Trent Lott says: "we just mow the whole place down, see what happens"
http://www.thehill.com/news/102903/gopunity.aspx

...“Honestly, it’s a little tougher than I thought it was going to be,” Lott said. In a sign of frustration, he offered an unorthodox military solution: “If we have to, we just mow the whole place down, see what happens. You’re dealing with insane suicide bombers who are killing our people, and we need to be very aggressive in taking them out.”...

1. Yellow-belly chickenhawk cowards like
Lott are pretty loose with other peoples lives, especially since they never put themselves in harms way.

2. Why are bigots like this...
Edited on Sun Nov-02-03 11:19 AM by liberalmuse
representing 'We The People'? This is sick, and this sorry excuse for a human being needs to be called out on it. The fact that his ass is still in the Senate speaks volumes about this country.

4. Another "we had to destroy the country to save it"
statement from the chickenhawking cheerleaders that make up the Republican War Profiteering Party.

5. Texas
they keep trying to say that this is nothing like Vietnam ...

well, let's see ... we're in a war with no end in sight ... many have argued that we cannot "control the population" with current troop strengths ... there's talk of reinstituting the draft ...

and now Uncle Trent wants to "mow the whole place down" .... wasn't that the main idea of using Agent Orange in Vietnam? defoliate those jungles to make the world safe for democracy ...

Trent is great ... but he doesn't go far enough ... here's my plan ... we kill off all the Iraqis ... or maybe just send them all to Cuba ... well, maybe not the ones who work in the nice hotels ... then, because they seem so eager to be there, we send all the republicans from this country to colonize Iraq ... it would be much easier for them to bring about any form of government they wanted if they didn't have to deal with those damned Iraqis ... and think of it ... no more democrats obstructing them at every turn ...

Of course, you couldn't call the place Iraq anymore ... that would connote too many bad images ... I suppose we could hire a bunch of marketing guys to do research on a new name ... Nahhhhh ... let's just call the place: Texas.

10. Operation Iraq Liberation
I like this name for the War...because that is what Bu$h wants us to belive, but when you look closer it spells: O.I.L.

I think we could all start calling this Operation Iraqi Liberation for this reason.

8. It's bad enough that we've gone in there,
"drawn in the terra-ists" and proceeding to fight in someone else's backyard, but now the American bullies want to eradicate all life in the cradle of civilization?

Lott is appealing to his RW base for talk of Armageddon. Creep.

14. There are more than a few...
... who agree with Mr. Lott's ideas. We heard them during the Vietnam War also. They were saying we should just bomb Vietnam off the face of the earth. Because we can.

Amazing that so many other nations have managed to get along with one another, albeit less than perfectly, without bombing the people they don't like off the face of the earth.
