We all need to do much more ranting. How could they not know their world view is wrong when masked coward thugs saw off innocent peoples' heads and they in turn show the "softer side" of the "spiritual" leaders.
They use seductive tools for people who have felt guilty their whole lives because they've got it so good: they rationalize. Sounds something like this.
"These people are only doing what any rational person would do who has seen so much death and destruction. Theire homeland has been invaded, and is being held by an immoral country just to steal their oil. They want to live pure lives according to their faith, which is really just about sitting quietly in fields and looking at butterflies, which is what they'd be doing now if it wasn't for the Great Satan America bombing their children and ambulances."
These leftists have gone a couple of generations living off the security provided by dead American Patriots. They're soft because they have forgotten that freedom isn't free. In the security we have provided, they have the luxury to not worry about "isms" taking them out.
What I was trying to point out is that Israel has a tactic of providing terrorists they want to kill with new cars via various means. These cars have transmitters hidden in them.
Maybe we have adapted that tactic in Iraq. When they get leery of getting new cars maybe we could give them a goat with a radio collar.
If we new what car this slime was riding in, why was he not scooped up and tortured without mercy until he revealed the hiding place of Zarqawi and his men?

>> When you kill enough of the enemy, they stop fighting. That's the problem with this war. The coalition is too squeamish about killing, unlike the enemy <<
Ding, Ding, Ding Ding!!! We have a winner. So simple even a child could understand, but not a dimowit....
Kill them before they kill us!!!
"it looks like we are using intelligence on the ground and Israeli tactics to take the big guys down one at a time."
Heard on Fox tonight that we have a special forces unit after Zarqawi, sme as we did to get Saddam. They said we have taken down half or more of Zarqawi's command and control so far in the process. We're gonna get him.
I'd love to kill the evil Islamist cowards in numbers like that. However, your approach to levelling entire cities won't do it. No matter how much you insist it will.
It worked for Alexander.
It worked for the Romans.
It worked for Attila.
It worked for the Mongols.
It worked in the war against the American Indians.
It worked in the American Civil War.
It worked in WWI
It worked in WWII
It will certainly work against the Islamists..
It is very difficult being an effective militant Islamic warrior if your cities, infrastructure, Mosques, financial base, families, farms, businesses and homes have been destroyed...
If ever again we can herd the militants of Fallujah, Sadr City, Najaf, etc, etc.....into a definable area as we have in the past ---- we certainly could and should reduce that section of the city to rubble, and then attack again simply to watch the rubble bounce...
And YES -- even if a "cherished holy Mosque" is endangered..
This alone, will convince the people that resistance to the coalition or support of the Islamists comes at a horrible price....
Unless of course -- YOU and YOUR family are willing to send your children and grandchildren for the next 50 years to gently suppress the murdering bastards...
My family will no longer go to wars that are not being fought to WIN at the least possible cost in our blood.

It's much "easier" to fight a war when the enemy is a state or at least an identifiable group.
Good. Then you identify the NORTH for me in this war, since you seem to have all the answers. Or are we back to "Nuke Mecca!" as a solution?
Forget it...
I wrongly assumed you had some sense...
I now see you don't....
Go back to sleep...
Perhaps asleep, you're in less danger.
Semper Fi
In other words, you have no answer, so you're taking your ball and going home? But not before throwing out an insult or two. Semper Fi, Dude.
