Libs say terrorism can't be fought with just the military, and that it is more a societal problem. Likewise...

Question

random acts of violence like VA Tech can't be solved by banning guns, but rather identify why people are going apesh**. So does it make sense that those who want to withdrawal from the Middle East also want to ban guns?

Answer 1

Well, they do. The democrats are notoriously anti-gun. They mistakenly believe that peace is a lack of conflict. It is not. Real peace is a lack of threat. As long as there are those who threaten us there is no peace whether you choose to ignore them or not.

Answer 2

For the liberal idiots saying we only went into the middle east because of OIL, so where is the CHEAP OIL then ??

Libs say terrorism can not be fought with just Military, wow what a bombshell, its not like we do not know that already, which is why its not just being fought by tthe Military, lib dem defeatocrats need to shut up as they have no clue how to defeat an enemy other than RUN AWAY and have timetables. The Enemy is laughing its head of at the home grown retards in the USA calling themselves democrats and announcing how they are going to make us lose any war by being traitors, and TELLING the enemy when we are going to run away.

To the "Map" guy above who said this ..""Why do cons always look for a simple, one size fits all solution to a problem. If you're saying that terrorism can only be fought with the military then you don't understand the scope of the issue.""

Cons have NEVER said it is purely a Military aspect to fight the terrorists, where did you pluck that one from ??? the war is being fought by more than Just the Military and has been from day one, so what the hell are you libs mouthing off about?

Answer 3

Why do cons always look for a simple, one size fits all solution to a problem. If you're saying that terrorism can only be fought with the military then you don't understand the scope of the issue.

How do you know that banning guns wouldn't have prevented what happened yesterday? Having them be legal hasn't helped a whole hell of a lot.

Answer 4

Don't be an idiot. Nobody went into the Middle East to chase down terrorists. They went after the oil.

-----------------------------------------

Paddy,

The wealthy capitalists don't go to get the oil so you can have cheap gas. They are looking to secure oil contracts in order to enrich themselves -- and that comes at your expense, too. The wealthy don't have any more love for you than they do the Iraqis that they are killing. In fact, if you stood in their way, they would kill you too.

Major General Smedley Butler came to understand war very well. The following is an excerpt from a speech he gave in
1933:

War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I
believe, as something that is not what it seems to the
majority of people. Only a small inside group knows
what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of
the very few at the expense of the masses.

I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and
nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight,
then we'll fight. The trouble with America is that
when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then
it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent.
Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers
follow the flag.

I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect
some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only
two things we should fight for. One is the defense of
our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for
any other reason is simply a racket.

There isn't a trick in the racketeering bag that the
military gang is blind to. It has its "finger men" to
point out enemies, its "muscle men" to destroy
enemies, its "brain men" to plan war preparations, and
a "Big Boss" Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism.

It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a
comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent
thirty- three years and four months in active military
service as a member of this country's most agile
military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all
commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to
Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of
my time being a high class muscle- man for Big
Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In
short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.

I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time.
Now I am sure of it. Like all the members of the
military profession, I never had a thought of my own
until I left the service. My mental faculties remained
in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of
higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the
military service.

I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for
American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti
and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank
boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of
half a dozen Central American republics for the
benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is
long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international
banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I
brought light to the Dominican Republic for American
sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to
it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.

During those years, I had, as the boys in the back
room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I
feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints.
The best he could do was to operate his racket in
three districts. I operated on three continents.
