Xoros,

I thank you for your service regardless.

It is good to hear "ground truth" from good folks in theatre…

Be safe

Israel has attacked us, not goat herders in Afghanistan. Destroy Israel first and then we will talk.

No.

You'll keep blathering no matter what happens, and if you do get your little genocidal dreams to come true you'll likely pick another target to destroy next.

Pfff. You may think you're right, but you couldn't be any further away from it if the truth was on Earth, and you were orbiting Alpha Centauri.

Wrong. He's so far away from the truth he's left the edges of this Universe. (Which is to say: Beyond the Impossible.)

Really, you picked a ridiculously short distance location like Alpha Centauri to demonstrate how vile and mendacious this twit really is? Have you no sense of scale?

Apparently, you were out to lunch when I took your "doors of your home" analogy and not only expanded on it in a superior fashion, but actually succeeded in making you denounce it yourself.

Moreover, you determine the intent of an immigrant by subjecting them to a vigorous screening process. You put in the time and effort and investigate their history.

No one is suggesting that the United States "take your door off the hinges". But boarding them up is not the answer, either.

Like the prohibition experiment before it, the drug war is a failure.

It has helped bankrupt our nation, and causes unnecessary intervention in the affairs of other nations and our own people.

It has created a Nazi-like government agency in our midst and eroded our freedom.

Command and Control policies will never work. It's time to abolish the DEA and drug laws.

As Nancy Reagan demonstrated, only opprobrium reduced the use of drugs in this country. You must not hold back on a judgment that drug use is wrong. After all, deadening your brain, your only means of survival on this planet, is a sure way to destroy your life.

But all other government attempts is evil and wrong.

Having grown poppies myself, I will relate they are very susceptible to several commonly used herbicides that
primarily affect broadleaf plants. Herbicides that would prevent broadleaf plants (poppy), but would allow grass
leaf plants (wheat) to grow unfettered.

There is absolutely NO agricultural/horticultural reason these poppy fields still exist. NONE. There is also no
reason for the US military to be destroying these fields by hand, one by one, unless we wish to offer US war-
fighters up as targets for Taliban practice.

There are probably at least twenty herbicides that would kill this plant before it flowers. There are also several that
would prevent germination of the seed. Poppies sprout in the late fall, and remain semi-dormant all winter, so
small they are quite hard to see with the naked eye.. In areas where winter snow cover is common, they burst out
and begin growing aggressively, immediately after the spring thaw. This is the time to kill, not when full grown.

Is there not one single horticulturist in the US Military? If we don't wish to fly (too dangerous) these herbicides on
via crop duster, there are ground rigs now that could spray 2K acres a day. Why are we not using our latest tech-
nology to fight this problem? The pic on this piece is nothing but a staged photo-op. These plants have a tap-root resembling a carrot. They are related to dandelion. If only trampled or chopped off above ground, they will be back
fairly quickly………………… Dog and pony show, anyone?

Kept in the dark and fed BS like a mushroom – no wonder you support this nonsense. The military probably has all internet access restricted to "rah rah more war for Israel" sites like this. My posts are vitally important to you. Today I listened to a ZIONIST radio talk show host Michael Savage……even HE was bashing neocons like Kristol who are pro-war. LOL! Your support is evaporating. I guess Israel will soon set off a nuke or dirty bomb in the US and blame it on Iran. Any day now…
