		<description>[...] When John Kerry published the op-ed, I had this to say: You’ve got to be kidding me - does John Kerry REALLY think we could withdraw our troops a scant six weeks from now? Nice to see that one outlet on the left is still in touch with the un-reality of this reality-based-community-inspired hogwash. [...]</description>

		<description>Comrades,

    We need to use our military against the terrosists with the same ruthlesness that they use. 

    For example, if Al Sadr&#039;s boys are involved in an attack against any Coalition or Iraqi forces, we call in Al Sadr and explain to him that he has 24 hours to turn them in and all the weapons he has cached, and renounce terrorism, or we start taking his boyz out. Painfully, and openly. If he refuses, then we shoot out one of his knees, and give him another 24 hours, etc.

     The key is NOT to target the Iraqi people, not to target the non-combatants, but those who want to harm us. Make them understand that we will bulldoze their homes AND their mosques if they don&#039;t stand down. Let them see what war really looks like. Treat them wityh the same respect that General Sherman did the South. Hit them, knock them down, and kick them while they are down and helpless, until they understand that this isn&#039;t any damned religious game. 

     Iraq belongs to the Iraqi people, and not to the thugs with rpg&#039;s who can&#039;t seem to understand that concept. You also let it be known that Coalition forces will no longer accept surrender from foreign jihadists. If you aren&#039;t an Iraqi, and you attack us, and are captured, you get hauled out and shot. No trials, no quarter, no 3 hots and a cot at Gitmo.

     Respects,

       Gwedd</description>

		<description>Were I an insurgent I would consider laying low for awhile to see if I could lull the Iraqi and Coalition forces into a false sense of security that would result in a speedy and large withdrawal of troops, after which I would rain civil war misery and death on the the hapless Iraqi forces and people.

But thats just me.</description>

		<description>The cabinet positions have already happened.  That&#039;s why a functioning government isn&#039;t materializing, they refuse to negotiate and cooperate with each other.  The problem in Iraq isn&#039;t the terrorists, that&#039;s like saying we have to bomb LA to root out all the gangs and that will solve all of LA&#039;s problems.  If the factions can&#039;t use our presence as an excuse to recruit anti-US insurgents, then the people will begin to demand peaceful solutions themselves.  The plan doesn&#039;t call for stopping the fight against the few terrorists that are there, it only calls for not doing it within the midst of a civil war.  A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.  This is a good plan, too many have died to continue down a path that has proven to inflame the situation and not make anything better.</description>
