Death is the only thing these murderous bastards understand, bring it on!
This will be Grab Abu......
We *should* have been doing this all along. The Kurds have no love for Saddam's minions and the thought of being hunted by them should put the fear of one God or another into the "insurgents."
Maybe one small, good baby step start would be for our senior military officers to stop calling them "insurgents" and start calling them "fascist terrorists."
Our senior military personnel need to remember that wars are fought with words as well as weapons.
I have NO problem with this......but you know the dims are going to come out of the woodwor about this
I like this *option*. Implement immediately, Rummy. Get it under control, ASAP. Just wish I could re-enlist and join in the fun.
....What to do about the deepening quagmire of Iraq....
Kill, kill, kill.
When the enemy is destroyed, dead and gone, the problems will be solved.
First I'll take my grain of salt, this coming from News Weak. This anonymous 'senior military officer,' is he retired? Sick Willy appointee? In any way shape or form associated with U.S. armed services? If it comes from an MSM source it needs triple verification.
It's about time!
Works for me.
on with the option-let's quit screwin around in this iraqi s***hole.
An idea who's time is come bump.
I'd strongly recommend the wording be changed to: "assassination AND kidnapping". These vipers should be thoroughly interrogated prior to departure. Hopefully we have mossad "interrogators" on board in Iraq to assist. They have extensive experience in getting islamofascist jihadists to sing like canaries.
This "senior military officer" should be court-martialed post haste!
Well, I suppose that the press will ask for an "embedded" reporter to accompany the "Death Squads" on their missions.
EVERY WEEK, NEWSWEEK SPAMS ME with press releases about its new stories. I usually ignore them because by the time they're out they're already old news to blogosphereans. But this piece, with its combination of blatant bias and factual inaccuracy, seems so typical that it's worth a comment. Excerpt:
Now, NEWSWEEK has learned, the Pentagon is intensively debating an option that dates back to a still-secret strategy in the Reagan administration’s battle against the leftist guerrilla insurgency in El Salvador in the early 1980s. Then, faced with a losing war against Salvadoran rebels, the U.S. government funded or supported "nationalist" forces that allegedly included so-called death squads directed to hunt down and kill rebel leaders and sympathizers. Eventually the insurgency was quelled, and many U.S. conservatives consider the policy to have been a success—despite the deaths of innocent civilians and the subsequent Iran-Contra arms-for-hostages scandal.
Er, maybe because the Iran-Contra scandal had to do with overthrowing the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, rather than the guerrilla war in El Salvador? I mean, I know all those people look alike to the folks at Newsweek, but this is either inexcusable sloppiness, or simply a stretch to try to bring in more stuff that might make it look bad.
The whole piece is like that, and it's unfortunately typical. I don't know whether this sort of thing is a good idea or not -- I can see arguments both ways -- but this story goes out of its way, as usual, to get the digs in before getting around to mentioning the actual arguments.
I guess I should be glad, though: Usually it's all about Vietnam. At least this story is bringing things 20 years closer to the present.
Why have we not being doing this up to now??
Sounds like a plan to me.
1.Take the war to the enemy. No safe haven in Syria--not even for the Syrians who aid and abet.
2.Make it costly for the majority of Sunnis to support the terrorists by creating a security zone around the Sunni triangle where there would be limited travel rights to and from other parts of Iraq. Of course, this would mean limiting commercial traffic of all but basics through the cordon--and that would be slow because each vehicle would be inspected.
3. I'm sure we can come up with other ideas to make the Sunnis realize there is a cost involved with support for terror.
btttttt This means going nuclear on these savage killers. We make them into the sitting ducks. We'll need a great network of informants
