"Our marines are doing a fine job in picking the rebels off one by one with sniper fire. If the going gets tough I am sure there is a strategic plan to go into town and clear out the insurgents with the big guns on the ground and gunships in the air."

The Iraqi's and other thugs aren't having to much success in these small scale operations...maybe they'll reach a point and just do a full scale (Kamakazi) attack, huh?

If they do a kamakazi attack they die and we will probably lose some good soldiers. I personally wish we would announce to the law abiding populace to move out and then go in full force and clear out the insurgents, capture their weapons and kill anyone who offers resistance. Terrorism will never be totally dissolved but our improving our intelligence and knocking off those that are a threat to freedom sends a clear message (Be Prepared To Die). I don't like ware but after 9/11 terrorists declared war on this country and we are and will continue stalking every last one of them. Fighting on their soil is (IMHO) the way to go. May God bless every soldier who is serving our country and those who gave their lives to preserve our freedom.
