#1 We need to kill a lot more Iraqis quickly. The Turks handled these people brutally until they stopped resisting; then they patted the survivors on the head and said "we won't do this again as long as you make nice and do what you are told; screw up and attack us again, or disobey orders, and lots of you will die." It worked. These people play by Hama Rules. If we can't adapt to that, it's time for us to get out of Iraq as quickly as possible and prepare to use nuclear weapons on the Islamists that will take over in Iraq as soon as we leave.

#3 Samarra is near the new headquarters of Al Qaeda (since they ran like scared rabbits from Anbar province). This is one area that has seen an increase in activity (as opposed to almost all the rst of Iraq that has seen a drop). Once we force AQ to move again, this area will probably return to normal.

#4 Because Powell's M4 assault rifle had jammed, he'd grabbed the pump-action shotgun slung over his shoulders and pulled the trigger.

Hicks: I like to keep this handy. For close encounters.
