Once the Iraqi civilians know we are there in force and there to stay, they will finger these rats. And we will get them. Hopefully most will try to shoot it out with our guys -- which will mean they will be eliminated. Others will give up and will be hauled off to be tried as war criminals.

Yes, and they're not the only ones I hope try to shoot it out. I keep hearing more and more about Hamas and other terrorist organizations sending their scum into Baghdad to help Saddam.

I don't want our guys to have to confront any more than they have to, BUT could this not be a positive thing? After all, on of the problems with fighting these terrorist organizations is finding them. If they throw in with Saddam, at least we have an opportunity to take them out.
