We should listen to the guy and act on his advice. He knows what he’s talking about.

“There’s no way to cure them, they have to be killed.”

Finally, a Shiekh I can agree with.

IMO, let the tribal leaders deal with “their” enemies in a manner that the fanatics understand. I’m told that during the Vietnam War, the Koreans (ROKs) were feared by the Viet Cong because they knew how they would be dealt with. Let the fanatical Islamic slime be dealt with accordingly.

Send in Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid; they have all the Liberal answers.

A lot of soldier’s lives would have been saved if we had this kind of common sense.

No Media
No Prisoners

Then if that happened, would history judge us as no different to Sadaam? Are soldier’s lives a required price to pay for our morality? I don’t have the answers.

“I like this guy already.”

So this would be a good liberal. Apparently, liberal is Iraqi for conservative.

“The key to saving Iraq from the scourge of Al-Qaeda is to subject captured fighters to the swift and deadly rule of tribal justice, according to the leader of a powerful new armed movement.”

Works for me.

"There's no way to cure them, they have to be killed."

Apparently Sheikh Hamid al-Hais hasn't read our 387 page Rule Of Engagement Manual, Third Edition, by Emily Post and Miss Manners.

Or had a run in with the 698,586,32110 JAG Lawyers who follow the Combat Arms Units around like flies on poop and who will indict our servicemen for murder faster than you can say Allah Akbar!

Not to mention if we killed the maggots that would seriously upset John McInsane and his butt buddy Lindsey Graham and they'd be compelled to pass some more Terrorist Protection Laws.

"Kill Them", ha! If it was only that easy.

(Sheesh, he must think we're at war or something?!?!?) /s

"There's no way to cure them, they have to be killed."

Some of the wisest words ever uttered about jihadist scum. Why don't we just turn all the terrorists over to this guy?

Iraq would be a very different place from day one if we followed his advice or at least was willing to work with hardnosed secular Sunnis who know how to get the job done.

President Bush said up front that it would be an Iraqi democracy, not an American democracy.

He's very liberal?

I have an idea that his version of liberal would place him somewhat to the right of most of us...

Because, they are ‘afraid’ of what the NY Times will say.

I am not kidding.

I believe that if you killed the terrorist, his wife kids dog, mother father brother and especially his religious leader it then would stop all this b.s.
very quickly.

It’s not the military being soft on the terrorist shekie, it the administration that makes up the rules of engagement. That’s why first we shoot warning shots from paint ball guns.
