More of the same…

My uncle was all over the ME when I was a kid. I remember uncle Bobby saying many things about the Arabs. Three stick in my mind:

1) Most Arab men are queers.

2) Someday we will regret ever dealing with them.

3) Arabs don't undertand the concept of telling a lie. To an Arab, the "truth" is whatever the Arab can make you believe is the truth.

#3 is the issue here. Why in the hell did we believe anything they ever said to us in the first place?

Since we can't make them live like normal humans, give those who want liberty 48 hours to leave. Then level the place completely and start over.

The friends and families of the "insurgents" (can you say terrorists?) surround them. Of course they can't be effectively policed. And what about the perps of the Fallujah outrages against the four US contractors, many of whom were on fvideo tape? Apparently no effort was made to seize them. Our marines, who had the upper hand at the cost of a numer of their lives, were thwarted by concerns of members of the Iraqi Ruling council. It is so galling that acts of moderation and restraint such as the cessation of marine operations in Fallujah, are lost in the Anti-American din.

The suicide car bombing that killed Iraqis and coalition forces alike about 36 hours ago was greeted by the torching of damaged vehicles by Iraqis and shouts of Allahu Akbar and down with America.

Made a deal with an Arab at your own peril...
Expect an Islamist to be a dangerous coward, and forget about "saving their soul"....

Console youself by killing them in numbers sufficient to drive them back under their stones for another few centuries..

History has shown us, THAT is their fate...

Semper Fi

[ETERNAL WARMING]

Well, DUH. Anyone with a brain isn't surprised at the failure, yet our officials keep pretending they're dealing with rational, honorable people.

[American in Israel]

Well it would have been a chance for a history making event, a treaty with Islamics that worked! In 1400 years that has never happened.

To dream, the impossible dream...

[etcetera]

OK, so let's not tip our mitt this time, blabbing our strategy on the front page and on satellite TV. The first indication of American displeasure the Fallujians notice should be the sound of parachutes opening over their city. Parachutes bearing fuel air explosives...

[A CA Guy]

What do we do?

Go after them and let no Mosque shield them.

We need to go to the borders and dump some of the cheaper bunker busters throughout the hills and mountains to collapse the legendary tunnels, caves and pathways between countries.

That gives us a better ability to watch more things above the ground by driving the ones that survive from below the ground and from caves.

That is my 2 cents.

[stripes1776]

The Marines withdrew to the outskirts of Fallujah after Sunni members of the now-disbanded Iraqi Governing Council objected to the bloodshed.

Exactly what bloodshed did Mohammed object to when he committed mass murder against his opposition in Medina and from Mecca when the people of those cities resisted his proclamation of prophethood?

[McGavin999]

Fallujah is like Chicago in the 1930's. There is no way the feds would have bombed Chicago just to get Capone, and we aren't going to flatten Fallujah just to get the mob, the terrorists, and the Saddamites. But we will get them, the key is going to find the Iraqi Elliot Ness.
