1) Give them the warning and the directions for how non-comms can leave.
2) Give those that remain a short time frame to surrender unconditionally.
3) Once the time passes...pulverize the entire city with B-52's, don't leave one stone standing on another.
4) Then send in the marines to mop up, and clean up.
5) After we bomb it to rubble, use 100 D-9 cats to level it off and then sprinkle salt and pig-blood over the whole place. Not too many other places will be so anxious for Jihad after that.
Avoid the specter of large scale urban fighting where many Americans and their Iraqi allies will die. Let the Jiahdist know that we will not play their game...that we intend simply to kill them dead.
In the process, we do not allow the enemy to escaper. The directions will include check points as the only avenue of escape. Anyone avoiding the checkpoints, or anyone not approaching them as instructed is killed on site.
At the checkpoint we send all males between 16 and 70 to detention where they are thotroughly interrogated, and if found to be so much as inlcined towards the terrorists/jihadists...they end up in labor camps for the next 5-10 years, helping rebuild Iraq under armed guard.
Only very young boys, old men and women are allowed to pass through...and they are checked thoroughly as well. Any weapons, contraband, etc...sends them to detention too.
Two or three Faullujah examples like this would break the back of the terrorist/jihadist and let the Iraqi citizens who abet and harbor the enemy know that we are deadly serious about helping the rest of Iraq obtain their freedom.
It's time we talk their language and ensure that they know (and believe) that the price for their fighting us is not just military defeat, by their own beliefs it will be HELL...and not Heaven with 72 virgins. Black Jack Pershing did something like this (I believe he dipped his bullets in pig fat) and all the Jihad against him stopped.
Ah Jeff Jeff Jeff Jeff Jeff. This is just NOT how we fight a war these days. You are SO out of touch. What would Kofi and Jock think of us if we behaved in this manner? And of course there is also the wholly unacceptable fact that this tactic would quickly turn Iraq into a peaceful Republic and insure President Bush's Republican successor instant and massive success at the polls in '08. Tch tch tch. CANNOT have that. You incourageable dinosaur!
If memory serves he also ordered that all enemy killed were to smeared with lard. They decided to leave Pershing alone upon seeing that.
