#1 We have fine American fighting men and women in Iraq who can shoot them in the face.

Ya just gotta love it.

#2 Yeah, think of it this way. How many bad guys have the boys flamed in Iraq so far? Is there even a reliable body count? Last estimate I read was 50K and that was a year ago. 50,000 nutjobs that would die to kill a few Americans are taking a dirt nap, instead of blowing up shopping malls in Hoboken like the post said.

#3 Now remember your proper liberal tripe, SC1711. We all KNOW (from our cozy desks in lower Manhattan) that 50% of those killed are wommin-folk, and kids~~, bunnies, duckies, etc.~~ (/sarcasm off). Still, 25,000 jihadis dead as Jim sounds good to me.

#4 And remember that we also culled the cream of the crop of the radical Islamic world, drawing in their very best fighters to Iraq and Afghanistan, concentrating them away from human shields where they fight our soldiers; not our civilians back home.

#5 --Optimism is for people who believe in progress--

And the eternal question, what do they want to progress to?

#6 And remember that we also culled the cream of the crop of the radical Islamic world, drawing in their very best fighters to Iraq and Afghanistan, concentrating them away from human shields where they fight our soldiers; not our civilians back home.

While I believe this to be an overly-optimistic assessment of the so-called "flypaper" effect, I still maintain that if Iraq has shown this world one thing it is this; Muslims will gleefully slaughter each other with endless bloodshed in the exact same fashion that whichever surviving sect will then go about killing all non-Muslim people.

The lesson of Muslim on Muslim violence must be spread far and wide so that the outside world gains some comprehension of what awaits once they overcome their crippling internecine differences.
