Iraq
Boomers get 2 confirmed kills on Iraqi Children
2003-12-29
EFL
Roadside bombs in and near Baghdad killed two American soldiers and two Iraqi children Sunday, a day after a coordinated guerrilla assault in a southern city killed 19 people and wounded nearly 200, the U.S. military said.
Boomers blowing up kids - kittens next?
...a blast in Baghdad killed an American soldier and two Iraqi children, and wounded five American soldiers, their Iraqi interpreter and eight members of the Iraqi civil defense corps... A prominent lawyer working with coalition officials was shot dead outside his home in the northern city of Mosul on Friday, police said, a day after a tribal leader and member of a U.S.-appointed local council was assassinated in the city...
Ok, all you peaceniks, how are we supposed to negotiate with people who will do things like that to their own people, their own children? Remember - this was a command detonated device - someone deliberately set it off knowing those kids were there. Hey moonbats - now its "For the Children", care to climb on board?

#6  I wonder what a MOAB would do to a town like Fallujah? Would they even care if we turned Fallujah into a glow in the dark spider-hole? Sometimes I think Islam, as a whole, has a death wish. 'Gee, daddy, how long CAN we poke the tiger with a stick before he eats us?'

#4  These people have to get their information from someone, their supplies from someone, and the money to carry out the operations from someone. Capture them, wring them dry, then hang them in a public place. Put a big sign, in ten languages so no one's confused, "These people tried to steal your freedom", under each one. List their names, the names of their families, and what they did (or tried to do). Pretty soon, about 5% of the population will be social pariahs, the number of booms will drop drastically, and there won't be a need for many more hangings.

The biggest problem with our government is that it's still operating in "civilized" mode in an uncivilized environment, against an enemy that considers not only us, but our civilization, our morals, and our behavior, the enemy. That is not a means of operation conducive to success. We don't need to get as anal as they do, but we need to let the perps know we CAN, and WILL if pushed to it. The people doing the booming believe anything they do is ok, if it brings about the results they want. We need to let them know we'll use their behaviors against them if they don't "develop some manners". We also need to let them know they don't even have a CLUE about really being anal. I think Falluja would be a good place to stage a demonstration.

#3  Arrest the families for 'aiding and abetting' (Mafia style), cordon the towns that host the boomers, and kill them on sight instead of capturing. No more taking prisoners if we catch them in the act. Summary execution, by way of "They were trying to escape".

The Big Cheese&trade is already in custody, so there isn't going to be much value in taking people lower down on the ladder into custody. Those that organize and/or carry out terror attacks and are caught should be dealt with promptly, keeping the Iraq prison system from having to be burdened with their upkeep.

#1  Time to get tough. They set the rules - Deguello. (Roughly translated, it means "No Quarter". No Mercy.)

Arrest the families for 'aiding and abetting' (Mafia style), cordon the towns that host the boomers, and kill them on sight instead of capturing. No more taking prisoners if we catch them in the act. Summary execution, by way of "They were trying to escape".

Have to show them more stick and less carrot. Like the Commander of the Army of Steve said "We arent going to win them over by handing out lolipops."
