I plan on spending my day off Friday attempting to call the highest military authority I can reach and relate to them the obvious fact that this city is no longer a rebel strong hold.

And this American wants to see more decisive action like this not less. Iraq does not stand a chance of any success if these strong holds and the people in them are allowed to survive. All Iraq faces is a big Civil War if these people in these strong holds are not dealt with using the most extreme measures necessary. This is War, it can't be played by Queens bury Rules, and these people are not signatures to the Geneva Convention. They are terrorists and be-headers, murderers of the innocent.

President Bush himself said that if you give aid and comfort to terrorist, you are a terrorist. That is true, and if that includes men, women, and their children and they are giving aid and comfort to terrorists they deserve what they got.

War is not suppose to be pretty, military should not be expected to be ambassadors to those trying to kill them.
These people made their own choices, and choices have consequences, or they should have consequences.

If this war were going on in the USofA, how much kindness, and mercy would the enemy being showing? They would be trussing you and your family up in electric tape and cutting your heads off. We sent our boys over there to kill the enemy, enlistment is down because of the very fact of how the enlisted man is suppose to fight with one hand tied behind his back due to "rules of engagement", watch his friends die, while being an ambassador of good will.

Leave only the grateful standing in Iraq and kill the rest. Save the fledgling government from having to deal in an all out Civil War with enemies we should be dealing with before we leave, no matter who they are.
