Hopefully we will finally drop this asshole, once and for all.

We ought to go house-to-house, village-by-village, until we find and kill all these Bathists and terrorists.

i can't understand why we've never referred to the Bathist Party for what it really is/was: Communists.

Smart move. Terrorists need as much maneuvering capability as possible. The more you hamper their movement, the tougher their job is. At the same time, this is just a tiny part of the nation, well worth being fenced off for a while.

Leaflets Lefties and rumored warnings called for a "Day of Resistance" today at the start of a three-day general strike to protest the U.S. presence. U.S. officials urged Americans in the Iraqi capital to "maintain a high level of vigilance."

Actually, they are an offshoot of what amounted to the Arab nazi party. They are Nationalistic Democratic Socialists; kind of like the DemoncRATS we have here.

Sadaam's uncle that raised him was a Nazi collaborator during WWII and tried unsuccessful coup attempts in Egypt and Iraq when Sadaam was young. The Bathist Party was patterned after the Nazis, but Sadaam studied Stalin for his ability to maintain his rule.

U.S. Soldiers Seal Saddam's Home Village

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1011948/posts

Iraqi workers install concertina wire around the village of Uja, outside Tikrit, 193 km (120 miles) north of Baghdad, Iraq, Thursday, Oct. 30, 2003. American soldiers on Friday sealed off the village where Saddam Hussein was born and ordered adults to register for identity cards that will let them move in and out of the community - a hotbed of anti-American sentiment.

Saddam is probably hiding in a comfy bunker he build somewhere.

Let's be fair with the Tikritians...

In the immortal words of Ronald Reagan: "The bombing begins in five minutes."

How refreshing if the U.S. publicly allowed Israel to deal with terrorists like we deal with terrorists. There does seem to be a similarity between our two techniques....

Operation Make Them Carry ID Cards.

A tag the people of Uja can't travel without or be thrown in jail.

You can expect this for all of the Sunni Triangle.

The commies in charge over at cANSWER seem to like Saddam's methods.

Take a look at what they are promoting...
Isn't there a law against this?

Also, if you go to the ANSWER donations page, you will see that your donation goes to "The People's Rights Fund, Inc." which you will find out is a 501(c)(3) - donations are tax deductible.

They say that they provide "funding for educational progams on peace, civil rights, civil lberties, economic inequality, anti-repression and social justice issues."

And some people wonder why we counter-protest these commie thugs when they come to DC. They want to destroy our country, they endorse the "resistance" in Iraq (read: They endorse the murder of American soldiers), they are puppets of communist dictators around the world. Damn right we need to counter-protest them, whenever and wherever they show their evil faces. [rant: off]

This is excellent news, a brainstorm.

I pray God delivers all our enemies, and the enemies of freedom in Iraq, into our soldiers' eager hands.

When Israel was surrounding Arafat's HQ, Bush pressured Israel to withdraw.
