Why do some poeple hate conservatism?
Because people are ignorant. You can't honestly hate something you don't understand though

HA... keep living up to your title... its men like Pendry whose professionalism and ferocity who prevented a major hot war for our enemy fears facing men of his caliber and those he leads on the battlefield.In my own opinion, promoting people like J.D. Pendry to the Rank of E-9 is part and parcel with why the United States Military hasn't won a Major War since 1945.

not to mention a few billion dollars of tax payers money
Obviously Pendry is a frustrated man, and probably with very good reason. There are few things that focus your views like watching the bits and pieces of your compatriots and friends getting needlessly sent home in caskets.
All of this argument and bloodshed could have been avoided by doing the same with Saddam as was done to several other people. Give him a Hellfire enema.
The "world" would have bitched and moaned about assassination, and in a week it would have been forgotten. The backlash would not have been as great as it is at present and we would have saved 3000+ American servicemen and women's lives, not to mention a few billion dollars of tax payers money...... Unless of course there was some possible ulterior motive?
Forget the politics and propaganda and just think about what this war is doing to your country and its people.
You dont think terrorism would have run even more rampant than it is now? Go in and assassinate their leader. It brings them all to a common cause, consolidates their hold on the people if you will. No, that would not have been a good idea.
We may not have "assassinated" Saddam, but we may as well have done. He and his sons are now dead, most of his high echelon supporters are in custody awaiting a fair trial and a hanging, and the Muslim opposition are blaming us anyway. It all could have been done without the great cost and loss of life that this war is causing. Anyway, they already had a common cause, they hate infidels, especially the USA, it would have changed nothing.
The USA has already "assasssinated" high profile terrorists using a drone and a Hellfire missile, the whole issue was forgotten in a matter of days and did not stir up any additional ill will.
