#2 The headline ought to read BS parade in Falluja amid truce talks. We are wasting our time with this truce talk crap. Get in there and clean this s**thole out.

#3 "Hey Bill, I think there is a pregnant woman in that ambulance about to give birth! Let's blow it up!" "Hold on a sec, can't you see I'm busy torturing this child?"

#4 These "Muslim Scolars" are such a joke. Look at the s--thole they live in and how everyone treats each other, and then they come out of the woodwork to complain about inhumanty when it suits their purposes. The whole middle east is that way, it seems. We need millions of electricians to rewire all their brains back to code.

#5 No truce, no negotiations, no quarter. Sadr surrenders or we take the place apart in pursuit of him.

No-effing-body calls 9-11 "a miracle from God" and gets a free pass. Go ahead, pour on the firey rhetoric, just remember it's your @ss that has to cash the check your mouth is writing.

#6 Religious education is the bane of the Middle East. The Koran is remarkably silent about mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, and anything else required to build and maintain a modern civilization. Since most of the educational apparatus is focused on the Koran, anyone from this part of the world who wants to learn anything useful has to study abroad. During the 80's, arab countries had designated smart guys. For example, back then the only engineer in the arab world that understood avionics was a Moroccan educated in Canada. If Egypt or Jordan needed that expertise, they would ask Morocco would send their smart guy to help out. The same was true in almost every technical discipline. I don't think technical competence (with the possible exception of the chemistry of explosives) is any more widespread today. Until they fix their educational system they will remain third rate.
