#3 IOW< like the Commies, aka Commie Fascists or Fascist Communists or other Clintonist definitions, even though the people of Iraqi mostly like America's concepts of democracy, the answer to God-based Totalitarianists/Communists is, surprise surprise, to appease and accomodate them no matter how many innocents they slaughter, because they're being "forced" to kill for killing's sake. * LISA SIMPSON - whom instead of enjoying being out of school due to snow demands that blue-haired Conservative mom MARGE satisfy her wild psychotic rants/screams by grading her, however fake or subjective the "grades"!? According to Lefty and Spetzlamist math, its mom MARGE that needs psychiatric help, NOT and never manic hysterical LISA.

#4 Ware is an idiot. The NWFP has always been policed locally and its moot whether its legally part of Pakistan. What the pakistani government can do is limited without radical changes. The Sunni Iraqi provinces are part of Iraq and a legally constituted central government can do whatever it wants and is capable of. As that capability increasing so will its control. If the Sunnis want to die trying to stop them, so be it.

#5 I've been joining their groups, visiting then in their safe houses, their villages, I've been travelling with them, I've seen their weapons caches

Treason: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court."

This guy is a mouthpiece for the terrorists. He's as much a traitor as Lord Haw-Haw. God dammit, why don't we have a single Federal prosecutor with the guts to do his duty?

Hang this bastard, burn his body, mix the ashes with horseshit, and smear the mixture on the office walls at the Times.

You might be able to get an NEA grant for that, RC.

#7 All you need it an appropriate verbal expression of artistic BS. I'd opt for a Ken doll in a huge pickle jar of pee with the head removed and a scaled photo of his face pasted to the face of the doll's head. I'd call it the new "yellow journalism."

#8 Most of the 3rd world is in a perpetual state of limited civil war/unrest. This is exactly why Rumsfield says we are not going to win this war the Iraqis are. We are not going to fight a limited civil unrest terrrorism with suicide bombers, that can only be cured with time and police action, education, civil gov and progress. We still have Skin heads, Panthers, Xradical group, and such doing random acts of violence in the States, is it a threat to the whole of our nation NO, is their areas in the country or getto were cops must go carefully with backup YES, does it matter no. We are only thier long enough for the Iraqi gov forces to built up enough to handle the problem. Then we will pull back to a back up role and security for a outside intervention while the Iraqi gov slowly through time education and freedom pushes the terrorist into limbo. We will win by holding on the Iraqi gov will nail in the last nail. We crushed the Nazis then we controled the territory while the nazi wolf brigades tried to reak havoc. Once the German gov came into effect they through laws, police, and other action ran what was left of the Nazi way of thinging into the ground they nailed the last nail while we sat in big bases to keep the neighbors in line and dont forget even today their is Nazis they just are irrelevant.

The media are idiots. If they would be honest with the fact that if they quit reporting the terrorism as viable but instead showed it as what it is random violence that cannot change anything and is simply a act of desperation. Tell people that our casualties are nothing compared to historical standards that at this rate we can continue for 50+years before we hit the Veitnam levels let the terrorist realize that just one more week wont due they best think 50+yrs, can they hold that rate? I sereosly doubt it. Sadam had unrest in the south and north yet I dont remember anyone of the media saying Iraq was a out of control country with interviews with the Shia or Kurd saying Saddam and the Sunis days were numbered we will fight forever Allallalla.

Well, he is an Australian..

The NWFP has always been policed locally and its moot whether its legally part of Pakistan

The NWFP is a full integrated procince in Pakistan, just like Sindh and Punjab. It is the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) that are a law unto themselves - South Waziristan etc.

#13 Time, Newsweak, NY Times, WaPo have got to know that a US military victory in Iraq will be the worst outcome they could possibly imagine and that is why they are fighting to hard to see it come about.

The stakes are very, very high for the left. A military victory will cripple the left for at least a generation if not more in mainstream politics.

The mask has been off the leftist media for a long time, and I hope that Dubya realizes just how high the political stakes are now. This is not the time to go wobbly, not the time to discover your inner Hillary; we have to see this thing through to victory. No other outcome is acceptable.

#14 The Colonel needs to do one thing more: He needs to make the Sheik stand guard WITH HIM at the site for at least 24 hours. The second or third time that happens, I guarantee you the IEDs will stop. The sheik will scream that he's too important for that, but with the colonel there, too, that won't hold water. I believe our colonels can out-stand any "special" arab who spends most of his time being catered to.
