You and me both, kiddo.

Trade War by Real War.

Yes, if the Saudis want war, let's give them the real thing.

Lower production ?

Let's show them how funding terrorists can really lower their prodiction !

Just let the Shia's take control of the town. They will be more than happy to do the dirty work and will teach the Sunni's in Fallujah that this type of behavior will only result in allowing more Shias to run the place. That will scare the hell out of them. Trust me.

This is what will happen.

Payback's a b*tch!

Fox News has noted the discrepancy.

I believe it was on Fox and Friends this morning.

What do you think about a major psychological operation. I would start by carpet bombing the outskirts of town with B-52s full of High Explosive ordinance. Then maybe set off a daisycutter around bedtime one night close enough to blow out windows and light up the night sky. Simultaneously you attack verified insurgent hideouts with an AC-130 Spectre.

The psychological impact would be immense. When we pussyfoot around with them they forget who they are dealing with. I'm not saying bomb the town but remind them we can if we want to. Regardless what language you speak, people always seem to understand a nice pressurized shockwave that throws you out of bed :-)

I don't know if the elements we are after can be intimidated by psychological operations. Maybe the US should deal with it the way Israel handled Black September; hunt them down individually and have them disappear, however long it takes. In the meantime, find a way to make sure our people aren't targets. I have a bad feeling about this.
