I am thinking the best response would be to withdraw our troops from the city, and establishing a perimeter around it. Our troops should allow nothing to enter the perimeter, and nothing to exit. The perimeter should be large enough where anything that attempts to breach it be destroyed without prejudice or question. Simply explain to these barbarians that if they come within 1/2 mile of the perimeter, they will die.

Then let them stew in their own juices until such time as they find out that they need to change their views. We will help them if they help themselves, otherwise they can rot in the desert.

Not bad so far, but how about a couple of Arclights per day to help them in their decison making process?

What a ridiculous idea!

We haven't even been able to establish a secure perimeter around our own bases or Baghdad airport, how pray tell are we to form one around an hostile city of half a million people?
