Well said! For ex., I've never understood why we allowed Iraqi households, esp. in Anbar province to keep a weapon, usually an AK, and ammo. How many have been used to attack us?
Disarm and withdraw all `friendly' Iraqis, then find a `Curtis LeMay' somewhere in the Air Force, followed by a George Patton. Then sow salt.
One of the "very worst mistakes" (resulting from running a `hearts & minds' compassionate war) from that Cl. quotation: political failure.
Ergo, it'll never happen.
Keep your BoB handy. Things could get "exciting" in a neighborhood near you once the jihadi's are done training up in Hugo's little training camps in Venezuela.
