Obama Says No To Landmines

[Antares]

"On March 6, 2014, America’s highest-ranking military officer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey, called anti-personnel landmines (APLs) “an important tool in the arsenal of the armed forces of the United States.”

Yesterday, President Obama banned the armed forces from using them.

Yes they do but that does not change the fact they are a valuable battlefield weapon.

Landmines are great for blowing off civilian legs long after a conflict has ended. Children don't stand much chance against them either.

"Why? To comply with a treaty — the Ottawa Convention — that the United States hasn’t even ratified. The U.S. Senate has not given its advice and consent to the treaty, but the Obama administration still feels compelled, in the words of a State Department spokesman, to “underscore its commitment to the spirit and humanitarian aims of the Ottawa Convention.”

Fuck him and fuck you weak assed Liberals.

More reason why civilians rule over the military

The military does not have to deal with the political ramifications of maimed children

 

[rightwinger]

The US should lead the world in setting an example for abandoning landmines

No they have to deal with life and death on the battlefield and if your a smaller force in a defensive position landmines can valuable in helping you stay alive.

Land mines are effective defensive measures in forward deployed bases in a combat zone..................

I guess, the Obama boot lickers will plant Daisies and roses with those prickly little thorns to protect the base from attack..........That will show them.

A thorn could stick the attackers.........YEAH.............

Wrong! - The idiot was Bush for refusing to stop 9/11 attacks, allowing Bin-Laden to escape, attacking the wrong country, wasting $trillions on no-bid contracts, killing 8,000 US citizens & wounding 10 times as many, destabilizing the middle east & inserting a fellow idiot puppet to further screw up the mid-east.

Poison gas is an effective tool also.....we don't use that either

What next?

 

[rightwinger]

Anti-personnel landmines are prohibited under the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on Their Destruction (or Mine Ban Convention), adopted in 1997. More than 150 countries have joined this treaty. Its positive impact includes a marked reduction of casualties, an increased number of mine-free States, destroyed stockpiles and improved assistance to victims.
