I am totally diabused of the stupid assed notion Wars are about sending messages, firing shots across the bow, diminishing the military of a nation, leveling the playing field between two warring parties, acting as warning to a Third Nation, reminding Despots of International Accords, and all this other crap the Lefties, Liberals, Progressive Ding Dongs keep running out to justify the use of their nation's or some other nation's military when they think it is the cool thing to do.
War is a simple concept and has exactly one singular purpose.....to kick your opponents ass until he is either dead, rendered incapable or unwilling to resist. You do that by the use of unlimited, unrestrained violence, mayhem, and destruction of his People, Resources, Assets, belongings, and motivation.
Every time we do other than that.....we lose.
If the dummies in Washington vote to attack Syria....then we should go at it Hammer and Tongs....and see just how many of them we can kill, wound, and maim.....destroy every bit of their infrastructure, government, economy, and just plain lay waste to as much of the Country we can.
We do that....thumb our nose at the rest of the World....tell them if they don't like it....we got plenty of Nukes laying around idle that we can light off in their neighborhoods.
If the Arabs want to pay us to be Mercenaries then lets take their money and when we finish with their enemies....we turn on them and do them in too.
Way too much talk folks.....lets just roll up our sleeves and get after it!
The problem really is that War is not fought these days as Wars have been fought in the past. We somehow think War can be limited, humane, nice neat and orderly.
Sadly, it cannot. It is a terrible business that once started for whatever reasons given....it always takes unintended paths and escapes from the cage we had hoped to keep it contained inside.
This thing in Syria is going to turn ugly if we do what the Obama Administration wants us to do.
Nothing good shall come of this.....Nothing.
You Nimrods that are all for this.....I pity you as you simply lack any commonsense.
So please....stop bothering us with the rant we "must" do something about those who were gassed. That was their bad luck....as horrible as it was....but their being murdered by their own government does not require "Us" to do anything.
We should punish Assad and his Regime for that horrible atrocity....and all the other atrocities that have been committed....but likewise the Insurgents do not have clean hands either.....so we should hold them accountable exactly as we do the Syrian Government.
Let the UN form a War Crimes Commission....start gathering evidence....at some point one side or the other will win....peace of sorts will take hold....then the UN can investigate, arrest, and put on Trial....those who are culpable of War Crimes.
Going to War is not the way to handle this.
