Americas first preemptive Strike!

[BobViper]

ALOHA

America was formed by Preemptive action against a Tyrannical Dictator~King George III~

From:
1765 - In July, the Sons of Liberty, an underground organization opposed to the Stamp Act, is formed in a number of colonial towns. Its members use violence and intimidation to eventually force all of the British stamp agents to resign and also stop many American merchants from ordering British trade goods.

1766 - In August, violence breaks out in New York between British soldiers and armed colonists, including Sons of Liberty members. The violence erupts as a result of the continuing refusal of New York colonists to comply with the Quartering Act. In December, the New York legislature is suspended by the English Crown after once again voting to refuse to comply with the Act.

1770 - Violence erupts in January between members of the Sons of Liberty in New York and 40 British soldiers over the posting of broadsheets by the British. Several men are seriously wounded.

1775 - February 1, in Cambridge, Mass., a provincial congress is held during which John Hancock and Joseph Warren begin defensive preparations for a state of war. February 9, the English Parliament declares Massachusetts to be in a state of rebellion. March 23, in Virginia, Patrick Henry delivers a speech against British rule, stating, "Give me liberty or give me death!" March 30, the New England Restraining Act is endorsed by King George III, requiring New England colonies to trade exclusively with England and also bans fishing in the North Atlantic.
*Note~ Patrick Henry Definitely NOT a Lib..... !!!!!!

To:
At dawn on April 19 about 70 armed Massachusetts militiamen stand face to face on Lexington Green with the British advance guard. An unordered 'shot heard around the world' begins the American Revolution. A volley of British rifle fire followed by a charge with bayonets leaves eight Americans dead and ten wounded. The British regroup and head for the depot in Concord, destroying the colonists' weapons and supplies. At the North Bridge in Concord, a British platoon is attacked by militiamen, with 14 casualties.
*Note~Negotiate with my Musket Balls........

Looks like they're going to be on the receiving end of one too. (N Korea/Possibly Iraq but not likely)

The idea of a preemptive strike is that we take care of the problem BEFORE another 9/11 happens. We're dealing with someone who is buying time and who hides. Saddam does not wish to talk, he wants more TIME. Time to build weapons. Weapons that we know he had are now unaccounted for. He's taking full advantage of this BS UN process that's going on. We don't need anyone's permission to start a war.

Think so? Ever hear the story about the 2 SuperPowers who never went to War with each other because of something called Mutual Assured Destruction!!
Guess what just 1 missle with multi~warheads from one of our nuclear subs parked in complete silence right off their coast could do to Korea(or any other wannabe) in about 3-5 minutes...
