POLL: WHAT SHOULD WE DO in the war on terrorism?

P.S. I'm gonna buy my pre-pubescent hooker from a poor Romanian family.

if it's the end of the world, would you snort coke off a hooker, or heroin?

I'm definitely doing both, but I'll have to pass on the Good Doctor being the hooker.

i take it the doctor isn't that good, then…

Terrorism isn't a threat.

Both, but snorting is for pussies.

how about making a fucking timetable and knowing SPECIFICALLY and REALISTICALLY the outcome we're looking for before we go to war in the first place…

This sounds good and all, and by no means do I defend the position we're in in Iraq, but wars and world conflicts usually don't adhere to timetables and such.

I just was thinking that if the world is ending, it might be difficult to find a needle.

Aye, it's true. Okay, so maybe we sit down and actually define "War on Terror"…what exactly it entails…what exactly we expect to get out of all this as a nation…at what point we have reached a favorable outcome…at what point we have failed and should give up…know exactly what we're fighting towards, you know?

we're fighting for our freedom. the terrorists, they hate our freedom. they want to wrap you up in a burka and keep you for learning how to read.

I think that was meant to be sarcastic, but that IS what Islamists want. Al Qaeda and its knockoffs are basically a ghoulish, global death cult which would like to turn the entire world back to the 12th century, where women were treated as livestock and people were tortured to death for the smallest imagined moral offenses.

The problem with the War on Terror is that terrorism is a means, and it's a means that has been around since the beginning of time and will be around forever (and which we've employed when it suited us, too). Thus by definition such a war can never end.

I'd be much more comfortable with a Global War against Al Qaeda, or a Global War against Islamofascism. That way you've got a limited enemy – I'd say no more than 15,000 - 20,000 tops as far as instigators and people actually willing to do something. Rather than attacking nations, we should be focused on knocking off these individuals and their support systems, one by one. Radical clerics in London? Deport 'em. Radical mosques in Newark? Close 'em. Financial backers? Shoot 'em. It all could be over in 10 years.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

send bush, cheney, and rummy off to the front lines.

a quick end to war would entail having a draft for all males over 18, no exceptions.

The war would end even faster if extra weight were given to all males over 18 with familial ties to senate, congressional, and executive branch representatives. You ever see any of these political fuckers sending their kids off to fight their war?

It's coming sooner than you expect, don't worry. But it won't be the end of the troubles. The war is in it's infant stage now.

I got into an argument on Facebook regarding the burkas and burkinis and hijabs or whatever


I just hate the damn things and think women are brainwashed into wearing them…. but it seems like liberals are really trying to push the its "freedom of religion" thing…

ANyways, I think I burned a bridge or two…..
