File under: Iraqi Insurgency

#1 I just had an idea. Somebody with a sense of humor could do a faux propaganda radio broadcast in the Tokyo Rose manner, telling the soldiers to desert, that the war is lost, that al-Qaeda will greet them as comrades, that the insurgents have already sunk US aircraft carriers and soon will be overrunning Europe, etc.

Then follow it up with a special message in pidgin English to "Arry-Hay Eid-ray, Ancy-nay Elosi-Pay, and Illary-Hay Linton-Cay", advising them that the insurgents have accepted their unconditional surrender of US forces, and to proceed with their plans for the conquest of the United States by the armies of Islam.

Then "sign off" by saying "And now back to Wolf Blitzer in CNN Atlanta".

#2 "Historians will have a good time with all this."

Remember, the winners write the history books. If we insist on quitting, those books will be in Arabic.

#3 It would be interesting to research whether any Congressmen called for a pull out of Iwo Jima.

#4 62 years later and we still haven't totally withdrawn from Japan.

#5 Glenmore - for a while I've been thinking of the comment made by one US Navy Admiral - "It's my job to make sure that when this is over japanese (substitute arabic today) will only be spoken in Hell..." Where's that Admiral's 21st century counterpart?
