"Make them walk ahead of military convoys"
I liked the Spartan decision in "300", to use them as morter for their wall.
This might explain why the IRGC is acting the way it is..
Without an aggressive PR campaign, something were apparently incapable of, all that would successfully be used to isolate us. But if we harm no innocents, except those hit by the bodies of their falling operatives, what are they going to say? Quit killing our spies? No getting blood all over our parliamentarian parade grounds? The enormity of the carnage would be a testament to the enormity of their involvement in the Iraqi insurgency. It would also scare the crap out of their agents. Givem a trial. If guilty, dropm.
A pretty good list of their failures...
I was just making sure you'd seen this Dog, and see that you have.
If our ROE pertaining to terrorists tied to Iran have loosened (at least temporarily) in Petraes's favor, this (or some) retaliation from Iran probably isn't totally unexpected.
Thanks for the ping to this. I hadn't realized it was so many Iranians. Are these some of the people Iran wants freed in exchange for the British sailors and Marines?
I'm sure. Isn't is sickening how Petraeus had to fight for the right to capture these terrorist thugs?
Suicidal diplomacy and inbreeding at the CIA is going to get a lot of people killed.
I must say that expecting soldiers to prove something on the battlefield before they pick up jihadists is the stupidest thing I've heard in, well, maybe ever.
Additionally, a few months ago it was reported that our military couldn't fire on jihadists who fired at the good guys but escaped to a house or vehicle because there might be innocent people inside.
FNC reported the other day that only 40% of the "surge" troops are over there but violence is down over 50%. The Democrats are going to have to work fast to make sure the surge doesn't work.
They're doing their damndest..
Now the 60% that aren't there yet...I wonder if some of those are relief for the ones that have been there a while and also if some will be deployed to other locations such as....Iran.
Nonetheless we know the surge is working because we don't hear anything about it.
That quote "until they run out of information or we run out of food will go down in military history with "NUTS" and "Old soldiers never die, they just fade away." Got to admire his thinking.
