#4 I'd much rather go all Dresden on Ramada - and a few other places. I still say the US needs to demonstrate what can happen if we decide to quit playing "nice guy" and go totally mongol on the Middle East. Break 30 or 40 of the old B-52D models out of the boneyard, refurbish them, and send them over some town that's been a problem since day one - like Riyadh. Send them in 3-ship cells, with the last bomb from the first cell dropping at the same time the first bomb from the next cell begins falling. Call in all the sides and say, "We can do this somewhere in the Middle East once a day, every day, for the next ten years, or we can have peace. The choice is yours."

#6 Iraqi Soldiers entered the mosque to conduct a search, and Coalition Forces remained outside the mosque. Nothing significant was found in the mosque.

#7 Moskks used as armories or firing positions need to be leveled. Backing down on this is nothing but foolish. Let them pay a price. This shithole should have evaporated before their eyes with the little bunnies inside.
