What I am talking about is that you seem to think that it is Okay that we have collateral damage or kills NOW that is your guy doing it.

I stand firm on my belief that is it part of war weather or not it is my guy in there or someone I wish was not in there. It is my belief, not a convenient political belief.

Have I misread your post? If so I am sorry.

I never said it was OK. It happens though and if you are fighting a war innocent civilians are murdered. And, I have always thought that Bush's war in Afghanistan was necessary to take down the group behind 9/11. Saddam Hussein was not behind 9/11.

If we "torture" (waterboarding=make believe drowning) suspected terrorists, that is bad for our nation's reputation.

If we rain down fiery death from above, acting as judge, jury and executioner; killing anyone near our target as a consequence, that is not bad for our nation's reputation.

OK, got it.

Maybe, we should go back to CIA agents with poisoned umbrellas? But, how would this CIA agent even get close enough to a terrorist cell which probably only allows close family members into its group?

How would you suggest taking down these suspected terrorists, RichieLion?

What's Wrong With That?
 

I'd only ask this question...if the much cheaper drones are more effective militarily than the hugely expensive fleet of nuclear submarines or if special forces are more effective than large land armies, what's wrong with reducing further spending on those types of military assets?

They Are
 

How do you count the tens of thousands of Iraquis killed by bomb attacks, continuing to this day. They all began after the U.S. invaded Iraq and continue to this day. Are they "collateral damage"? I'd argue that they are.

Poisoned umbrellas?; watching some James Bond movies are we?

I've already said I don't have a problem with killing enemies everywhere we can. It was always the pinko liberals who cried about war and death and protested in the roads leading to President Bush's family ranch in Texas to lament the death and destruction, and calling him and his supporters war hawks.

I'm just having a good time illustrating how the fake drowning of a terrorist suspect to elicit information, which is called waterboarding, is more egregious in the mind of a Democrat leftist than a sudden and fiery death from above.

I guarantee you, the suspected terrorist would agree with me; that his fiery death is worse.
