They really should have gone after this guy about 2 years back when he
started the problems. Southern Iraq had been pretty quiet, and now this


Nearly all parties involved have been trying not to wage war sufficiently
for several years now. This is just another example. From the start
this war should have been waged as if every last creature will be killed,
and let the trouble makers race each other to prove they are no longer in
the resistance business. Instead the coalition forces have been racing
each other to see which partner can avoid seeing what is plain to see.
Until we see a General Sherman approach of taking the war into the
centers of support, not just shooting the "foot soldiers" which allow the
power brokers in Riyadh, Tehran, and Islambad to indulge in their
fanatsy, this war will continue.


It's an insurgency. You don't win by killing the enemy. You win by cutting
off their reinforcements.

That's why I envoked the General Sherman reference. The American Civil War
wasn't won because the Union killed all the Southern soldiers. Sherman
waged war on the plantation owners and war-making abilility of the South.
The Salafists and the Twelvers will fight until the last future cab driver
is dead in the street. They won't fight 1 month after their butt is set
ablaze.

Drain the swamp. Deport Islam. Until Muslims observe and protect
human/religious rights of others they should not be allowed to remain in the
West. Islam, as practiced, is incompatible with Western freedom.
