@ Lish
You are very informed. Alcia-duh is just a front group for the cia created by Robert Gates during the first king George presidency. They are the boogie man for the phony war on terror that is designed to destroy the US from being a somewhat free country and to bring us into a state of martial law by king George the 2nd.

Re: Ruthess Enough
As Glenn so aptly points out, these pants wetters don't dare say what they are really advocating "we" do with the Middle East, because even they are horrified with what being "ruthless" implies.
Fallujah was a little bitty taste of what being "ruthless enough" means. Just a taste. In that operation, several hundred thousand natives were told to get out, pronto, just go, leave, NOW. They did, to the extent they could; only of course, the old and the sick and the lame, those without close connections in other parts of the realm, those without money, couldn't leave. They had to hunker down. Also, as men of military age attempted to leave, they were turned back into the city, told they would not be allowed to leave except under US military control. They were to go back to their homes and wait for instructions.
And of course, by the Rules of Engagement, once the attack began in earnest, every single male who came into view was, by definition of being seen, declared an insurgent who could be and was targeted for liquidation. If they were attempting to surrender, or if they were following instructions to assemble, or they were captured, or if they were wounded, or if they were sleeping in their beds at home, it didn't matter, if they were male, they were enemy, they were targets, and they were killed. By the thousands. Kevin Sites's famous videotape of a Marine summarily executing a wounded man in a mosque in Fallujah -- the one that earned him many death threats and got him pulled off the Iraq beat -- also shows the aftermath of the summary executions of a whole line of wounded Iraqi men in that same mosque, who were shot immediately before the better known clip. The only thing we can be sure was unusual about this incident was that it was videotaped and the tape was broadcast around the world.
Those who hid, who fought back, who tried to flee were subjected to "shake and bake" -- white phosphorus shelling followed by applications of high explosives, to first drive them out of their hiding places and then to blow them to tiny bits.
Women and children and old people who failed to leave were subjected to the same operations as the males who were not permitted to leave. Some of them survived; many did not.
The Fallujah Operation destroyed or severely damaged the city, essentially the entire city, and some hundreds of thousands of people were put to flight, several thousand who couldn't get out or were not allowed to were killed, and this was declared a Glorious Victory. The destroyed and essentially quiet and empty city -- empty except for the dogs and the corpses -- was then repopulated by Fallujans invited to return from wherever they had manged to escape to, but only under very strict military conditions. Oddly enough, Fallujan resistance to the occupation continues in the city, day in and day out. So in the sense that the resistance continues, even that Operation wasn't ruthless enough.
A similar operation is going on in Baqouba right now, has been for weeks, only the natives were told to stay in their homes, they were not allowed to leave at all, and according to reports, several hundred have so far been killed, but as operations push through the city, more and more will wind up stacked in the morgues.
Other Iraqi cities have been subjected to the same sort of treatment.
And in Baghdad, the "surge" meant that the previous ethnic cleansing of neighborhoods became a rout. Resistance was futile. The objective was to drive Sunnis out of the city altogether or to confine them to a few walled ghettos, bare remnants of districts within which they once formed a majority. And then... well, the fear was these Sunni ghettos would soon be the graveyards of the remaining Sunnis.
Still not "ruthless" enough?
2 million Iraqis have fled the country. 2 million at least are internally displaced. A million or so have been killed or wounded.
Not "ruthless" enough?
How about mass deportations? Exterminations? Eliminations? Cleansing?
Just what constitutes "ruthless enough?"
The world has seen it all before.
The pants wetters can't wait to do it again.
They are monsters.

Guilt
I also notice.. that you slime people with the old 'guilt by association' tactic. Learn your slime-artistry from Rush Limbaugh?
-- bucky1
It's more like guilt by admission or a declaration against interest. You've watched enough TV to know that you have the constitutional fifth amendment right to remain silent, so as to not incriminate yourself. Personally, I find more of an association between Sapienza's overt racism and Rush Limbaugh's (like once telling a black caller to call back after he had removed the bone from his nose). If people like yourself didn't make these types of comments, I wouldn't be able to point to instances of your overt racism. Expressing a desire to blow up the UN or actually blowing up federal buildings speaks for itself. Here is an example of guilt by association, using your own words against you (again):

The list of slanderous propaganda listed by these wild-eyed lefties is a hoot; and you post it often. A public service no doubt; to teach the young what collectivist bias looks like.

That "lefty" is inclined to be more generous to your kind than I am, but you are what you are, bucky. Even he acknowledges that.

So...are we going to see a third party soon or what?
If Republicans can survive this horrible highjacking of their party by crazed sociopaths, what does that say about America?
