Actually I would resort to that too but only under one scenario.
In fact,
IF that one scenario ever came to pass, and I was the commander-in-chief, my response would make yours look like you were Caspar Milqetoast throwing water balloons. And it would make "butchmeup" Graham look like a goddamn mother theresa.
I've posted this a dozen times over the last 6 years. But since seaoat obviously never read it, I'm now gonna waste the time I should be spending on mowing the weeds to write it again for him.
If I was the President of the United States, this would be my Middle East foreign policy...
I would travel to the studios of Al Jazeera in Qatar and I would address all the peoples of the Middle East.
I would be very clear about my new Middle East foreign policy. That it is comprised of three elements and none of them are negotiable.
1. I'm getting my country completely off the Middle East oil teat and accomplish that goddamn quickly no matter what I have to do to make it happen.
2. Once that is accomplished, I will immediately withdraw all U.S. military presence in that entire region. And the suni and the shia will then be free to commit whatever atrocities on each other they wish to. And my country will sever all relations with your part of the world. I will even try to discourage Americans from ever even visiting the fucking place again.
3. BUT, and last but definitely not least, once I have pulled my country out of that god-forsaken place, I will then have a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY.
From then on, if any American is harmed by any "terrorist" from that part of the world, your region will suffer dire consequences. I will pinpoint wherever that terrorist is coming from, and I will then turn everything within 50 miles of that location into a burned out cinder. Period.
There will be no consideration given to "collateral damage". In fact I will then intentionally try to exact as much collateral damage as possible. Same as you assholes did at the World Trade Center. I will adopt those same rules of engagement.
In other words, once I stop poking the wasps nest, I will then have a ZERO TOLERANCE policy against any wasp which stings me. And if that happens, I will literally vaporize that wasp nest and every wasp inside it.
