#1 This is a sad commentary on our tactical and strategic decision-making, if this story is true.

#2 The GWOT in it's entirety is a "sad commentary." It will never be won through diplomatic bakhshesh, Iraqimazation, or a flimsy half-assed police action. These bastards must be very aggressively hunted down, given no quarter, and thoroughly destroyed! Entire cities destroyed, armies dessimated, navies sunk. Nothing short of total victory must be achieved, and soon. We have already wasted several years. The nieve concept of nation building, rehabilitation and reform is absolutely ludicrous. It is a western concept that is foreign to the understanding of these tribalists. They are savages, diabolical murderers well beyond the scope of most in the civilized world to imagine. If we do not go on the hunt soon, the West will be drained both economically and politically, similarly to what took place in the FSU leading up it's fall. Action is required, victory is much needed. Take the butcher's bill to them immediately. We have the means, all that is lacking is the will.

#3 Quite right Besoeker. It's a travesty to expect any less from the fighting men and women of Us Armed Forces. This policy from the top of holding hands is a crock of shit and leads to unnecessary deaths daily. That's why I reject more troops into Baghdad unless they are allowed to function in the fighting mode. If that means taking out city blocks, fine.
