General Curtis LeMay had the right idea during the Vietnam War…
And in my opinion, LeMay’s thoughts on bombing enemies are applicable today where ISIS is concerned. There’s just no justification by anybody with any Common Sense for not bombing ISIS, a group who’s method of retaliation is beheading people.
Last time I checked we were no longer in the Middle Ages.
ISIS still seems to think we are.
Like the kamikaze pilots of Japan during World War II, ISIS seems dedicated to the destruction of their enemy no matter the cost to themselves.
It’s impossible to negotiate with people with this type of philosophy.
Consequently, we have to destroy them before they destroy us, because a good offense helps a good defense.
ISIS’s philosophy is another reason why the biggest mistake America could make would be to allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons. I know Israel isn’t about to let that happen and the US should aid and support Israel in any way possible.
Where’s James Bond when you need him?
America should never have allowed North Korea to develop nuclear weapons.
No matter what price must be paid, countries with the type of leaders North Korea and Iran have cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons.
*******
Unlike others in the media I feel enough has been written about Ferguson, Mo.
Mainly because a grand jury is now involved. There are some differences among the witnesses’ accounts, so let’s let the chips fall where they may.
Quote of the day: “Only the dead have seen the last of war” — Plato
Calvin Sense is a prominent African American businessman who chooses not to reveal his identity.
“Mr. Sense” has articulated the only responsible solution to what is going on in Syria and Iraq.
The only responsible solution would have been to never been in Iraq in the first place. Thanks Bush I and II for a complete fustercluck that WE CREATED.
Wow!
Sorry, had to be said.
The Bush family created the mess that is Iraq, hard to deny.
1,000 years ago, people in the Middle East were killing each other over some parcel of sand. 1,000 years from now they will be killing each other over the same parcel of sand. That region will never, ever evolve into anything that faintly resembles a modern society. A couple of well placed nukes and we’d have glass and no ISIS. There’s no God to sort them out, but the end result is the same.
But they gots oil Jim, we have to liberate the oil from them.
It was all about spreading democracy in the region and had NOTHING to do with oil, Dude. The good ‘ol USA is always, always, always the benevolent giant that never has any ulterior motive or political agenda. It’s about the people. All the people.
You are incredibly naïve if you think we want to spread democracy anywhere. Just look at Central and South America and our middling in those countries and you will see we don’t give a rat’s patoot about democracy, especially here.
Apparently, I needed to use the sarcasm font, Dude. Thought that was pretty evident.
Sorry man, your sarcaso font didn’t come through until now. I sensed it but ya never know.
Please remember that Clinton gave North Korea nuclear intelligence.
Obama thinks he can talk with ISIS — he’s a fool.
Turn the middle east into jagged glass.
All that sand would definitely make one HELL of a sheet of glass.
You reckon 50,000 megatons would do it?
Nuke the entire world, we deserve it.
mr. nonsense…what a idiot. a few strikes into Syria…special forces troops…
and its over. all you idiots think the answer is simple…its very complicated because
we’re becoming allies with our previous enemies including Syria and iran and
nnow we find Qatar is financing these hoodlums.
mr. nonsense….you make no sense…..go back to geography class then come
talk with us.
Harley as the voice of reason?
The voice of reason of a child maybe. Calling people idiots on the internet just because you don’t agree with them is petty. There is no room for name calling in an actual debate, so why don’t you stop name calling and come up here on our level Harley?
Nice and simple–minded, like most knee jerk reactions. The trouble is, somebody’s wonderful old Aunt Habiba times 10 million is down there along with the 20,000 or so raging bullies with nothing else to do. Still feel like pulling that trigger?
Mr. Obama is simple minded and naive to think he can manage ISIS.
And we are too, to think any president can.
Stomps, I think this country has become delusional.
We think we can – and should – play God whenever and wherever it suits us.
And we only see one side – our side – when deliberating on these issues.
That’s more than a little scary to me
I would hope the portion of this post touching on ISIS was troll-bait; I would hate to think that Mr. Sense actually received remuneration to pen something that profoundly stupid.
Let me assure you it was a charitable offering, Nick.
However, he does appear to be serious and he’s not your typical white male Republican.
Far from it, actually
Hey Calvin, I can get some enlistment papers over to you so you can help out with your wanted war effort. What is your fax #?
He’s too old, Curtis
