"I agree in that I think a nuclear or other extremely violent American response will not be helpful. However, there are other methods. At least a significant portion of the Sunni triangle wants us out. We should leave that area, but not the country. However, that does not mean we let the babarians take over...we just don't pay the price in blood ourselves. I suggest that we bring in Iraqi forces to institute control in the triangle. By Iraqi, I mean Kurds, preferably the remains of the Barzani clan. Or at least Shia forces interested in forcing the Sunnis to toe the line. Vary how tight or loose a leash we keep on their vengeance based on the actions of the Sunnis. Don't give them the chance to fight us...make them fight their countrymen. "
Hmmmm, start a civil war, what a great plan.

Our friends, the Saudis, are Sunnis.
That's why we'll not do anything militarily spectacular in response to this outrage in the crazed Sunni Triangle.
If we do, I'll be amazed.
Word up- if the White House spokesman doesn't say something like, "They were civilian contractors who understood the risks in rebuilding a new and free Iraq..." within 48 hrs, then I'll eat my shoes.
