American Government/military have done little thus far to defeat the insurgents.If they want to defeat the insurgents and save money and time in Iraq its simple.Employ the people of Iraq.One cruise missile=one million dollars that could put 5000 Iraqi's to work for one month instead of killing one desperate Iraqi trying to kill Americans for money.How many cruise missiles were used so far?It would cost 200 million dollars a month to employ one million people and that would fuel the economy to lower employment rate similar to the U.S.A.Instead of the rate today of 30-70% depending on the region.It cost the American taxpayer six billion a month for this occupation it would cost that a year to end the insurgency and occupation.

Would you want to be the press operator who just found out you lost your $20/hr job to an Iraqi? I used to be a press operator making burner cans for missiles and I can tell you it wouldn't do a lot for my support of the war.

Sorry, I don't want our defense weapons built where there would be a high risk of sabotage or deliberate poor workmanship on a vital part by a mole with an agenda.
