"What everyone agrees is that we can’t just go on as we are," one senior military officer told NEWSWEEK. "We have to find a way to take the offensive against 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.

....."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." "

I do not think that kind of woodoo would make much difference....

Maybe the contrary...

Call them anyway you want.

But you have to TREAT them what they are.
An army.
Well trained, disciplined, having better intelligence than us, determined, and having the upper hand in choosing the time, place and the method of their fight and having the support of about 20 percent of the population....

Maybe this is what I just wrote is total bullshit...

Anyway, if you make this as a startpoint, you can not go very wrong. But if you sending the solders against some "pockets of diehard Saddam supporter terrorists" then you will face some naughty suprise...

Underestimating the enemy is the fastest way to defeat...
Overestimating, on the other hand, minimise the losses...

I think it's time for senior military to keep their mouth shut instead of balbbing to Newsweak.

Our MSM would like nothing more than for our military to fail any where in the world. The leftist loonies are salavating at the thought that America might lose in Iraq.

Maybe it is time for some attitude adjustment squads. Take some of these fruitcakes out in the country for a long ride on a dark night.

Say like take Michael Newdow out and put the fear of God into his syphilitic brain.
