Iraq is Stepping up !!!!

[Enduring Freedom]

capture him in the 120 mm gunsights of an abrams tank

then pull the trigger

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

The reason you can't do that is so you can extract information from him and find other baddies to aim that 120mm cannon at.

Couter-insurgency is all about getting someone to drop a dime or someone or getting someone to rat someone else out. It is how you get your lead on the next terrorist. You don't want ot kill your informants before you extract everything they know.

There is plenty of time to kill him later.

It is nice to see the Iraquis doing some of the heavy lifting.

[Lancer_N3502A]

Just pull the trigger.

[Enduring Freedom]

modified checklist follows:

capture him in the gunsights of the 120 mm

extract all useful info

pull trigger

Our great Iraqi allies hunt down terrorists. They help destroy Al Qaida. They defend freedom in their country, which advances freedom for the whole world. America is fortunate to have friends like the Iraqi patriots.

Meanwhile back at home Dems are undermining THEIR efforts.... ooops did I say that out loud...

General Casey said of the Iraqi troops "They work better when they are with us."
This is just another example of the necessity of Bushes troop surge. If we send in more troops to help them secure Iraq that will free up others to increase training.

if the Iraqi PM has ANY BRAIN CELLS they would put him on tv RIGHT NOW and shoot him in the skull in front of everyone.

Democrats in the House responded today

"quick lets snatch defeat from the jaws of Victory".

Of course England boasts the town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch so that may not be a huge improvement.

I ONLY HAVE ONE DUMB QUESTION: WHAT TOOK SO LONG TO SWEEP BAGHDAD?

[davidosborne]

The best analogy I can think of is when you are teaching your kid to ride a bike... sometimes you have to let go and let them fall a couple of times, and then you grab on to build their confidence.. and soon the are riding on their own and don't realize it... I think the Iraqi People are "getting it"... it is a slow process......

[tomnbeverly]

The difference is the Iraqis showed up... The political pressure that Bush has put on them has brought them out of their shell so to speak. Should see a broadened Iraqi Army/police movement soon and then Bush can call it Victory and start bringing our troops home..

Added benefit the Dems voted on the record and on the wrong side of history once again... So long 08 chances....

[Principled]

if the Iraqi PM has ANY BRAIN CELLS they would [get any/all info from him] put him on tv RIGHT NOW and shoot him in the skull in front of everyone.

.... and bury him in pig fat.
