1 The only good jihadi is a dead jihadi. -- William Tecumseh Sherman

2 Obama is busy making tens of thousands more jihadis in Libya.

3 Only 30 million jihadis left. Ooops.

4 Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

Also, I think the idea that killing them makes more jihadis fails the smell test. 

It might work (maybe) if they were killing more of us than we were of them AND they weren't busy killing their own.  However, eventually the true fanatics will all be dead, and the ones left will be more practical.  They'll see, straightaway, the problem in "dying for the cause."

6 Fox edited the video. LeMay actually said, "If you vote out enough of them, the sons of bitches stop fighting."

In a promo yesterday, Wolf Blitzer announced that they were next going to take a look at the machine that was helping to keep Dick Cheney alive.

That made me laugh.

May Darth Cheney live a very long time.

I never made it out into Anbar, not my sector, but the only foreign fighters who could fight worth a shit from what I ever heard were the Chechens.

The Saudis were scary fucks from a money/ideology standpoint, but they couldn't handle a weapon other than a suicide belt or a car bomb. Unfortunately too many did. Fucking Saudis.

11 Dick Cheney is a machine.  Kept alive by blood of media souls, or something.

12 Leftism is a severe mental disorder.

The first paragraph you cite reminds of of when Deepak Chopra's kid was doing the rounds on TV because he wrote an article saying we needed a Marshall Plan for the Middle East.

He neglected to acknowledge why the original Marshall plan was even necessary in post war europe.

Specifically because the Axis powers were totally destroyed by the Allied powers. They had to rebuild because the allies burned everything to the ground during the war. Entire cities and most industrial production.

These people only look at the post war actions and gleen lessons from it. They neglect to look at what happened during America's victorious wars.

15 Dick Cheney keeps a night light on in his room.  Not because he's afraid of the dark.  The dark is afraid of Dick Cheney.

16 i love cheney....i wish bush had listened to him more...i wish he was in good enough health to run now.........

17 Dick Cheney had "The Talk" with his dad when he was 10 years old. His Dad learned a lot.

18 Dick Cheney keeps a night light on in his room.  Not because he's afraid of the dark.  The dark is afraid of Dick Cheney.

I thought the night light keeps Dick Cheney in the room. To protect it from the dark.

20 GENEVA — The U.S. has tumbled further down a global ranking of the world's most competitive economies, landing at fifth place because of its huge deficits and declining public faith in government, a global economic group said Wednesday. The announcement by the World Economic Forum was the latest bad news for the Obama administration, which has been struggling to boost the sinking U.S. economy and lower an unemployment rate of more than 9 percent.

21 Chris Wallace Shows Cheney the sign on the Today Show.

Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace displayed to former Vice President Dick Cheney how NBC’s Today show on Tuesday had ended Matt Lauer’s interview with him by pulling back to highlight an Amnesty International protest sign (“TORTURE IS A CRIME: INVESTIGATE CHENEY”) in the crowd on the street.

Wallace wondered: “What do you make of that? I mean, I somehow doubt that if Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama were speaking, they would have taken the shot and then suddenly a person with a sign would have been putting their picture up. I mean, simply, do you think there is a liberal bias in the mainstream media?”

Cheney, who seemed to have not seen the video before, chuckled as he repeated the sign’s line, “investigate Cheney.” Out on a media tour to promote his memoirs, Cheney demurred on a chance to condemn NBC News, replying to Wallace’s liberal bias suspicion: “Oh, I think there probably is. But I don’t spend a lot of time worrying about it.”

His health isn't the reason he's not running.  It's just that they'd have to do major rennovations to the oval office to make room for Cheney's giant barbed warcock.

23 Yet here at home, the Obama Administration adopts the enemy's tactics by whooping it up with Big Labor Jihadists to crush the barbarians at the gate.

Savvy.

24 How did this whole ignore enemy casualties thing get started in the military? Was it pressure from civilian "leaders"? It's a really dumb, and frankly, dangerous mindset.

"The only good jihadi is a dead jihadi. -- William Tecumseh Sherman"

IIRC that was General Phil Sheridan.

