*duh*

So, tell us again that Americans are the "occupiers" of Iraq. Our U.S. troops are preventing an occupation by terrorists!

Looks like we're going to use overwhelming force to mop up the remaining foreign terrorists in each Iraqi city.

Kerry applauds the coalition that the Iraqi terrorists have developed.

Another way to look at it is that we don't have to invade Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia to kill their bad guys.
It's so much more energy efficient, I'm surprised the greenies don't support this.

Once again this shows the big picture.

We will not need to invade Syria, Iran, or Saudi if they keep sending their special forces people into Iraq to get killed.

A question is trying to format in my head. Why did the foreign terrorists leave Iraq alone when Saddam was in power? Unless they were brothers in blood with Saddam?

A truly brilliant strategy by Bush which he gets little credit for. Iraq is a four-fer.
1. Get rid of Saddam
2. Plant democrat seed in muslim middle east
3. "Encourage" other terrorist leaning countries to give up WMDs, i.e. Libya
4. Magnet to suck in terrorists so we can kill them on foreign soil in one consolidated area.

Brilliant.

You know, I don't put a whole lot of faith in the power of "Moderate" Islam to transform their religion. But I do have some confidence that the supply of inhuman idiots who enjoy killing and maiming innocents and children is limited. Every population has a bell curve of depravity, with the bulk of people being fairly decent, or at least indifferent. What we are doing in Iraq is exterminating the extreme tail end of the violent. If they all want to gather into one place to make the job easier, so much the better.

They should not live long enough to tell us where they came from.

Bush should argue that he is using the "moth to the flame" 'strategery' in Iraq.

Allawi has already said that terrorists are "pouring" into Iraq. Fine. That's just where we want them -- where our (and Iraqi) military power is prepared and equipped to exterminate them -- and where they can't attack our country.

It's like building a bright fire and watching the moths fly into it and die -- rather than destroying the clothes in your closet...

Or at least Saudi. Syria and Iran have active WMD programs that will need to be dealt with.
