Are you prepared to accept onto your side tomorrow people who are shooting at you today?
Because that's what Patton brilliantly did with Nazi Germany's ally Italy.
No, the Italians then and the moslems today are totally different. Back in WW2 there were millions of catholics and Italians in the US that loved America and were volunteering to fight for the USA. Can't say the same about the moslems today.
Also the Italians weren't fighting us on religious grounds, the moslems are.
ON the other hand, if the Saudis or the Jordanians or the Paks sent even one single brigade or battalion of uniformed troops to patrol the streets and join us in bullet magnet and IED magnet patrols, I'd be all for it.
But there ain't one single moslem from outside Iraq, in uniform patrolling with our Marines or Soldiers.
"But there ain't one single moslem from outside Iraq, in uniform patrolling with our Marines or Soldiers." That's incorrect. Beside American and UK Muslims in uniform in Iraq as of August 23, 2006, there were 23 non-U.S. military forces contributing armed forces to the Coalition in Iraq. These 22 countries are: Albania , Armenia , Australia, Azerbaijan , Bosnia-Herzegovina , Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Estonia , Georgia , Italy, Kazakhstan , Latvia , Lithuania, Macedonia , Moldova , Mongolia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. However, in the August 16, 2006 Iraq Weekly Status Report (Slide 27) the State Department listed 27 foreign countries as contributing troops to the Coalition in Iraq. The additional four countries were Japan, Portugal, Singapore and the Ukraine.
