Kill the Enemy

Got this link thru LGF. Ralph Peters is a retired Army officer, who writes essays and columns. They are well worth reading, as he proves in this article.

Quote: 'Consider our enemies in the War on Terror. Men who believe, literally, that they are on a mission from God to destroy your civilization and who regard death as a promotion are not impressed by elegant maneuvers. You must find them, no matter how long it takes, then kill them. If they surrender, you must accord them their rights under the laws of war and international conventions. But, as we have learned so painfully from all the mindless, left-wing nonsense spouted about the prisoners at Guantanamo, you are much better off killing them before they have a chance to surrender.'

Quote: 'But we do have superior killing power, once our enemies have been located. Ultimately, the key advantage of a superpower is super power. Faced with implacable enemies who would kill every man, woman, and child in our country and call the killing good (the ultimate war of attrition), we must be willing to use that power wisely, but remorselessly.'

To sum up Peters' point: The US are in Iraq to liberate. To be free you must be secure, safe. To be safe, you need the psychopaths to be dead.

Read it all. It's an eye-opener.
