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.

P.S. ... this from The Federalist: "Saddam Hussein's lawyer, a Frenchman naturally, says his client is 'has been exhibited like an animal at a fair.' Which brings up two questions: 1. Why are we treating him so well? 2. Are we charging admission?" --Lyn Nofziger

In the first place, the Sunni Triangle is generally anti-American. According to the latest poll, only 30% of Iraqi Arabs view US troops favorably - compared to nearly 90% of Kurds - and it doesn't even take the Sunni-Shia disparity into account, so it's safe to say the majority of Sunni Arabs oppose our military presence. A significant minority of Sunnis - I'd say 25-30 percent - approve of anti-coalition attacks even if they don't participate in them. Level Fallujah and there's a pretty large pool of new insurgents for our enemies to draw from.

If, as I personally suspect, this whole thing was organized by foreign Islamists collaborating with foreign Arab media (how on earth were TV cameras so conveniently nearby when the attack took place?), their probable intent in such a highly-publicized atrocity was to provoke us into taking just the kind of action you propose. As far as they're concerned, their struggle's pretty dull without US troops causing collateral damage to Iraqi civilians in destroying them.

Fallujah's population is 250,000. I'd say at most 5% is involved in attacks in any fashion. The reason it's a particularly troublesome spot - even in comparison to other places in the Sunni triangle - is the population is particularly anti-American after last April's shooting incident.

Genocide is painless..it brings on many changes...
For some reason the "Mash" theme song came to mind.

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.

Good post. I have only one suggestion. Don't drop the filthy terrorists at Harvard or Berkley, since they would be on our precious American soil.

Ship those sympathizers from the two respective schools above to live with the terrorists in Fallujah. And then let the chips fall where they may.

Looks like we got a pretty good ID on the A$$holes who did that, I want to see them strung up the same exact way.

or in an exercise of bipartisan outreach, Bush could ask Kerry to re-up some of those VietNam vets he so famously testified to the Congress about back in 71.

Track down the ones in the pictures and hang them from the bridge. No, it's not the easiest way, but it is sure as heck the best way to send the right message sharply targeted.

[NewRomeTacitus]

Never miss the opportunity for a really good joke at the enemy's expense, especially an enemy as deluded as this one.

After the smoke starts to clear the second plane should come along and drop the warning pamphlets.

This would send the message that we are normally the most civilized people on the planet. This time, though, we use the tools of civility to mock them. Write it all off to logistical errors and everything's covered.
