You've got that right about what a useless piece of garbage the Geneva Convention is. Every war we've fought in with that useless code of conduct has always resulted in the other side widely disregarding that. Our soldiers have been tortured, murdered, we've constantly dealt with enemies out of uniform. They're savages and we need to deal with them as savages. The people we have in custody were captured attempting to ambush our people, with weaponry in their possession. The only way to have a chance of saving our people is to threaten to execute those we have in custody. We treat them as they treat ours. This has got to stop. And though I support President Bush, I am angered over the f*** up with not cleaning out Fallujah when we had the opportunity. They continue to have that as a sanctuary. We need to worry about that soldier and other US hostages who haven't been accounted for. And it's been months.

Yeah, our pulling out of Fallujah was one huge mistake, and it was a mistake born out of political correctness. If we have to fight a war with one hand tied behind our backs by political correctness, then it's better to not fight the war at all. War is a no-nonsense action. It's for all the marbles, and we must engage in it ruthlessly to end it as quickly and as cost-effectively (to our side) as possible. If that means killing scores of the enemy and their neighbors who either shield them or allow them to operate, then so be it. And if we are not committed to fighting to win, then we have no business fighting to begin with.
