Yeah, I didn't get the sense that these Marines were wetting themselves at the sight of (gasp!) a black flag. They're too busy calling in coordinates.

Exactly. As soon as I read about the black flags, I thought, "oh, how nice of the goblins to signal their location." Unlike a radio signal, a flag says, "look, I'm over here!"

These tunnels may be problematic. It'd be nice if we could flood the rats out.

There's apparently a lot of fuel in Iraq... Dump in a few thousand gallons and toss a match.

Great idea. Reminds me of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Oops! Did I just say "Crusade"? Sorry.

I think they are, I read on a thread in the past few days they were pouring fuel/oil/something flammable into the tunnels and lighting them, and saying the terrorists can either come out or burn to death, their choice.
