vetting many if not all targets struck.

Now, strictly speaking for myself alone and not for the rather more professional military people running things, I still like my 24 bomber 48 nuclear cruise missile solution to Islamic terrorists, but that is just me.

So, the moron who posted this communistic crap needs to drop to his/her knees and praise Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ that guys like me do not run things.

#10 4thInfVet, they can DNA test the paper towels we through away for residual duck genetic material.

#11 Opps, I meant "throw" not "through."

#12  ... they can DNA test the paper towels we through away for residual duck genetic material.

I thought we were making the baby ducks clear land mines, did I miss a memo?

#13 No, we're using dolphins to clear land mines. It's not very efficient, but damn, it's funny.

#14 RC, does Green Peace ever protest when a tuna accidently gets tossed in the field and flops about before discovering a mine?

#15 They don't protest for long, and that's the beauty of the system: You toss a dolphin into the field, then the Greenpeacers run through the field to rescue the dolphin.

If you're careful, you can use the dolphin multiple times, and even return it to the wild when you're done.

#17 I couldn't be paid to go tp the Greek Olympics. I am betting that they will be some unexpected fireworks there. The greek government thinks that they are out of bounds because of their stand agaimst the US, think again.
