Do you not see that they may think the same of _your_ policies? Do you
not see how objectionable and inflammatory it is to even begin to talk
of "eradicating them"?

Like they eradicated most the people in the twin towers? I'm mnot
talking of Muslins or Islamic people Nav. I'm talking about Jihad
Islamic fanatics.

Gee Im sorry if I upset the feeling of mad dog killers dancing in the
streets celebrating the deaths of 1000's of American. Can you forgive
me?

You're kidding me right?

More info for your Mooron.

Okinawa was the largest amphibious invasion of the
Pacific campaign and the last major campaign of the Pacific War. More
ships were used, more troops put ashore, more supplies transported,
more bombs dropped, more naval guns fired against shore targets than
any other operation in the Pacific. More people died during the Battle
of Okinawa than all those killed during the atomic bombings of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Casualties totaled more than 38,000 Americans
wounded and 12,000 killed or missing, more than 107,000 Japanese and
Okinawan conscripts killed, and perhaps 100,000 Okinawan civilians who
perished in the battle.

The battle of Okinawa proved to be the bloodiest battle of the Pacific
War. Thirty-four allied ships and craft of all types had been sunk,
mostly by kamikazes, and 368 ships and craft damaged. The fleet had
lost 763 aircraft. Total American casualties in the operation numbered
over 12,000 killed [including nearly 5,000 Navy dead and almost 8,000
Marine and Army dead] and 36,000 wounded. Navy casualties were
tremendous, with a ratio of one killed for one wounded as compared to
a one to five ratio for the Marine Corps. Combat stress also caused
large numbers of psychiatric casualties, a terrible hemorrhage of
front-line strength. There were more than 26,000 non-battle
casualties. In the battle of Okinawa, the rate of combat losses due to
battle stress, expressed as a percentage of those caused by combat
wounds, was 48% [in the Korean War the overall rate was about 20-25%,
and in the Yom Kippur War it was about 30%]. American losses at
Okinawa were so heavy as to illicite Congressional calls for an
investigation into the conduct of the military commanders. Not
surprisingly, the cost of this battle, in terms of lives, time, and
material, weighed heavily in the decision to use the atomic bomb
against Japan just six weeks later.

Japanese human losses were enormous: 107,539 soldiers killed and
23,764 sealed in caves or buried by the Japanese themselves; 10,755
captured or surrendered. The Japanese lost 7,830 aircraft and 16
combat ships. Since many Okinawan residents fled to caves where they
subsequently were entombed the precise number of civilian casualties
will probably never be known, but the lowest estimate is 42,000
killed. Somewhere between one-tenth and one-fourth of the civilian
population perished, though by some estimates the battle of Okinawa
killed almost a third of the civilian population. According to US Army
records during the planning phase of the operation, the assumption was
that Okinawa was home to about 300,000 civilians. At the conclusion of
hostilities around 196,000 civilians remained. However, US Army
figures for the 82 day campaign showed a total figure of 142,058
civilian casualties, including those killed by artillery fire, air
attacks and those who were pressed into service by the Japanese army.

Wrong again! That would be Georgia.

Maybe you should try google before you make an idiot out of yourself again.
Uhh, never mind, it's too late for that...

Well let me describe what I
felt when I saw those gleefull Palestineans full of joy when they
learned of all those innocent civilians that were *INTENTIONALLY*
killed? I felt like I wanted to go straight there in palestine with
an axe and a flame thrower and commit my own personal jihad.

Me too Joe.

I wonder what Jon thought while he watched it?

"If there's no wind, row."

Oz,

You answer that question; Would you use any means you had to get them
out?

Isn't that what we're doing? Wasn't the attack here in the United
States? Why don't you tells us where on this Globe that we attacked that
didn't have terrorist cells and recruiting and training camps.

Tell us where those murdering *******s are and we'll get them. They hide
behind civilian all over the world. Tell me how many have been informed
on by the people of the Mosques they attend. Those people that hide
them, are they innocent civilians. They have knowledge of those
*******s. Aren't they more guilty than the people they blow up?

What's the use of talking to a deaf ear. Just stay the hell out of our
way.

We will get them! In spite of your whining and crying we'll beat them.
If they are hiding in your neighborhood, MOVE. Tell us or become
victims.

WE WILL WIN!! The World will be Free and on our terms not the
Terrorist's terms.

How would you phrase that question... "Heh are you an affable Oriental of

I have an ID poster and can check:

I would not ask unless it became an issue.

I would fire up the grill, soak the steaks in secret sauce, peel
shrimp, icedown beer, put the rum in my captains crystal decanter.
Most likely we would just talk about boats, perhaps sail, or Dink up
into the wildlife refuge and tell Kanook & Aggie jokes.

Oz,

It is not a new Terrorist Regime, it the same old group of Terrorist
fighting to keep self government by the people from happening.

It rather like fighting the Indian Wars, fighting Terrorist. Even like
your struggle with the Aborigines down under. It isn't a nice fight. We
haven't managed it to well. However, we are not losing. We are winning.

A real plus is we don't have to go looking for the *******s, they're
commingle to us. We're knocking them off as they come. When they get
tired of being "Knocked Off" they call for a truce, When they get their
breath and re-supply they fight again and we knock some more off.

It's a dirty way of fighting but it is really the terrorist's choice,
not ours. Hopefully one of those "TRUCES" will hold up. Kind of like the
treaties with the Indians. It's a '****ty solution" but it may be the
only solution for now.

But, we are not losing. The Terrorist are dying at a terrible rate and
they can't wipe us out. That Oz, is what they really want to do. We have
to stay the Course. I prefer the battle field is in the Middle East,
were their supporters are and not on our soil.
