This is an excellent plan, and would work but the president does not have the stomach for it...it is an "election" year. This is the new boss, same as the old boss.

[Jeff Head]

As Joanie-f says in post 47 on this thread...the detractors, press and so-called world community of the UN are going to scream and detract anyway. Election year or no...appeasement or no. Might as well do the job right in the midst of their wails.

In the end it will serve him batter as CINC and in the election.

[Jmouse007]

I whole-heartedly agree, unfortunately you and I are not the president's advisors.

[RobFromGa]

Excellent!

I wish at least the part up to the pig fat would happen-- maybe we could threaten to do the pig fat routine, then bow to UN pressure and use salt and French truffle oil instead of pig fat as one small gesture of our wanting to "get along" with world opinion.

The rest is perfect!

Sorry for the typo in my prior. batter = better.

As to the president's advisors...those advising him to show any appeasement or softness in this situations with the butchers of Fallujah or the animals down in Nafja are advising him wrong and are costing American blood where it need not be shed IMHO.

It is shameful, it is a disgrace and it does not send the right messages to our enemies...meaning it will cost yet more blood.

I pray the president will allow this business to be forcefully and justly finished in some manner simlar to post 44, or something that sends an equally firm message to our enemies.

[Jeff Head]

If they don't want the pig fat...then they do not desecrate the bodies of our comrades.

Otherwise, we should make it clear that that is exactly what they are going to get. Black Jack Pershing did something similar as I understand it and a lot of the Jihad thing against him ended.

Just my opinion...but that is something these animals will understand and will deter them in these actions.

Blast them to hell. Cut out the moon god. Who needs the middle man?

[Jeff Head]

See my post 44.

I believe that you have the correct approach - this works for me. Sometimes the Roman method is the best one. People tend to remember it for a long, long time.

[Jeff Head]

Another great thread on the same subject going on. Start HERE and read through it if you are interested.

Lots of comments...Bush should see clearly to do what is needed...he would have tremndous and very active support in so doing. If we continue to negotiate with these animals, we will suffer in this effort proportionate to how long that goes on and to what degree we give in.
