"If in 2 weeks, Blackwater Security personel can pass safely through Falujah...I call that a victory."

Thank god our early Presidents didn't feel that way about paying tribute to the Islamic barbary pirates -- for "safe passage"...

Get real..
The ONLY path to victory, lies over the graves of every Jihadists that wishes to impose his will on a non Jihadist.

Peace through the death or total defeat of the enemy....is a more reliable peace...

Semper Fi

Uh, Washington, Adams and Jeferson all paid tribute to the Barbary Pirates for safe passage for our ships.

When Jefferson came to office it was over 1/5th of the entire federal budget.

The pirates messed up a good thing by not keeping their part of the deal. But that's what pirates always do.

Your analogy is not even relevant. Last time I looked at a map, Iraq was not on the open seas.
