Snapshots of Afghanistan - August 2009

Funny.....I listen to what is said, and not who is saying it. Beck comes through to me loud and clear, and in spades. How about telling me where he is wrong, instead of castigating his character? Or, do you even hear what he is saying? |

I never sent anyone over there to kill 3000 innocent people, There is no one on my block here in Oregon that is training to go anywhere to kill civilians, and never has been. Many more than 3000 innocent people have been killed since 911 in the name of WTC revenge. Probably accidentally, but you left off two zeros. Which killer should I be most concerned about the one who killed first or the one who killed the most. In the case of Bush, it's both. Who do you blame for the Marine barracks? Or how about the USS Cole, Bush? Suck it up whiner, your main man is in the white house. |

"DRS" wrote in message ... "Bill Graham" wrote in message [...] would be shouting "Sig Heil" about now........G. Patton was right. We should have taken over the whole world in 1945. Millions of people would be alive today that have either starved to death, or been killed by tyrants since then. Patton was a self-aggrandising idiot. The Soviets would have creamed the Allies in 1945. The only areas in which the Allies were superior to the Soviets were logistics, artillery and communications. The Soviet airforce was qualitatively and quantitatively as good as ours and their heavy armour was to ours as a Hummer is to a Mini. They had more seasoned combat troops too. Of course, that begs the question of just why a liberal democracy would want to "take over the world" anyway. 1. You are wrong, and G. Patton knew it at the time, or he wouldn't have recommended it. 2. "Liberal Democracy" all right......You sure nailed that one OK. |

How about the one who targeted innocent civilians like the ones who happened to be in those twin towers? Civilians have always been killed in the wars of mankind, but even the Japanese in WW-II didn't target them at Pearl Harbor......they confined their attack to the military ships, and not downtown Honolulu. |

So it has taken over 8 years so far and the current word from the US commanders is "at best we can draw but not win" That's OK with me.....Better over there than over here.....And now, we are using robot airplanes, which we can control from here in the US, so there is no risk to our guys at all! ...and yet more die. Check our combat deaths for July & August. Hey! - Give us a little more time.....Our technology is improving. |

Check our combat deaths for July & August. You'd be happier if they got hit by a drunk driver on the way home from work? Yes.....During the first Gulf war, they estimated that more of our troops would have died had they stayed home and driven around drunk from party's on Saturday night.....I think the deaths in Afghanistan are comparable...... |

Yeah, that sounds great. Now what happens in a few years if China or Iraq or Iran gets these drone aircraft and decides to fly them over our country? Heck, it doesn't even have to be a foreign country ... it could be some well-funded paramilitary group. Yes.....It's a dangerous world. - And getting more and more dangerous all the time, as the technology advances. Yet another reason why we should have followed Patton's advice.... |

There's no reason why we couldn't use these drones in air-to-air combat.....Beats using real pilots who can get killed. Maybe we could just have a "robot war" over the ocean somewhere.....Or, (better yet) on the Moon. |

I gave up listening to Fox News for the desperate sometime ago, in much the same way I don't listen to Limbaugh or Savage, all provide "unbalanced" misinformation, and as such their characters are as questionable and unreliable as their reportage. -- Regards, Savageduck |
