I know I'm behind but I can't seem to catch up to this thread. Are we Still supposed to be scared of the word jihad? How 'bout fatwa? Like the democrat tactics, eventually the magic wears off and they're just bums in dirty nightshirts screeching about a god that hates them.

We have the firepower and manpower to obliterate these mosquito people. It is time to open a case of Whoop Ass.

It is war, but we don't have to fight it this way. We have the technological advantage to fight this with a minimal amount of american deaths.

Yes, they mixed up the number of US losses and estimated Iraqi KIA.
...or it was wishful thinking by Murdoch.

Hey, have you heard anything more about those important target people the Marines caught in Fallujah?
To: BushMeister
Does SILLY chicken work better for you?
If we get into a position of taking 50 KIA and 250 wounded a week for months, do you think that would present a problem militarily or politically? That's quite possible in a general uprising.
You expect me to answer a hypothetical and pessimistic question like that? Maybe SILLY chicken is not strong enough?
You folks need to get a grip. This is war, not policing. People die. Stop looking at this from a political perspective. One could almost argue that the insurgents are taking their clues from the American media and Ted Kennedy if you want to go there. I don't.
They are trying to shake our resolve, with assistance from our own media. Are you going to let them? Or, will you put your heads back on straight, and stop acting like flags in the wind, flapping with every breeze from the media?
The 'problem' belongs to the enemy, who I trust will be dead sooner if not later. When we kill enough of them, they will not be able to depend on the media to help them.

Most Iraqi wives meet their 30 year old husbands on their wedding day at about age 15. It's an interesting comparison, to meet some American soldierss who don't push and shout and beat you. The social dynamics at work in Iraq must be off the chart now, as these cultures collide. It's possible that a lot of the jihadi jerk anger is directed against our troops because their wives are getting their eyes opened to the wider world.

when we have the firepower to end it.All the firepower on the planet does not help in a hold out, insurgency situation.
Brute force on the ground is the only answer to finish it once and for all.
This is long postponed cleanup.

This is reminiscent of Somalia. Even though it was a hellacious firefight and we lost 19, we killed well over 1000 bad guys. It wasn't a quagmire...it was a route. With a little more support and a little less Clinton, we would have gone back in and finished the job.
In this case, the hew and cry is the same...quagmire, we've angered the locals, it's all our fault, etc. etc. etc....BUT everything else is different. We have the support, we have overwhelming military capacity and we have the guts to STICK to the plan and make it work.
Thank God for strong leadership.

Sky TV: 130 (US) SOLDIERS KILLED IN IRAQ - REPORTSHopefully this is not true, the article does say that this has not been confirmed. If you find that this is not the case please find a different news source.

You must not have any kids. Or perhaps just doesn't ascribe to a religion that teaches them to strap on dynamite for the glory of allah.

I think we basically don't know. I thought Ramadi was Sunni territory. Would the Sadr gang attack there? No idea.
David Chater from Sky News basically said that all journalists are in the dark. They don't dare to leave the hotel, and cannot get armed escorts.
To: Pukin Dog
Why the name calling? If you disagree, fine. State your case. No need for the DU name-calling tactics.

"We have the technological advantage to fight this with a minimal amount of american deaths."
So you're saying Bush is fighting a political war and not fighting to win?
