| #6 Should've blown up the entire jail. You don't leave your men behind. |

| #5 Lol, SPo'D - I'll bet you're right - as soon as the initial outrage passes... |

| #4 Trust the BBC to soon label this (jail break) as a criminal act deserving of a drum head court marshal. |

| #3 But how will they ever recover the trust and confidence of the locals after using brute force like those fucking cowboy 'Merikans? |

| #1 A case of too soft power, methinks. Why send tanks if you're gonna just sit in 'em and let asshat Taterites set them ablaze? Boggle. This has been coming for a long time. All that nicey-nice hands-off shit with Tater's little Medhi Army is blowing up in your face. If you're going to arrest one of the top local Tater Boyz, no doubt a baby-step in the right direction, well, they've figured it out -- you're unwilling to use your armed forces as armed forces. The local commander gets to wear this mess - and if IIRC, he trashed the US troops for their methods. Anyone wanna bet that it gets progressively worse in the South? I'll bet Tater's giggling like a schoolgirl. |
