It would be easy if all we had to do was go in and blow everything up, clean up the mess and then go home, but the same suspects would be left in this particular case.
Fighting someone who hires 12 years olds(literally pays their families money) to blow themselves and a few locals up is not what US troops have been trained for but it's the name of the game for now.
If anyone can change the tide we can.

On the Wall Street Journal show last night, there was a segment about how the Hezbollah are being accused of war crimes, by hiding with civilians..and making them sheilds in the Lebanon war...
But, I was really disappointed with one of the regular panelists, Phsstpok may know the name...
who decided that the best idea re: Iraq, would be to redeploy the troops to KUWAIT, so that we would be close in times of need. (he must be channeling Murtha or Kerry)...
When Paul Gigot mentioned that that plan would really put our embedded military in a dangerous position, because they could be used as hostages if there is not US military around to be back up, the guy said, well, Kuwait isn't that far...
OY>>>>>>>.
Phsstpok, I hope you can supply me the name of who made that suggestion..it is driving me nuts.
