Winning Wars

Other than our invasion of Granada, we have not won a war in nearly seventy years. Yes, we drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait but did not finish the job and were right back in Iraq 13 years later in a second feeble attempt to clean up the mess left by George Bush 1. I believe there is a very simple explanation for the fact that we have become so inept on the battle field in recent times. As I have said before in this blog, it is impossible to win a war unless you are willing to kill the enemies' civilians, huge numbers of them, as we did in Germany and Japan in the second world war. We are told over and over again, by our present day brain-dead generals, that we cannot prevail against the rag-heads in Iraq and Syria without boots on the ground, hundreds of thousands of them. These meat-heads apparently have forgotten that, after Nagasaki and Hiroshima, Japan surrendered without us having to put a single boot on the ground. Similarly, after we leveled Dresden from the air, Germany surrendered. I would argue that air power, not boots on the ground, was the deciding factor in World War 11. Yes, boots on the ground were necessary, especially early in the war before Rosie The Riveter got her act together, but the war was ultimately won with air superiority which we used to kill civilians by the hundreds of thousands. By the way, did you know that over 60 million people were killed in the second world war, most of them civilians! In this respect, the photographs of the pin-point air strikes and the beheadings of the three innocent American and British citizens by the Muslim fanatics were very informative. These pictures and videos show that this war is being fought in a desert. Unlike Afghanistan, where the enemy could easily avoid air strikes by hiding in the numerous caves that pox-marked the countries rugged mountainous terrain, there is nowhere for the enemy, and their civilian supporters , to hide in the treeless mountain less deserts of Iraq and Syria. In short, this war could be over in a matter of days, without employing a single pair of boots on the ground, if we were willing to use our air superiority to eradicate the ISIS troupes, and their civilian followers, with bombs dropped from aircraft flying at 40,000 feet. It is unacceptable for us to place our military personal in harm's way simply because the enemies' troops choose to hide in the homes of civilians and in religious places of worship (mosques) when they are not committing their atrocities on the battle field. To date, we have let the enemy decide when, where and how to fight. In essence, we are fighting a war with not one, but with both hands, tied behind our back. Why, because we do not have the stomach for killing the enemies civilians, it's really as simple as that! We need a change in leadership in this country, leaders that value the lives of our military personnel more than the lives of the medieval vermin we are fighting. Along these lines, the idea that there is such a thing as a good Muslim, is a fantasy. Rather, they are lying low in their Mosques patently waiting for the day they can rise up and kill every Christian and Jew on the face of the earth. Unfortunately, I do not believe there is a single politician of either major political party that realizes the seriousness of the threat the Muslim faith is to our country, not a single one!
