Just say "1945".

It's time for a "1945" solution.

Like the use of atomic weopons, the total destruction of towns and cities that oppose us, and the brining to the knees of the cultures that are so intent on being a cult of death. Our current leaders are obviously incapable of doing this.

Pat Tillman's life DEMANDS it.

I am tired of half measures.

It indicates to me that Kerry was running in the opposite direction, away from the action.

Maybe he was just confused as to who the enemy was

Looks like they need a little scraping and painting on this structure..... I think it just reopened last year.....

Time to institute operation flaming turban.

I am one of those who if polled would express dissatisfaction with how GW is handling Iraq. Not upset we went just upset that we now appear to just sit around and get shot at.

I'm real easy to please. I want to hear wall to wall stories of how we kicked the other guys a$$.

You're absolutely right.......I'm also sick and tired of seeing this whole affair turning into a shooting gallery for the rebels against our troops. Either "unleash hell" now or get someone in there who will.

That is true. One of our real war heroes no doubt shot him in the rear.

"The warship sent a team to the boat, but when they boarded it, the vessel exploded. "

Yes, but it doesn't sound well.

Like the use of atomic weopons,...

We don't have to even consider the use of such weapons any any way shape or form.

All we need to do is turn it over to the military completely, accept some collateral damage initially, show that we mean business, and I guarantee the "collateral damage" possibilities will be so far away from the fighting that it won't be a concern anymore and anything left that moves will be a terrorist foe, then bring in the MOAB.

This would bring an instant terrorist fatality rate of a double digit percentage and bring the possibility of closure to this scenario to triple digit. When, oh when, will the powers that be, finally understand how these terrorist think?

I believe this area is patroled by the British.

yes.

start modestly: MOAB Fallujah and put 100 hellfire missiles into the mosque AlSadr is hiding in.

escalate from there until the idiots learn the #1 most important rule of the 21st century: Play ball or get the bat rammed up your a$$
