Attack May Signal the Future Use of Guerilla Tactics

"Question: how do you tell an "innocent" Iraqi civilian, from and "non-innocent" Iraqi civilian?"

Answer: On 9/11/2001 the terms of the war were given: women and children are not safe from deliberate attack; there are no innocents, no civilians, no non-combatants. None. Not one.

Every citizen of a terror-supporting state must be considered a combatant and dealt with as such.

You are welcome.

>What are we bombing? The same places over and over?

If we are bombing the same place over and over it is because they are digging out a bunker. The bunker busters can be dropped within one meter so that they can dig out a bunker over a period of time.

IF this is true, and I am SURE it is, we MUST change tactics. I see many many more of our troops dying like this IF we don't. To hell with the media, to hell with world opinion.

Islam must be destroyed as a religio-political philosophy

The destruction of a philosophy is done with something other than force.

Well, Spirit Warrior, it looks like we got a real problem on our hands now. I hope you are right that these guys are mostly homicidal, not suicidal and they will soon run out of warriors of their own.

NYT idiots. Not Guerilla but rather terrorist tactics. One would think the NYT was smart enough to figure out the difference between the two.

The NYT makes this distinction because to do otherwise would be to admit that the Palestinians, who use the same tactic, are terrorists.  The policy of the NYT is that Israel should surrender herself up to Arafat and commit national suicide.  Ergo, Palis are victims, not terrorists.
