U.S. Army Gen. James David Thurman admitted Friday that he felt extremely jealous of the Syrian militarys ability to relentlessly attack its own citizens. When I saw footage of Syrian forces at a protest gunning down their fellow countrymen with total impunity, I thought, man, what I wouldnt give to roll into Dayton, OH with 10,000 troops and take a few hundred people out, said Thurman, who later called Syrian Gen. Abdul Fatah Qudsiya the luckiest guy in the world. You dont know how many times Ive thought about driving a tank up to a packed movie theater and firing indiscriminately at American men, women, and children without any repercussions. But I cant do that because we have all these stupid rules. As of press time, Thurman had formally requested permission for one little air strike on Houston.
