#4 it is only over the top for those who want a warm fuzzy feeling towards everyone....regardless if the other person wants to cut his/her head off...we need to bring back the american spirit of taking no bullshit regardless of the costs...our grandparents would be rolling in their graves (at least mine - rest thier souls) if they knew how humanely we are waging war..

i for one will have no problem joining a militia if a nuke (or any wmd)goes off in this country and get rid of these 5th elements in our midst.

#8 Memesis,

Here's the problem as I see it, first off about 40% of our population has been brainwashed into believing themselves above such feelings and actions. Secondly we've allowed ourselves to be manipulated in Iraq by certain factions of the Iraqi government in regards to playing hardball with these vermin. How else can one account for our actions vs Sadr? Why did we back off in Falluja some months back when it looked as if the city was ready to fall? Why aren't we showing the Sunni triangle a little "shock and awe" as we speak?

Look, I'm with you guys and your outlook on things, trust me there. It just seems that we have a wait them out approach over there when we should be rolling over these clowns!

I have complete faith in our enlisted people and their weapon systems, but I must admit I sometimes wonder about those calling the shots.

#9 It's the interim Iraqi Gov't. Simple as that, IMHO.

Since the legal turnover, we have backed off when they wanted us to and held back when we wanted to stomp the shit out of certain places. I have no doubts that the killus interruptus that occurred in Fallujah and Najaf came directly from Allawi & Yawar. They've only been on the job for 3.5 months. Of course, from my (our?) POV it sometimes sucks, but that's what we signed up for at the turnover.

With the election on the horizon I'll wager a small sum that the gloves will come off if Bush is re-elected - to try to give the Iraqis a clean shot at voting. I'll bet the Mil Cmd has a series of plans ready to go right this minute.

If Skeery is elected, Who Fucking Knows what will happen. Not even the Dhimmitwit hisownself could tell you.

#10 BTW, odd as it sounds, the Iraqi polls open on Nov 1st. Hey, don't ask cuz I don't know the answer. I just heard it on Fox during an interview with a Ret. Col military advisor who said we have, effectively 32 days to eliminate the no-go zones in Iraq if Nov 1st means what it's supposed to mean... so shit could start happening much sooner than I assumed.

Just FYI for everyone who, like me, did not know this.

#11 If Kerry is elected, the WOT will continue. Unfortuantely, all the head fakes and nuance will just draw it out longer. GW makes a much better US Grant.
