No, because the politicians, once again, are trying to manage this war. When it comes to war, politicians should give the Armed Forces their end result orders (ie; kill em all) and let the Armed Forces do that in whatever fashion they see fit.

So far in the War on Terror we've seen the politicians get squeamish on:

Civilian casualties (it happens, especially when terrorists/enemy hides among civilians)
Prisoners/Detainees
Interrogations
Rules of Engagement
Not destroying Mecca
Not destroying Fallujah

There's always a malcontent on every thread, trying to ruin everybody's groove.

I guess you're it this time.

"So far in the War on Terror we've seen the politicians get squeamish on:"

Perhaps you call it squeamish. I call it doing our best to walk a fine line - battling terror while not completely turning every Islamic country on the face of the planet against us.

Unless of course you are proposing nuking them all and letting God sort them out. There are days I feel like that's the answer. But that's just a feeling, not reality.

Oh hell, sign up anyway. You can shoot the politicians and Lefties when they come to Afghanistan or Iraq.
