Peters' Plan to Fight Terror: 'Leave Behind Smoking Ruins & Crying Widows'

And I will add that it's time to "nuke" these killers, in my opinion! And I won't apologize for that.

No President since WW2 knew how a war was won.

Well, they ought to have. G.W. Bush came close with Dick Cheney and their plan for "Shock and Awe," which unfortunately got scaled back. They should have done it.

Nobody substantial objects to killing "Islamist terrorists". When that was the objective, after 9/11, it had over 90 percent support.

It's funny how beheadings are bad but nuclear weapons are good.

Who do you target though? The people doing this aren't a nation state but private citizens.

Barack Hussein Obama pointed out that he was a total newcomer and had absolutely no experience at anything except community organizing, AND people said it didn't matter.

He is an eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no balls, nothing but abstract, empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.

He demands his media cheerleaders to look the other way, accept excuses without much challenge and turn his critics and whistle blowers into enemies. and sadly quite a few Americans have bought into this Dog & Pony show *




* No offense to any Dog's or Ponies.

"Lt. Col. Ralph Peters tonight gave a detailed plan to Bill O’Reilly on how he would fight terror.

“One: You accept that you are in a war. Two: You name the enemy, Islamist terrorists. Three: You get the lawyers off the battlefield […] you accept there will be collateral damage and you do not apologize for it. You do not nation build, you don’t try to hold ground. You go wherever in the world the terrorists are and you kill them, you do your best to exterminate them, and then you leave, and you leave behind smoking ruins and crying widows."

Bomb, bomb, bomb.
Bomb, bomb, Paree!

I agree with you, you know this. But how are we going to win this war, when the Cancer has spread. And when we cannot even really talk about the truth of the matter, we have to be afraid of what is said and how we say things now.

Kind of like in essence, the bad guys get what they want, they can do what they want, say what they want, and know that there is nothing most of us can do to change this.

This goes to the heart of it. 8% of France is muslim immigrants, a chunk of whom seem to hate the society they have moved to except insofar as they can leech off of it. If it's a terrorist organization in the middle east, you can can say, we're going to go in with fire and salt for harboring and abetting these guys, but what do you do when they're home grown? Obviously Europe needs to stop letting more of these people in ASAP, but what do you do to stop terrorism from those already there? Can't "shock and awe" what is now part of their own populace. That does more harm than good. I don't have a good answer myself, by the way.
