I have to say that this does not make us look like we know what we're doing.

[potlatch]

a former member of Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard,

Are we surprised?? Wonder what they expected?

[goodnesswins]

Well....they sure took care of that FAST.....

SOrry about the screwed up link in the story. Click here instead.

As PFC Gomer Pyle would say, "Surprise, surprise!"

[mercy]

This is sickening. What a clusterf__k. George Bush is an amateur.

[squidly]

I can only shake my head with disgust at this turd circus.

[Captainpaintball]

I am SHOCKED! I'll also throw in "deeeeeeeeeeply concerrrrrrrrrned."

This must do wonders for troop morale. Not.

To heck with this, It's time for Captain Paintball's "THREE Ls:"

LEAFLETS for the citizens. Women and children have 24 hours to "ex-cape". (a little ebonics lingo, there.) ALL men leaving the city will be set aside in a nearby camp and interrogated. Humanely, of course.

LEVEL the city. With the force of 1000 daisycutters, Fallujah will be incinerated in a show of force not seen since Hiroshima.

'LIM-IN-ATE the survivors. Those not smart enough to leave, and all the "brave" insurgents left alive will be put out of their misery.

This will work if we do it hard, fast, and without apology.

Sounds like a psychological means to an end.

He became the example of what to NOT do in short order for one reason or another.

Trust me...if you dig far enough into the mind of a terrorist, you would realize that there is a much bigger mark...the Marines already seized the opportunity to MAKE A POINT.

Think extremely hard here.

Saving PFC Lynch help.

Otay, then.

More examples, anyone.

[the_Watchman]

Perhaps there is another Wesley Clarke type in the military?

[edsheppa]

It may be time for some micromanagement.

[GeronL]

Two steps backward and two steps forward, one step sideways and ... what were we doing again??

UGH. What are they thinking???

[Kate of Spice Island]

How about this for a strategy...our troops have to interact with them. The overwhelming majority are not much different than you or me. The primary difference is in how they treat their women. I know most of you have read about it. There is even an insurgent who I read about on a local website...I will look and see if the article is still there...

Anyhow, he said that he was treated like a woman. There is one name we can give our newborn girls and hope that the troops hear of this and get it circulater quickly. Sharayah is the name I almost gave my daughter. We pick our childrens names for a reason, what better than to honor our own little girls so much as to make men rethink about theirs.

[hershey]

Maybe it's time to do what needs to be done in Iraq.

At the end of WWII...Nazis were put in charge of the circus....some of them made names for themselves.....we called them "WEREWOLVES" and when we caught them running subversion operations....
THEY WERE HUNG ON THE SPOT FROM LAMPOSTS....but now that would probably be called a
friggen "war crime".....
