#1 We have won the war and now we have to win the peace. This is one of the biggest projects we will ever have to do. It is daunting and challenging, but in order to remake the middle east we are going to have to remake Iraq. And that means we are going to have to build from the bottom up AND we are going to have to exert some authority on every half-wit imam, mullah, mufti, and wannabe religious leader and warlord in the country. There is no way the country will come together with SAIRI, Iranian influences, Baathist leftovers vying for their piece of the action. Some of the young ones we will teach, some of the old ones and the fanatics will have to be squashed. We better have our best brains on this one! In another light, if we can pull this one off, radical Islam is finished. One of the biggest poker games you will ever see, folks.

#2 "I've seen no indication of how big the B list is and what they propose to do with the B list."

Are there any other Gilbert and Sullivan fans here? The Mikado, Lord High Executioner, "I've got a little list...". Gotta love it!

#3 Some of these NGOs could be useful. Amnesty Intl has a pretty dossier on Saddam's abuses. Combine it with all the intel we'll get out of the captured documents and the testimony from the victims and their families, and then hold a Nuremburg-style war crimes trial for each member of the B-list.

Don't fight all the NGOs -- turn some of them. Could be very useful.

#4 And let us not forget:Lybia chairs the U.N.S.C.'s Human Rights Commision.

#5 Supposedly (if it's not disinfo) in the late 1990's Sadam set up a squad of 3,000 just in case Iraq was invaded.
It's too bad intel doesn't seem to think the Internet is a valuable Intel tool; if I can find some of these bastards, why can't they?
