#6  If you want to end the violence, kill the Jihad leadership. When the replacement is announced, kill him too. Keep killing them until no one wants the job. This is a war and these are the bad guys.

Sounds brutal, well I rather put these dirt bags in body bags than bury dead Marines.

If I could type, I'd be dangerous. ;-)

#4  Barbara makes THE point. Selecting the Spanish garrison was no accident. They've been perceived as cowards by the jihadis as a result of the election. Look for more of the same.

#1  Bremmer 'Condemned' the Iraqis - Yeah, that'll stop it.

Did you notice how organized and controlled these crowds were? Also notice there are several of these taking place at the same time throughout the country right after the mob won at Fallujah. I'm still waiting for the "Big Response" there.
If this escalates and continues like the trend is becoming (especially after June30) GW better brush up his resume.

This whole thing really ticks me off - why do civilians who know only what the news networks show get the picture better than people in theater? I think we are seeing the results of "Yes Men" being incharge instead of men with backbone and fortitude.
