Chris, this is the only time I can recall you pursuing an argument into a full circle. LOL! :O)

I will now completely contradict a previous post I made on this thread. While I have grave concern for allowing an enemy any quarter to fight another day, I will defer to GW this time. If "controlled agreesion" works, in the short and medium term, perhaps that is in the best interests of all. However, I can't help but feel anger in the knowledge that our brave troops on the ground would be spared by crushing aerial bombardment (IMO, our troops are worth more than their "innocents"). If this plan fails (as I expect that it will), then the dogs of war must be unleashed with no further restraint.

This plan has been working marvelously. The insurgents are in a panic, looking for propaganda assistance from Al Jazeera.

There are cameras EVERYWHERE in that town, just waiting to capture one of our bombs blowing the arms off some kid. That is their only hope.

We will kill the insurgents one by one, while the others hear their screams.

Yeah, but Tom, I don't think this agression is as controlled as you suspect. The objective is still to kill the rags. The idea is to leave Fallujah standing. Of course, the Ragsters will see through this right quick and start attacking (or at least Zarqawi will, if he's there).

And we'll kill them.

Be Seeing You,

Chris