About the bold-faced phrases in the second block quote, it's not a contradiction; remember, the leftists are the party of nuance (dang, no sarcasm emoticon).

26 @26: I suspect it's related to enabling the media to spin various tactical victories in Vietnam as terrible losses (e.g. the Tet Offensive).

27 How did this whole ignore enemy casualties thing get started in the military?

I think they just measure it in trailer truck loads now.  Some settling may occur.

28 > 18 Anyone got a link for that, BTW? Posted by: Beefy Meatball A link for the VDH column? It's in the first line.

I don't know, but i remember after the Highway of Death it seemed like the military became extremely sensetive about offering death counts.

To this day there is no accurate number to how many retreating Iraqi soldiers were killed.  Tens of thousands most likely.

I think he meant a link to Beck's pig bombs audio that he mentioned in #16.

31 Also, I think the idea that killing them makes more jihadis fails the smell test.

You don't know the half of it...

32 it was immoral of Cheney to approve the waterboarding of three confessed terrorists like KSM, but quite moral of Obama to expand fivefold the Predator targeted-assassination program that served as judge, jury, and executioner of suspected terrorists


What a double standard? The DEUCE you SAY!

33

The reason body counts aren't a good indicator of a war's progress, is that during Vietnam, commanders, who's only purpose was to get their tickets punched for promotion would exagerate body counts.  After any type of engagement they would go to extremes to increase the body count.

A leg would be counted as a body.  An arm would be counted as another body, the head, etc, etc.  Even though all those parts could be just the remains of one enemy soldier.

34 You don't have to kill them all, just visibly castrate the leaders and avid followers. We did this in Iraq and work circulated and then no more volunteer hadjis. War is for adults, thats why America isn't up to it anymore. We have child's view of the world and it shows every time I look at Sparky. Skittles and rainbows baby.

35 Cheney's heart pump will never stop out of sheer terror of what he'd do to it if it ever f'n goofed.

36 You don't have to kill them all, just visibly castrate the leaders and avid followers.

They tried that with Palinistas, but it didn't work.

37 Body counts, like material counts are an age old metric of success in war. If the army you are fighting is loosing men and major material assets (i.e., tanks) then what you are doing is working. Body counts in Vietnam were a reasonable metric given that VC had no material assets of any meaningful measure. If we had secured and held positions instead of humping through the hills on search and destroy missions we would probably have won. Wrong tactics, not wrong metrics. Just sayin.

That was Jesse Jackson's plan for the SCOAMF, until he found out the SCOAMF didn't have any balls.

So THAT'S where all the "jobs created or saved" are that the SCOAMFOTUS keeps talking about.  Heck, they're even shovel ready!  You need a shovel to scrape their suicided jihadi carcasses off the sidewalk when they prematurely blow themselves up.

Posted by: Sub-Tard Creighton Abrams strategy did work - and we did "win". But then the 1975 Congress voted to not supply ammo to the South when they were under attack and the North pulled victory from defeat.

41 I love the fact that Cheney is now part cyborg, kept alive by machines. JUST LIKE DARTH VADER.

42 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

43 Cheney: "Barack . . . I am your father." Barack: "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

But, we were winning militarily, that wasn't the problem. The problem was the Democrats back home, like always.

45
In 2013, President Perry orders the still under construction USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) renamed the USS Dick Cheney.

The ship's seal, designed by the commissioning crew, depicts a jihadi cowering under Cheney's massive barbed warcock.   The caption on the seal is "Go fuck yourself" (in honor of the directive Cheney once gave to Sen. Patrick Leahy.)

A sailor can dream...

46 Every insication points to Iraq being the flypaper for these Jihadi scum.  The military should be proud about the fact that they took on and destroyed a determined terrorist enemy.  They also should be pointing these facts out so the military members who fought there and especially the loved ones of the fallen know their sacrifices were not meaningless.

47

The problem with the body count issue is not merely that it became a matter for ticket-punchers.  You could still do the same thing with the same results, but the actual disadvantage was that making it public gave the lefties the opportunity to call our military a bunch of murderous fanatics bent on killing large numbers of the enemy.  That this was a bad thing was implied and a few, mostly the better educated, bought the whole idea.
