#1 The Fedayeen Saddam are sick evil bastards. Saddam's reservation in hell will be soon:

---snip---
The Fidayi Saddam include a special unit known as the death squadron, whose masked members perform certain executions, including in victims' homes. The Fidayi operate completely outside the law, above and outside political and legal structures.

It is difficult to establish the exact date when the beheading of women campaign began in Iraq. Witness accounts report the public beheading of women from June 2000 through to May 2001. Saddamâs Fidayi conduct the beheading operations, which take place in two stages. Accompanied by the leaders of the Baâth party, the Fidayi make a night raid on the district. The latter is gone through with a fine toothcomb to eliminate any hints of revolt and in order to discover any weapons. The population is summoned for the next day at prayer time. They arrive at the stated hour at the home of the victim, who is dragged out in the clothes she is wearing. She is then stretched out on an iron bench, her head hanging down, in front of her children, her family and the whole population of the district. The executioner and his assistants are dressed in brown bearing the logo âSaddamâs Fidayiâ and usually do not come from the district or the region. The Feddayi detailed to carry out the beheading takes his sword held out by an assistant and cutâs the victimâs head off. According to the scenes described, the head is exhibited or the body and the head are thrown into black boxes and taken away. Women belonging to families suspected of being hostile to the regime or whose members are in prison as âopponentsâ (the term of course covers a considerable number of definitions) are particularly targeted.

#2 IF Sadsack is going to force every citizen of Iraq to be a soldier, then the best thing to do is to treat them as soldiers. Either they surrender or we stomp them. I'm sure the second time we flatten a city where the Fedayeen are hiding among the citizens, that will become a very difficult thing for them to do.

#3 House to house, guys. House to house. Tedious but necessary.

#5 You do NOT let your enemy dictate how you fight. That's a losing proposition. Make them fight on your terms and destroy them. The faster it's over, the better off everyone is.

#6 It's time from Gen. Franks to call the Israelis, get a copy of that standard press release: "The hospital/ambulance/house was no longer being used for civilian purposes . . ."

#8 Has anyone here ever done any research on the results of firebomb raids on Tokyo? These did as much as atomic bombs to break the back of the Japanese. Killed and maimed more people, too, but took 100 or more B29's to accomplish.

I think George Bush should draw a "Red Ring" around Baghdad, too - one of fire. Anyone left inside the ring has 48 hours to get out, or sayanora. The world won't like it, but it'll sure save a heckuva lot of OUR people.

#9 Yeah right, let's liberate Iraq... from its population.
That will show 'em!

#10 I hope that we can send as many militant Muslims as possible, as quickly as possible, to be with Allah. I think they would prefer to relax a bit with all those virgins (even though it wouldn't involve killing), and we could use their guns. If Saddam uses VX or any WMD, I think we should use nukes on Baghdad. Even little nukes make great deep bunker busters and tunnel flatteners. The world would be better off without these vermin. And GET SADDAM, and his murderous sons if they're still alive. It's payback time. It's time to roll the Koran up REAL TIGHT, and shove it where the sun don't shine.

#11 Priorities:
1) Win the War
2) Liberate Iraqis

Winning is paramount - if the city of Bagdad is going to resist, flatten it. Priority 2) is clearly lower than 1)
