Conservatives want to nuke Iraq.
They want victory to save face.

No more Vietnams they say.

Rules of engagment have hampered the war they say.

Turn it to glass and take what is left.

They won't say it openly...but it is what they are thinking...and whispering to themselves.

I've read posts from conservatives stating that we "turn Iraq into a sheet of glass".

9. I've heard
Liberals say they want to see the bush twins raped an mutilated by iraqi insurgents, it doesn't mean liberals want that. Just a sick few that can't apply there values equally.

13. My mother a devout Catholic Republican says we should nuke them
She first stated this over three years ago when the Iraqis would not to submit to our occupation. She said something to the effect that they would be better off because they didn't have anything anyway. She tends to bring up subjects that her and her Republican friends have been discussing recently.

Sorry no link. Just my sad story.

14. Yes very sad
I think my point is that there are extremists attached to all ideologies, but it is a gross generalization to suggest Conservatives want to nuke Iraq.

I find these kind of generalizations unproductive.

4. I've heard people say it...
Edited on Tue Jun-27-06 08:58 PM by misternormal
... "Get the hell out of there and then nuke the place"... It is not uncommon...

The Conservative (Neo-Con) view is to win at all cost... That is why our Military is still there... That is why * says "Stay the course"...

I mean his daddy won after all... He has to do better than his daddy, or mommy won't let him come home for Christmas...

5. That's what we used to say in the navy back in the 60's and early 70's.
Edited on Tue Jun-27-06 09:42 PM by tjwash
Except back then it was regarding Vietnam. "Nuke the Gooks," "nuke 'em all let god sort 'em out," all that kind of macho bullshit spewed from macho jerkoffs. And yes, back then I was one one of them. I managed to grow out of it after I pulled my first burned up corpse out of an F-4 phantom that crashed on the flight deck after a sortie; the start of my education on what a disgusting waste war is.

Sad to say, most people don't grow out of it.

Glad to see we have come so freakin' far in the past thirty years and learned from all of our mistakes.

6. I think the neocons want to wait until we get the oil first.
No point in ruining all that oil just to keep our military safe from insurgents and "win". :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:
