#1 Air Force reports an F-18 strafing a car, and a building in Basra on 3/27. No discussion of enemy losses. 3/24, our guys caught terrs in the open placing IEDs. Aerial assets killed 5.

I'm betting that Iraqi reports are closer to accurate than fantasy.

#2 I personally would be thrilled if the press would stop the body count crap.

You win by driving the enemy from the field and reducing ability to wage war....

You could kill a zillion of these nut jobs and it wouldn't stop them.....I mean there are a BILLION Moslems and about ten percent are wack jobs so that means about 100 million crazed fruit loops out there.

Doesn't seem like there is ever going to be an end to the supply of these dumbasses who want to become martyrs.

It is very hard to destroy the will of an enemy that WANTS to die as compared to WILLING to die. The WANT to die crowd is hard to reason with and in the long run, its just easier to accommodate them than waste your breath with negotiations, peace talks, gestures of good will, food, jobs, clean water, electricity, schools and reliable healthcare.........who cares about healthcare? I want to DIE!!!

Kill them kill them all.......does anyone out there have a 12.5 KT tactical nuke to spare?
