I Was Just Interviewed By WBAI Radio!
Christian Zionist:
Great job Lisa :clap:

I guess it probably won't air because you were against the messiah.

And Angry Chinese Kahanist, I have no idea when the interview will air. And in all honesty, I'm self conscious about hearing my own voice.

Thanks.
It really takes guts in a liberal city to speak your mind. There are crazy leftist protestors who are capable of anything. It's not easy to take on someone who interviews people every day when you're not used to it. I know I couldn't come up with responses when put on the spot like that.

Angry Chinese Kahanist, I just went to the website (and that station is very left wing) to look for it, but couldn't find it.
Dan Ben Noah, normally I'm not quick with my mouth. But I think running two blogs, and guest blogging for a friend help, because I get to read lots of news feeds.

In regards to body armour for the troops, I would bring up that the underlying issue is that President Clinton cut the military so dramatically that Bush had to respond to a diminished military and build it up over a number of years. Also, no president will be able to forsee every challenge in the country and wars in the past were fought with much less or incorrectly routed resources. The armour problem was addressed and when troops in WW2 didn't have needed resources or the French incorrectly took on German troop advances, people then didn't harp on the failures. They learned from them and focused on the enemy. The focus on partisan nitpickings while we are at war with a ruthless, brutal enemy is folly and dangerous.
Also, I would challenge the idea of terrorism. I would say that terrorism is a tactic of the weaker side but the bottom line is we have a war of ideals, peoples and religions. We should yield the right to use terrorism against an enemy if they do not follow the rules of war. (This would be one approach)
You could also say that McCain was drafted and America fought an enemy with imperfect resources and there was no smart bomb technology. Also, that McCain had targeted civilians is actually a completely disproven charge that not even the left wing mainstream media or the Obama campaign have taken on.

These are all very good, knowledgeable points, but the problem with using this line of argument is that it implicitly concedes this Geneva Convention BS. We should never accept these draconian and anti-Western so called "standards." If we need to induce collateral damage during a military operation in order to best advance our tactical goals, we must!
