Another 8 man patrol in the same area where a small outpost was easily overwhelmed by al queda one year ago and 2 butchered I am not impressed with the US Army over this.

It's a war, if you fight, some of yours will be injured, die, or be captured. The only way to prevent causalities and having your troops captured is to "cut and run".

Or there is one other way. Kill the enemy and win the war, but that can take some time in a urban guerrilla scenario.

Nuke Al Quaeda.

Where?

Wherever they are. Start with the Pakistani-Afghan border region. There may not be a sufficient concentration anywhere in Iraq to provide an appropriate target for a nuke, but we have other weapons for the job.

If, as was posted above, LTC Morchauser is the commander then this unit is 2-15FA and part of 2BCT of the 10th Mtn. He assumed command @ six months ago.

Who do we deliver the demand to?

SeeBS, PMSNBC, Clinton News Network, Al Jazzeria and others. Post it on their own websites. They'll get the message. They'll ignore it, but they'll get it.

Find out what town the al Qaeda animals are holing up in and Moab it

Since we never put the MOAB into production, that's going to prove a mite difficult.

Wouldn’t take long before there wouldn’t be a spider hole in the desert for al Qaeda to hide in.

Many of the Iraq tribes out in that dessert have already turned against the foreign Al Qaeda forces.

Interesting point but who do we demand unconditional surrender from? What government body or individual?

Deliver the demand to all major Islamic leaders....Sunni, Shia, Our Lady of Beheadment...whatever, and say that either it stops or Mecca, Medina, et al....are toast. Same with nuclear detonation on US soil.....it happens, the city/shrines are gone. No questions asked.

I am sitting here eating my breakfast,late night on the computer, and reading this makes me sick and hurts my heart. When will we begin to take this war serious? Those in service to our country are fighting with their hands tied and Iran is right in the mix of it. I am sick to death of it all. Let them fight or let them come home. We have a friend of the family over there who is in the Army,second tour,and this time he is having a hard time adjusting,for many different reasons.These people worship death and the democrats do not want us to help them with that desire.The demonrats must be defeated!

It's worse than you think.

There's a neighborhood off of South Ft. Hood street in Killeen, Texas. The street leading into the neighborhood is Omar Dr., the other streets in the neighborhood are: Medina, Abdullah, Osman, Hamza, Mustafa, Ali, Anees, and Abu Baker. (Abu Baker was was a Muslim ruler of the Tughlaq Dynasty (1389) of the Delhi Sultanate, although it could be an alternate spelling of Abu Bakr, the first Caliph.)

When Al Qaeda starts killing over here, I hope to God retribution is visited on the Democrats, and not at the polls.

Their mosque is right there on the corner of Omar Dr. and Hwy 195. Looks like they have their own little enclave starting up.
