I certainly hope they find and exterminate Saddam & his sons ASAP.

Do you honestly think that's going to stop this? I am really sorry to say this, but the administration is great at war, but lousy on follow through and on project management. The "I" word I fear is not impeachment, but incompetence (especially when it's our troops that bear the burden through their blood).

I agree. Finding Sadaam is not going to help much with these attacks. These people are doing this out of Anti-American hatred not just loyalty to Sadaam.

Fear not, you're opinion is indicative of nothing.

The thing is (and let me say, I sympathize with the way you feel somewhat) these attacks have been organized to produce exactly the reaction some on this board are having. They are meant to undermine our steadfastness and to put cracks in our resolve. That's exactly what they do it for. Killing one soldier here or there or even one a day is no victory in and of itself. The bigger target they're aiming at is you, me and the rest of the American public.

The military believes these fighters are loyalists to Saddam. Others believe they are part of the influx of "outside" men. It's probably both but yes, killing Saddam and his sons will definitely be a start to destroying this group. The tactics the military use to root this problem out will be hugely important as well. We've got to nip this in the bud without taking it out on innocent civilians. These bastards don't care about the people there. They're the same ones that would make a pregnant woman charge a checkpoint for the PR value her corpse will have and the same ones that hide behind civilians while firing.

It's just my opinion but these groups must be made to understand that these attacks will never ever result in us turning tail and running like we did in Somalia. Never. There can be no hope of that happening in their little goat minds at all and the best place to make sure that impression starts is right here at home.

So, I guess you think the reconstruction of Germany and Japan was a failure too. Obviously you must since both countries looked far worse at this stage then Iraq and at that time the troops weren't constrained by the PC crap they have to put up with today.

Only an idiot thought this would be easy.

Remember 9/11/01. 3,000 killed in just a few hours. I suggest we fight the Jihadist over there rather than here. The price of freedom is never cheap.

[Atchafalaya]

Yep! And your plan was?
