[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?

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!!!

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