Be amused, very amused...

Gen. Richard Myers: U.S. Enemies Seek WMDs to End 'Our Way of Life'

Former top military commander Gen. Richard Myers tells Newsmax that America’s enemies in the war on terror are “ruthless” and “relentless” and will not hesitate to use nuclear or biological weapons if they obtain them.

“They want to do away with our way of life,” Myers tells Newsmax TV’s Ashley Martella. “They could bring great harm to this country and our friends and allies.”

Myers, who served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from October 2001 until September 2005, tells Newsmax that the U.S. focused too narrowly on tactical battles and failed to develop a long-rang strategy to battle terrorism.

...

“So like I said, they’re relentless, they’re ruthless. If they can get their hands on dangerous material, nuclear material, biological weapons, they wouldn’t hesitate to use them. They want to bring down the United States in particular and the West in general.”

1. Who was it that said something like:
Our enemies will never stop trying to destroy America and neither will we.

2. Or ...

If they could make us so paranoid that we're perfectly willing to hand over the entire treasury times three to fund wars directed at anyone and everyone, shred our Constitution, and start fighting amongst ourselves over things like how patriotic we are just by passing out amorphous threats every now and again. they would have succeeded in doing away with our "way of life" and would have brought "great harm to this country and our friends and allies."

Of course for that strategy to work, we have to have people in positions of power that are total morons.

7. They are out to get us.
We therefore need to kill another million or so of them; displace a couple million more; permanently injure another million; then steal their oil and install our corporations and banking systems while destroying theirs.

And of course, incarcerate and torture those who would resist us.

That will teach those "ruthless" and "relentess" terrorists.

God Bless America.

12. I'm sure that's true. We've pissed off a lot of people by killing
their families in two wars against people who didn't do a damn thing to us.

The Afgani people had NOTHING to do with 9/11 and the Taliban offered to hand over bin Ladin

The Iraqi people, no explanation necessary.

The Iranian people, we've been threatening them for years.

Shit, we don't sound all that peaceful ourselves.
