#2 I think its getting to be about time for a re-enactment of Hamburg in several of these cities.

I know we don't want to kill civilians, but if they're hiding, and protecting the insurgents, they're not really civilians. The Army would be wise to stop bullshitting themselves about these people.

#3 In Fontimiya, one of the larger wheat-farming communities, 20 men sat cross-legged in a windblown field, eyes downcast and some shivering in the cold, as U.S. soldiers barked out questions.

Simple (albeit well armed) farmers forced from their fields into a cold rain in the desert while dawg-faces bark at them threatningly.

#4 You've found the lair. All able bodied males misssing. Course, they're the ones you've been chasing. Now do what's required. Take the remaining to detention camps. Burn the structures to the ground. Make it well known that this will be the pattern until all the Brave Lions are hunted down and killed.
