That’s why he’s unable to see Hamas as having any culpability for actions. In his mind, Hamas is a noble band of freedom fighters. What's NOT noble about : Strapping suicide bombs on children? Strapping suicide bombs on mentally ill? Hiding weapons inside mosques? Hiding behind women & children during firefights? Launching 3,000 missiles into civilian areas? Those are all very noble things right? What’s noble about murder? What’s noble about rape? What’s noble about selling drugs to minors? Yet, still Innercity gangs are romanticized and glamorized by American popular culture. This is all too common mindset. It’s a naïve one, but it exists.

America has to show up because just look at Europe for the past 200 years. Ok I know Israel is a powerful lobbyist in DC. A couple of weeks ago I'm in a bar in Vegas yakken about a bet that ran in November on the Superbowl last year. This dude was really sharp, my age, he explains why the house had that bet on the board and how they new the pats or colts wouldn't win after a few beers he tells me he is a counter intelligence agent for the company. So of course I dump on him. I was drunk but fun to talk too. He says that poitical correctness is killing this country. And he had told that there putting the wrong people in critical positions. As a field agent the people in command position are just inept. Now with Obama putting this dude as head CIA show that cat was right on. Obama won but it looks like another Clinton administration. Man I am sick of Bush and Clinton. We are going into hard times. Ain't looken good. "Battle of Serenity, Mal. Besides Zoe here, how many-" "I'm talkin at you!

But with Obama & Panetta now in charge of keeping all of us safe, I'm swinging back to Al Qaida. Like Carter and Clinton, Obama & Panetta will gut the agency again. Panetta will be firewall between the CIA & The White House, and morale at the CIA will suffer. CIA needs an experienced war-time leader, not some competant administrator with no intelligence experience. Many ex-CIA guys are predicting the gutting of the CIA, and are also predicitng terror attacks this year in the US. If we do get a major hit from Al Qaida, it will fall squarely on he shoulders of Obama. If Panetta's going to use The Army Field Manual as his template for prisoner handling, which was written for privates, not officers or civilians, then we'll never get an ounce of intelligence again. No more aggressive interrogationss, no more overseas phone tapping, bye-bye-Patriot Act, etc. I wonder even after we're attacked, and thousands, or tens of thousand of Americans are dead, how long it will take the first Liberal to come out from hiding under his cherished Obama campaign sign to blame America for it.

Of course you are correct, but try to keep in mind the silver lining in this cloud. When attacks are made and large bodycounts occur, they will be in "population centers" aka cities. Guess which political loonies are centralized in cities? The Liberals, of course!! The vast majority of voting wards in the country are conservative, only outweighed by the city populations. Think of this historical turnaround: For centuries the guardians of freedom have given the ultimate sacrifice, the more conservative type have perished, becoming The Silent Majority - their genetic lines terminated, all to protect the liberals and other cowards, who multiply and dilute the ritheous voting pool. Now, the liberals will have their constituents perishing, ridding us of their evil and/or cluelessness, all for the sake of Liberalism and increasing the Federal debt. I'm thinking that's peotic justice, but maybe some might think it irony.

For some reason when people start talking about cleansing the gene pool of faulty politics - and how awesome it would be - I get twitchy. Must be because my own country had really funny ideas along the same lines, just about 60 to 70 years back. I'm sure those guardians of freedom you speak about would be delighted with your point of view that city populations being attacked is a great thing for your country. I suspect my sarcasm detector may be off. I just can't believe you really meant that.

Quote: KWICKO DT, it gets even worse - It was people exactly like Finn (and I'll bet he was one of them) who, along with Reagan, ridiculously romanticized the Mujahideen in the 80's, and called them things like "freedom fighters". And then they turned around and did the same thing with the Contras in Central America. So everything he has accused you of loving about Hamas, is the same things that he loved about other terrorist groups, so long as they served our interests, more or less, at the time. It's not that he's agasint terrorism or death squads - it's just that he's against it if it's not wrapped in an American flag first.

So you are saying that when you arbitrarily assigned an opinion to Rue (Hamas is warm and fuzzy), you were acting out of desperation?

Quote:Originally posted by jewelstaitefan: But consider an analogy. When some miscreant shkes a soda vending machine until it falls over and crushes him/her to death, do you think, "oh gosh, too bad he didn't also kill and innocent child bystander at the same time?" Often, I conjure in Jayne style, coulda seen that coming.
Quote: So when the Americans are going to be killed, the point was in this new scenario, the Liberals are campaigning for the terrorists to be targeting liberals in cities to be killed. If some are to end up dead by their own actions and beliefs, better them than those who would rather defend against these attacks.
