These s.o.b. kids look just like the palestinian animals. We have their pictures, hunt them down and kill them.

Consider anyone cheering the death of our soldiers to be enemy combatants.

I think they will hear from us very soon...

OMG...how can human beings celebrate like that (rhetorical question)....Hell, even if we caught OBL I wouldn't dance in the street on his corpse...I sometimes wonder why we are trying to improve the lives of barbarians.

Interesting theses and points in your blog.

"It was reminiscent of the 1993 scene in Somalia, when a mob dragged the corpse of a U.S. soldier through the streets of Mogadishu, eventually leading to the American withdrawal from the African nation."

This is *exactly* why this happened. The Clinton administration (of which Richard Clarke was a key member) cut and ran, so we'll face these same tactics until someone else shows them differently.

The Spanish chose appeasement. We can't afford to choose it.

Things are definitely heating up and will continue to do so prior to the June 30 elections.

And November... think "Spain".

The choice of war is also the choice to surrender the protection of rights, a reversion to the Hobbesian state of nature. Protection of rights is dependent on giving up the natural right to use force to impose one's will on others.

They chose the war, it's up to us to finish it. They need to learn that there is no place on earth where we will tolerate them waging war upon us.

Doesn't matter, they were people. And this is how those animals react. I'm in favor of the nuke on Fallujah.

I say it again: Damn them, Damn them all.

The people of Fallujah hanged some of the bodies on the old bridge like slaughtered sheep," resident Abdul Aziz Mohammed said. Some of the corpses were dismembered, he said. Beneath the bodies, a man held a printed sign with a skull and crossbones and the phrase "Fallujah is the cemetery for Americans."

Here is how I would handled this Sunni Triangle snake pit:

1. Set up a cordon sanitaire around Fallujah. Nobody goes in. The residents only go out, once, through check points to be sorted into "totally harmeless" or "in need of imprisonment"

2. Wait as long as it takes to have nobody left in the city except the Bathist die-hards.

3. Wage mechanical urban warfare on the city and the holdouts with heavy emphasis on air power and artillery and practically no emphasis on infantry.

4. Sustain the attack until there is not a stray dog left alive to roam the streets.

There are several photos I, for one, cannot bear to post, because they are too awful. But I will post the links, for those who want to see what they have done.

We ain't Spain.

The only French troops ever successful in Vietnam were not French at all. They were FFL, former Waffen SS regulars, serving 5 years in the FFL to "erase" their prior lives.

One of their convoys was ambushed. They came into a town and simply told the residents that every time a Frenchman (German) was killed, 10 locals would quietly disappear.

There was one more ambush. 2 Germans died. 20 locals disappeared.

There were no more attacks on the FFL in that vil. War is hell
