Just "mow the whole place down"

Post by Vympel »

"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."

Trent Lott.

Dumbass.

I will play devil's advocate. Perhaps he was simply speaking out of frustration. Aren't we all frustrated with the situation? Honestly, who here hasn't joked around once or twice, by saying something akin to "Just Glass the middle east and be done with it." Granted WE'RE not politicians and constantly in the public eye...but frustration has a sinister habit of overriding common sense sometimes. I don't think he was serious, but it was still a stupid thing to say. I'm still amazed at Dubya, though. this country will stay the course...I just want to scream. Of COURSE we will, because we kinda screwed ourselves into staying it, huh?

He wasn't joking.

As a side note, politicians with half a brain don't crack jokes about foreign policy fuckups [costing lives] because they first don't want to look callous, and second they fear the press and political opponents could take the joke out of its context to make the politician look like a bastard.

Seriously, Trent Lott is Sheppard clone #10 from way back when the program
was started as a way to ensure the South would rise again, so It's not
surprising this :lol:

Trent Lott could openly demand an invasion and followup annexation of 95% of South America while advocating mass-genocide without sinking any lower politically than he already has.

ASk Hemlock Grey, he's in charge of the Shep Program:


You know, every once in a while, I think that maybe Shep is a real person-then
I read a post like that and realize, no, he can only be the product of a hundred
thousand twisted scientists laboring deep below Washington D.C. under the
instruction of the NRA and Strom Thurmond, and then I realize that our Shep is
merely MKSheppard Mk. 1, and soon there will be thousands more and at the
critical moment his creators will strike, reanimating the corpse of Robert E.
Lee, ressurecting Jefferson Davis, and they willsend the New Confederate Army,
consisting entirely of MKSheppard modules 50K through 250K, to bring the North
to it's knees, secure Southern independence, and ensure that the Confederate
battle flag flies over South Carolina once more!

...sorry

I am just wondering if Boydkin took him up on this idea, and actually ordered a massacure, some soldier refused to obey under the "Illegal Order" clause, and was promptly sent away for court martial, what would our international legal obligation be. Would we let the world court try Boydkin and Lott?

Likely I've been amassing a GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC, minus mecha, consisting entirely of clones of the great patriot Sergeant York for just such an eventuality.

Damn, that's depressing that Trent Lott is a shep clone....I know he has Rommel as his av, but I kinda plastered that face on the image of shep in my mind...now Trent Lotts ugly mug is going to be there...unless we can chalk him up to an abberation of the program, and all the others do, in fact, resemble Rommel.

The Nathan clones weren't quite ruthless enough to let the south truly rise again, so the Shep clones had to be made. The Shep you know is actually a clone, but Trent Lott is one of the 182 year old Shep clones. Didn't know cloning was that old, did ya? :D

Well once, the Native American who was the first field medic on the scene at Mai Lei lives here in Yosemite, is little bit of fame was testifying at the court martial of the officer that ordered the Massacare, and subsequent rapes.
