"I am thinking the best response would be to withdraw our troops from the city, and establishing a perimeter around it. Our troops should allow nothing to enter the perimeter, and nothing to exit. The perimeter should be large enough where anything that attempts to breach it be destroyed without prejudice or question. Simply explain to these barbarians that if they come within 1/2 mile of the perimeter, they will die."

What a ridiculous idea!

We haven't even been able to establish a secure perimeter around our own bases or Baghdad airport, how pray tell are we to form one around an hostile city of half a million people?

Gee, I am sorry if I offended you with my suggestion. I do believe it would be easier to establish a perimeter on bare ground, outside of the city limits where anyone approaching is visiable from some distance. At that point, you eliminate the everyday type traffic of vehicles and people which may or may not be hostile.

Naturally, at the perimeter I suggested any traffic would be considered hostile and would be destroyed before it would be a serious concern to our beloved troops.
