Quoted: After the gas has had effect, first and foremost, alpha fighters destroyed the female chechens with suicide bomber belts where in the US are you gonna find 18 year old boys willing to do this kind of work? to defeat the terrorist we will likely become something worse. |

Cohiba, the enemy is disposable in a most prejudicial way. I'm overjoyed that this was carried out like this. No future bomber bitches.

To deal w/ T's, you just gotta take care of business plain and simple. NO F&%KING around when it comes to anyone with a bomb strapped to them in your vicinity!
You must take out the Bomber Bitches first. You wouldn't want any of them waking up and "pushing the button!" |

Hmmm, makes you wonder about the idea of giving those with the weakest constitution the devices that provide the most deterrent. Smaller body mass, they are gonna sleep the quickest. In the future, I don't think they will make the same mistake. Remember, every encounter is a learning experience for BOTH sides.

I guess you must have missed our use of nuclear weapons, and the carpet/fire bombing of German and Japanese cities. We murdered hundreds of thousands of enemy civilians indiscriminately because it was the single quickest way to end the war (no people to work in factories to make weapons, no population base to put in uniform with a rifle). |

Those assholes deserved no less. I'm really glad that Russia didn't capitulate; if they had you'd be seeing a wholesale escalation in the magnitude of these kinds of hostage situations. And they'd be popping up all over the place. 700 hostages surrounded by an assload of terrorists with bombs strapped to themselves is an incredibly daunting thing... I think Putin handled it as well as he possibly could.

I heard a Russian Offical use a word I had not heard come out of the Russians mouths in a long time last night....He was refering to Chechnia
The word was LIQIUDATE. If I lived in the city of Grosney or there abouts...I think I would be looking for a place to hide. ...Because hells coming to breakfast. One must remember that the motto of the Russian Army has always been "Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing" |

When good destroys evil, good is still good.
I don't believe we "lower" ourselves to the terrorists level when we kill them by any means available. We are good, they are evil. Reguardless of how we kill them, we are still good. |

Oh I don't think we would use any form of CW. Both Delta and DevGru, from what I hear, HATE CW because they have to wear masks or MOPP gear and that screws up their hearing and visability when trying to clear the place. I wonder if the Russians simply pumped in NO2? That was a big place, they would have needed a large quantity of whatever. The FBI I don't think would try to gas more than a single room anymore after Waco. Hopefully they have learned to read the manufacturers instructions now if they try again, like the warning about "DO NOT USE AROUND OPEN FLAME" |

Gas was about the only option. They wouldn't take food so you couldn't drug them that way. People who are determined to die and have rigged explosives will always win unless knocked out first. After the first breach, all it takes is one to pull the fuse igniter and bring down the house. I don't care who they are or how much they hate masks, I don't see any other options for this op. Gas is particularly subtle for Russians BTW. The biggest disadvantage is that gas is very hard on old people. I am willing to bet more casualties were from gas than gunshot, at least for those over the age of 60 I don't care |

They wouldn't have to wait for the press.
Each of the 90 victims, the dead terrorists, their surviving family members and the survivors would have been contacted by at least a dozen trial lawyers by now offering representation in a Billion $ lawsuit for wrongful damage and excessive use of force. Fortunately for the Russians, they haven't mastered that aspect of capitalism yet. |

My point being, we have done bad things and yet we survive. Please explain in any scenario how we could become "something worse". If we have not already become "something worse" based on our past deeds, why not? As far as lessons to bone up on look at how we fought in the past in any conflict. What could we do in the future that would be more brutal than the past? Also, nice revisionist history, I do think the native American were terrorist, by definition and their actions.

Seems to me that the important aspect of the way it was handled is that the terrorists gained nothing by taking hostages. We should take the same approach if/when this scenario repeats itself in the U.S.A. When the terrorists make no gains by taking hostages, the incentive to do so is taken away. I would hope that every effort to save innocent American lives is made, but we should make sure we exterminate the terrorists like so many rodents whenever and wherever they raise their ugly heads.
