FUCK IRAQ

[TIGERJC]

My whole thought is on how to conduct the "war" is to actually play like it's war.

Establish a 5 mile no-man zone at the border, and declare the boarder closed and anyone caught comming across the border or leaving the country at any point other than a checkpoint will be shot. Close the fucking border and leave some bodies to show you mean it, 0 tolerance. The country isn't even secure as far as foregin nationals getting involved and smuggling weapons in.

Declare an intent to disarm the population and set a dead line. Anyone caught with weapons other than a pistol for personal protection will be detained or summarily executed as the situation dictates, the property where the weapons were found would be seized and demolished, the US army may not be able to carry this out, but acting along side of the Iraqi forces, the Iraqi forces could carry it out. This would cause the weapons to move because moderates would be forced to decide if it's worth it to hold stashes for insurgents. If weapons are moving you can find and track them. You would more clearly polarize the population into those who want to fight and those who don't.

The situation is too out of hand to play nice. Playing it like it is now will ensure it drags on forever with little change in sight. We might make more enemies playing hard, but it's what the situation dictates as far as conducting a proper war. Don't go to war wearing kid gloves, you're going to piss people off, your not going to win over the people, so make them choose sides and......... then conduct a war as such.

This is no longer the WW2 or even the Vietnam days, the media will not allow that to happen. You're right, but I don't see us doing anything like that in iraq, shit look at our on borders

Then give the reporters guns and let them fight the war.

The problem with Americans is that they talk the big game but when it comes down to playing it, they balk. We want the war over and we want Terrorists dead but in the end we give them every goddam right to do what they do and then bog ourselves down with judical this and legislative that.

I agree with J, clamp that shit down. Nobody has any fear of US troops over there. Put some fear of god into those fuckers and all this shit will grind to a halt. Find a terrorist making a bomb, blow his house up with his family and shit inside it. Find out what they fear, find out what you have to do to make them think they ain't getting to heaven or Allah and do it. Use their worst fear against them and then they will think twice about fucking around.
