File under: Iraqi Insurgency

#1 We need surgically embedded homing devices in those reporters. We would be able to find the insurgent leadership in no time.

#4 Got it all figured out, don't they.
These guys are spun, even to the point of delusions.
And why couldn't we afford them just one Tomahawk for their little party? If they really are the "core" of the resistance, who cares if it pisses off Syria.

#5 "Now there is not only a military battle in Iraq, there is a political battle in the U.S." That part of the battle, he said, was nearly over.

Ralph Peters pretty much feels the same.

2000 pound JDAMs, dropped from a B-2 on the dinner party at night.

#7 Under the new leadership, all Iraqi citizens who worked for or cooperated with the current, coalition-backed government would be arrested. A "reconciliation council", drawn in large part from the ranks of the armed insurgency, would then draw up plans for a permanent "technocratic" government � which would immediately seek criminal charges and file civil suits against the U.S. government and major American war supporters in international court.

Now, where have we heard of "reconciliation councils" before. The phrasing sounds vaguely familiar. Hmmm, with several tens of thousands of citizens under arrest, and these reconciliation councils in operation...damn, this sounds familiar...

Pol Pot, anyone?

Anyone?
