I do wonder what we're gonna do when we enter Baghdad. Obviously we'll be succesful, but we want complete control of the city to search the tunnels and complexes throughout the city, and...how' we gonna do that if we've got Fedayeen conducting guerilla warfare against us at every rooftop and from every manhole cover?

I used t'think that they'd just revolt, but I'm beginning to think not.

One of the things the wonderfule EU/UN weenies keep forgetting is that, once we "win" this war, we will still have many months of mopping up. The loyalists are not going to stop fighting and terrorist groups will most certainly be active.

It will not be possible to reinstate UN programs until the country is "safe". That won't happen until the axis of weasel stops blocking attempts to prosecute this war to the end, arrest, try and convict the members of the present regime for crimes against thier people, and allow aid to resume to arrears already liberated.

The house to house searches will be necessary and we WILL lose some fine men and women while doing it! There is however, no alternative.
