Lott: "Mow them all down!"

[bubba_fett]

Asked whether he favored any policy changes in Iraq, Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.) responded: “We need to have a different mix of troops, is the key. We may need to move some troops around.”

Lott suggested moving more troops from the relatively stable south closer to the region around Tikrit, where attacks on U.S. forces have been common. He said there was a need for more trained military police, adding that his comments were not a criticism.

“Honestly, it’s a little tougher than I thought it was going to be,” Lott said. In a sign of frustration, he offered an unorthodox military solution: “If we have to, we just mow the whole place down, see what happens. You’re dealing with insane suicide bombers who are killing our people, and we need to be very aggressive in taking them out.”



Compassionate conservatism at it's finest.

Sorry if this is a dupe, which I'm sure it is considering the news hawks here at DU, but just in case...

2. This is what they want the "small nukes" for

It is frightening how many right wingers think it would be okay to take out a city or two in Iraq to prove that we are "in control".

5. Oh good Lotts going to help with the War. This should help.

After all every one in congress has made a sightseeing trip over at our cost. Nice to have a lot of comb overs, dyed hair, wigged old men do their duty specially when their is hardly one that went to any war or had a person in his family that went to war.Such a nice feeling for us all.

9. He's just having another flashback

Thought he was back in his youth, and as a young Chickenhawk, had just heard Curtis LeMay say; "Bomb'm back to the Stone Age".

He'll be ok once the new meds kick in.

10. I saw this today on...of all places...FAUX news

I could not hear the story, and only saw the little graphic under the picture that outlines the story. Since it was on FAUX I am sure that the story was framed to make Lies Lotts out to be a big hero for saying this. :puke:
