GARRY OWEN, Sir, thanks for viewing.

Looks like quite a few did not read past the title
Thank you. I'm new here. And it's all very interesting. I appreciate your welcome.
Bump!
well said.
I wouldn’t second-guess the military and I’m not a military strategist. But I wouldn’t discount a strategy that separated the terrorists into smaller, more manageable groups by allowing some to escape so I could kill them more easily later. There are also huge political reasons to take that particular city very quickly. The fewer combatants to kill right now, the better.
I don't agree. Throughout history an army has not been defeated by killing the general, it's done by destroying the army. In fact, history is filled with cases where the general was allowed to go home after his army was defeated.
With Zarqawi alive his army has a banner to gather around. Kinda like ducks in a pond.
Besides, think of the civilian casualties that would have occurred without the chance of them being allowed to leave.
I agree.
Although I do think Zarqawi needs to be killed... just not today.
I'm sorry... what is "Bump!"?

Hey, man, we're both here on Freerepublic just for the CLARITY of it in God's Plan, right..?

Welcome and keep up the good work.
And ummm...one bit of advice. You should provide a link and a source to whatever article you are posting.
This ain't no party...this ain't no disco...this ain't stinking weblog.
I'd love to pull the trigger.
Welcome to Free Republic. I admire your audaciousness.
Welcome to FR.

I am having some difficulty determining the difference between a compliment and an insult is many cases. But thanks… I think.
I can understand why the Liberals would see no connection between our freedom in our safe homes and our soldiers serving in Iraq. They would have seen no connection between Japan attacking us and our making Germany our first military priority in WWII.
We can no longer wait for the fight to come to us. So the Libs think there is no linkage between what happens in Iraq and international terrorism? How would they explain the presence of Abu Abbas and Abu Nidal in Iraq?
Do they suppose Iraq is to terrorists as Florida is to Senior Citizens? Perhaps they like to go there because the weather is easier to bear?
Oh wait...being in a warm climate, it is closer to places where there are cruise ships which contain elderly jewish tourists in wheelchairs who are more easily shot and dumped in the water. That's it! Oh darn, that only explains why Abu Abbas was there.
Abu Nidal probably liked it because it was only a short hop for his people to attack airports or hijack planes from some European airports.
You know what they really needed in Iraq? One of those posters, displayed prominently in the Baghdad airport that says "IF YOU LIVED HERE YOU WOULD BE HOME BY NOW!"
If you can't tell, the attitude that a lot of people have just irritates me to no end.
I just hope I don't go up in a puff of smoke because we didn't act due to our actions not passing a "global test".
right back at ya sir.
enjoy your holidays and thanks again.
rockin' ronnie.
