This is a poorly conceived military strategy of Bush’s KGC warfighting. Kinder Gentler Compassionate doesn’t work in war. Again Bush is making our troops go house to house when the entire city could be leveled with NO casualties on our side. Unbelievable. Worse than Nam.
At least in Nam we bombed the enemy sanctuaries.
We did plenty of house to house fighting in WWII in many places.
You're exactly right. If we can't fight this thing like a real war, then we should get the hell out, and let them destroy each other. The world needs to be depopulated by about a billion muzzies, and if they're willing to do most of the dirty work themselves, then let them do it.
If it's good enough for Hamas and Fatah, then it's good enough for Shiite and Sunni.
Area bombardment against light infantry in an urban setting doesn't work-- you still need grunts to go in and kill the survivors up front or to direct guided munitions within effective range.
You just wind up killing a bunch of civilians, which generates more recruits to replace those whom you kill.
What is a joke are our intel ops where we capture one of these scum and give them a JAG lawyer instead of introducing their testicles to Mr. Field Telephone and then putting them against the wall when we've extracted all info we can from them.
I think we now engage in the more productive hyprocrisy of turning captives over to the IA, who essentially do the dirty work for us.
