Im sure if they thought they could do it from the air they would, but for the most part these guys probably blend in with anyone else, and dont have fixed positions. We could just blow up a few city blocks, but we would kill a hell of a lot of innocents and that would just create an even larger Sheite militia.Whatever we do, we need to stop pretending that the war is over and stop pretending that a well trained police force can handle the situation. We are at war and as much as I hate to say this, we are either going to have to wipe out city blocks with air and artillary power or we're going to have to take the enemy street by street, building by building in the type of bloody combat that our enemies at home (i.e. the dems and the mainstream media) predicted would happen when we first liberated Iraq. I guess the third choice is to withdraw from Iraq, but that would result in a Pol Pot/Rawanda type bloodbath and do more to for the cause of worldwide terrorism than the election of JF'nK would ever accomplish.

Some people here are under the impression that after we tkae Fallujah that this will "all be over". Bomb the city and use it as a warning to those who start up another riot

Can't get out of my mind that as this trouble was starting, Kennedy was declaring this is "Bush's Vietnam." And Biden - who the republicans including Gingrich treat with respect - saying the US will emerge from this "failed policy" demoralized and defeated with no ability to "threaten" Syria and Iran. Biden directly stated that is a good thing.
Will America be smart enough to reject the dems as they stab us in the back?
