re: #130 Killgore Trout

I don’t think Israel asks for permission from the US before they act. They are a free country and they make their own decisions.

Also, Israel won the war decades ago. The problem is that their defeated enemy doesn’t surrender. It’s a pretty unique case in the history of warfare.

We supposedly kicked Saddam Hussein’s ass in the first Gulf War but because we left an arab despot alive, Saddam Hussein claimed VICTORY and to islamists & jihadists, stayin’ alive IS victory. They’re like viruses—such low forms of life!

Saddam Hussein built himself many Victory Over America memorials. I saw footage of one that our troops bombed while it was still under construction.

Despotic terrorists must be seen to lose, and have it done publicly. Terrorists must be humiliated.

President Bush is laughed at by our enemies in part because he did NOT bring Osama’s head on a spike, but let him live.
