The Texas Terrorist Attack Demands A Response

Rate: 12 Flag

soldiers-sihlo

One terrorist act was enough to start two patriotic wars in the Middle East. Now we have a new terrorist act in Texas with the largest body count since 9-11.

This act of terror demands we declare war on somebody. Since we are already at war with radical Islam, it can't be them. We could declare war on the U.S. Army. Or maybe just on psychologists. But these have logistical problems.  So what can we do?

I say declare War On Texas and begin a Shock And Awe campaign against Fort Hood. What?  You think I'm kidding?  I think this would make about as much geopolitifal sense to me as our wars in Afghanistan or Iraq.

Texas even has oil.  After we blow it up, we could use the oil revenues to rebuild it.  It wouldn't be like pissing away our funding in a foreign desert, we could piss it away in our desert.

The Major's killing spree is a clear demonstration, that no one is safe anywhere.  If we can't keep Fort Hood safe, how can we keep Kabul or Baghdad safe. The answer is we can't.  But isn't that what we're waiting for? For their streets to be safe?  Isn't that what's keeping us there?  Isn't each new attack there our purported reason to stay?

So let's either follow the logic of Bush-Cheney and send our predator drones into Texas, or if that doesn't make sense to you, then let's get the fck out of the other stupid wars that don't make any sense either.

You are the biggest nutball on this website. And on OS, that's saying a damn mouthful.
Oh please, please, can we bomb Texas??
(just half kidding)
Your post points out what has been said for years, now, by the more intelligent among us; terrorism requires a "police action", not "military action".

Rated for clever
Very clever. What are they going to do with all the Cadillac's with bull horns on them?
And they have weapons of mass destruction in Texas!
Noni, from you, that's a compliment.

Arde, I think we should bomb Texas, anyway.

Stella, thinking is overrated.

GJI, I think we could round up all the cars with bullhorns and have a like a cattle drive to Washington DC
Too soon. I'll come back in a couple months when this is funny.
I was typing something smart alecked, then I read Andy Heizeler's comment. I agree with him. Rated though.
Andy - I'm going to have to wait a lot longer than that. Sad.
You know, there's a sort of scary logic to this proposal that stopped me in my tracks. Yeah, I thought, that's the ticket. I have been all in favor of encouraging Texas to secede, but now that you mention it and I think about all the damage Texans have done to the nation, maybe you're way is best. And it certainly is at least as sensible as Afghanistan or Iraq.

The parallels are eerie.
What's the age limit for re-enlisting, just in case?

Nice idea, but Texas has seen its share of battles already. Texas won one against Mexico, and lost one to the U.S. They're, uh, we're, pretty much a US puppet state already. I do like the Bush-Cheney attack idea, but Cheney isn't here and Bush is now in Dallas County which went blue like all the other Texas Counties that matter, so you'd kill a bunch of your fellow Obama lovers if you went after GWB.

I do think Texas would put a much better fight against the US than, say, France did against Germany in '39. I have my weaponry ready when you guys are ready, though I think you pinkie-raising northeastern liberal types have a soft spot for my little town of Austin, Texafornia, so you should just spare all my "namaste" chanting leftie neighbors and just bomb my shack. My dog, two cats, and I are ready for the challenge.

If that is to risky to you, I suggest that you bomb Lubbock and College Station. It would be an immense act of urban renewal. Cheers.
