Quote of the day: Bomb Mexico

From TPM:

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) said Tuesday morning that it was a “mistake” that the administration didn’t go through with bombing drug labs in Mexico after then-President Donald Trump suggested it in 2020.

Okey dokey. It sure is good that the adults are back in charge in the House.

      Ya think maybe if we had affordable healthcare here it might help?

      We have a system of revenue generation not care. It’s goal is improved income not outcomes.

    With all due respect, this is actually the “quote of the day”:

      I’m currently generating over $35,100 a month thanks to one small internet job, therefore I really like your work! I am aware that with a beginning cdx05 capital of $28,800, you are cdx02 presently making a sizeable quantity of money online.

    Putting aside the no small detail that bombing anything in Mexico would trigger a war, how do these idiots think would boming work?

    Drug labs are almost always setup in largely populated metropolitan areas, and smacked right in the middle of a block with houses, schools, businesses, or any other type of civilian structure.

    Dropping a bomb on a Taliban leader in a remote compound (and even those often had high civilian deaths) is very different from doing so in a high density block of civilian buildings.

      The largest fentanyl lab seized earlier this year was located in Pueblos Unidos, outside of any major metropolitan area.

        It was the largest meth production lab, not fentanyl. Also, Pueblos Unidos is a suburb of Culiacan, but more importantly, it is a small community of tightly packed blocks including about 600 houses, and a school, all concentrated around a main road. You wouldn't be able to lob a missile in there without massive civilian casualties, not mention that there is no guarantee you are hitting what you want in the first place. The army was so unsure about what they would find out that they got a search warrant to go in, and went in quietly instead of going in guns blazing.

      Also, it's a war crime.

      Also, you'd think that at the moment when Russia is bombing Ukrainian civilians and destroying apartment buildings, schools, and hospitals, the Republican party would have the good sense to not give Vladi rhetorical support and comfort by bemoaning the fact that the US isn't doing the same thing in Mexico.

    The older I get, the more it looks like the morons in my high school "Student Council" club are running the government. Certainly, enough of this group is screaming at us through the news services.

    You know, you'd think that in the intervening years, they'd have learned something about the way that a constructive society works, but no. They are impervious to adulthood, or to taking any responsibility for their actions.

    Mr Joshua Marshall (who started TPM) and Mr Drum actually, way back at the start of the Iraq war, supported bombing it, to bring the dominoes of democracy to the Middle East. (Forgive me if that’s not the most fair assessment of their views at that time though).

    I think about 80-90% of our liberal press supported bombing Iraq, starting a war. A war crime with probably 1 million victims. (I know, it’s complicated, Saddam’s sons might be in charge now if we hadn’t, so that’s the relevant comparison).

    To me, Trumps “idea” of bombing drug cartels in Mexico isn’t 1/50 as bad as starting the Iraq war.

    I think not-bombing people should be a very strong default position. Only extraordinary circumstances should change that.

      "To me, Trumps “idea” of bombing drug cartels in Mexico isn’t 1/50 as bad as starting the Iraq war"

      So you think that starting a war in Iraq is 50 times worse than starting a war with a neighboring nation, one with 3 times the population, 4 times the land size, a nation with over 30 million people already in the US, and one that also happens to be the No 2 trade partner of the US?

      Because that is what would have happen the second the 1st bomb dropped.

      Starting a war in Iraq was a terrible idea, but doing so with Mexico would be exponentially worse.
