Re #1
So many of recent attacks may have less to do with loyalty than bounty money. From now on, seizing money should be given as high a priority as neutralizing attackers.

Anybody who gives money for murder, is as guilty as the perp, IMHO.

Take that money and offer it for any tattooed fedayeen that the local Al Mar Fuds can bring in dead or alive (discouraging the "alive" part).
No license or tags, no bag limit, no three round plugs, steel shot not necessary, and orange vests are discouraged.

Nay, not so, the one who hires the killer is the worse of the two.

Wow.
Those Iraqi farmers must get even larger subsidies than the American ones do.
To: kattracks
If I had raided that place and saw that money I would have said the following:
Officer: Put that money back soldier. It's not yours. It belongs to the Iraqi people.
Me: See this wad of cash? This was the bounty on my head. I am taking it from them because I deserve the bounty on my own head. I am taking it back. I am taking it all back!
