Time to Clean House...

I will keep this brief...

It seems to me that the war in Iraq has its share of problems in the chaotic aftermath of Saddam's fall. Not that I never supported it. I did from the start and I still do today. I believe it was and is a neccessary war, and the terrorism that is going on there today proves it so.

I am not going to bother getting into the details as to why this war was just and neccessary, and how it has produced more good than bad, because I think it all has been said already. Just about every point had been covered by several well known commentators as well as nobodys like myself and I am tired of repeating them over and over to blinded, closed minds on the left of center.

The fact is we're there now and there is no looking back and what we need to do is focus on rational solutions to get from where we stand NOW rather than bickering about how we got there.

The war is a success, but it would be a lot more successful if it were not for one thing. Fullujah. Most of the death and destruction that the leftwing Bush-bashers shamelessly use for political advancing is coming out of that one crappy little town.

...It's time to clean house.

Already the media is comparing this to what happened in Somalia. The only difference is in a post 9/11 world, we are not going to run away this time. I don't know what they will do, but I do know what I think would be the best thing to do. Clean house.

Roll a bunch of tanks into the outer circles of Fullujah. Drop pamphlets telling all residents to leave the town within 24 hours and as they approach our tanks, approach with hands up, and one by one have each person. Man, woman, and child, strip naked while our soldiers stand a safe distance away. And like the old sayings in the movies go... "One false move and you're dead".

Once the people are visually unarmed, they then get told to approach a waiting group of U.S. soldiers who then lead them into a temporary camp where they will be clothed and fed and not able to harm anyone.

After the 24 hour deadline is over....... we clean house.

Drop the daisy cutter.

Drop two of them if need be.

Will the international community be outraged? Maybe, but screw them. I know it sounds like rhetoric, but it's true. The only way to peace is through strength. These people do not know negotiations. This won't be another Somalia. If anything, this reminds me more of what happened to those two Jewish guys in that Palestinian jailhouse back around the time of Arafat's "antifada". Today, the Jews are fighting back with gusto... they are cleaning house.

Some people, even conservatives, say we can go into Fullujah and go to door to door searching weapons. I say no. I say we don't need to risk anymore American lives. I say we turn the town of Fullujah into rubble. I say we get serious.

May God bless the families of all those killed in battle to protect my sorry ass back here.

Instead of starting with the daisy Cutters, try the following (after following the earlier steps in your plan):

Ring the city with M109 self-propelled artillery as well as heavy mortars and MLRS batteries.

Then, begin pounding the city at a steady pace for days much like the old days of siege warfare.

After days of shelling, send in the B-52s loaded with 750lb bombs and turn the rubble into a fine powder.

After this, we can begin rebuilding the city from scratch. The first nine streets will be named after the civilian contractors...

[PatriotEdition]

You know, that might even be a better idea. We are under no obligation to appease these people, but then again, it wouldn't hurt.

Thank you, and God bless you!

After this, we can begin rebuilding the city from scratch.

I have no more money for Iraq or it's people. Please, feel free to donate everything you have to rebuild their fair city.

[Filibuster_60]

Sure let's go ahead! To root out a few hundred terrorists, are you proposing that we effectively create another 10,000? You start with one crappy little town and before long it'll be a crappy little region. Just remember: only a tiny percentage of the Iraqi population there is actually engaged in armed opposition to the coalition - the cells conducting these attacks are probably 20-30 members. The vast majority of Iraqis are getting on with life but, at least in the Sunni sector, don't like us and never will. What should we do? I think the better question is, what can we do without further complicating the task of pacifying Iraq?

[Quix]

I sadly but strongly agree.

We need to make a DRAMATIC AND VIVID AND THOROUGH STATEMENT

IN ACTIONS, VS WORDS.

[Army Air Corps]

I know what you mean, mate. Believe me, I know.

[PatriotEdition]

Filibuster, the whole thing is that most of Iraq IS pacified... Most of the violence seems to be in this one town - they even said it themselves that it's the "graveyard for Americans". As Army Air Corps pointed out, we can rebuild and name the streets after the Iraqis who help.

Most of Iraq WANTS a peace and a democracy. The people who populate Fullujah are the enemies of not only U.S., but the majority of Iraq.

Peace through strength.

And like I said. This has nothing to do with whether you supported the war or not in the first place. This has to do with what is now and where we are now and how we can get out of this with the least amount of U.S. casualities as possible.

God bless our troops!! Always!!!

I posted this on another thread, but I'll post it again here.

You tell the people of Falluja that the 4 civilians who were killed were from the company that provides security for the food convoys to Falluja. You tell them that the company has refused to provide security anymore because of what happened and that the drivers of the food convoys have refused to drive without security, therefore, there will be no more food convoys until the people of Falluja turn over the men responsible. PERIOD.

[McGavin999]

Let me add to that. You also tell them that the investors who were scoping out the town to open various plants and provide jobs have informed the Marines that they are now planning on moving to other parts of Iraq unless the security conditions improve. Therefore, all the jobs that were to be made available to Falluja are being relocated to the Kurdish and Shiite areas instead. This can be changed, but only if it happens immediately.

ROTFL!

I'm a 47 year old divorced mother of two adult children, from BFE Ohio. I jump up on the nearest chair when I see a mouse. But this picture was posted earlier, and I think it needs to be seen by all Americans. Enough is enough. If the military would take me, I'd be over there in a heartbeat right now, fighting these animals.

[NaughtiusMaximus]

Any method or system for destroying Fullujah as soon as possible is just ducky by me. Your humanitarian plan for sparing the inhabitants brings tears to my eyes just a little bit. But once we have these sandhogs on our hands what are we going to do with them? My fellow poster has a point, tempting as it may be, you just can't stripsearch 10,000 Shiites and then run their sorry butts into the desert. My proposal is this: we divide the lice-ridden camel jockeys into four groups. One group gets air dropped in the centers of Paris and Berlin respectively. The other groups, to show that we inflict no plague on others that we won't accept for ourselves, get airlifted to Berkeley and Harvard. The lucky campuses are then declared official sanddoggy refuges. Any Fallujah-ite caught off-campus gets shot on sight.

[Iconoclast2]

How about just killing the ones who were bragging to the media, for starters?

[PatriotEdition]

OMG.... all day Fox News was saying how the images were so horrific they didnt even want to show them.

This is just HORRID... omg - ,.... this NEEDS TO BE SEEN!!!!

THANK YOU!

[PatriotEdition]

HOW ABOUT we find the son of a _____ in that photo and drop his ass from the torch of Lady Libery and put it on world wide TV!

THAT to me wouldn't even be enough! Blow that frigging town to smitherines!!! The hell with all of them!

And the hell with the liberals who politicise this. My God that photo made me sick!!!!

I say "This is war and if you're fighting us we're going to fight back." I'd round up the women and the children take them out of town and tell the men to either surrender or die take them to a POW camp, interrogate them and shoot the bad guys and I wouldn't be averse to them razing the whole town.

[Libertina]

BUMP for your suggestion.
Condolences for the families of those fallen...
