#1 The CIA has metal detectors at the entrances to their 'secret prisons' they are not going to allow pictures to get out. The photgs at Abu Graib should have been shot for treason. And another thing, mark my words; if Sadre lives through this handover, we will regret it 3 years from now! He will align with Iran having won the civil war in Iraq, and a Super State of Iran will emerge.

#2 Shoot to kill boys. Until the word gets out that these tactics don't work and that it only gets your girl friends and their little brothers killed, it wont stop. Shoot to kill.

Swarthy men hiding behind kids. Arabs, whats not to like.

"You like me don't you Lucky?"

"Yes Abu, your a mans man."

#3 Shoot to kill boys.

I've been saying this all along. Basically, capturing insurgents/terrorists will result in being stuck with feeding them, clothing them, and maintaining their health, wasting money and resources that are best expended on more worthy individuals.

#4 Before my son went over there earlier this year, he told me his #1 fear-- above getting killed, even-- was of being caught in one of these situations where the jihadis would force him to shoot at civilians, especially kids, in a gun battle.

These "honorable" Arabs certainly know how to exploit our fears.

#5 I thought this was a tactic used only in Somalia.

#6 The jihadis use anything as a tool against us. Our humanity is considered a weakness. When Sammy was criticized for his cruelty and torture, etc., he killed his opposition, ignored them, or told them to screw off.

Americans in the Pacific war in WW2 tried to get the Japanese to surrender. They got shot or booby trapped. The Americans hardened up and then took no quarter. The same goes for Iraq and the rest of the WoT (WoI). The decisions on the part of the Jihadis to include women and children as combatants will backfire when the Allies harden up and take them out as combatants. The Israelis had to deal with the same thing. It is just the way this war will go.

#8 Well if our leaders would get some BRAINS and start exposing the cowards on video (or even pictures) instead of bending over and allowing Al-Jitzz/ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/BBC/... to sodomize us with the prison abuses by a few.

If we were to show such videos then the public backlash against Sadr and the 'insurgants' might cause them to stop using civilian human shields or young boys.
