Arafat use to do the same thing, and the mafia did the same thing intimidate and silence the people by FORCE. I guess for us to control 25 million angry people with 120 thousand soldiers is a mathematical impossibility. The sooner that we recognize that the better it is for our soldiers.

Every town and province that is under control and is peaceful, gets the bennies. All other towns that don't toe the line and where they will do nothing to help themselves or the soldiers, THEY GET NOTHING. No electricity, no water, no food handouts, no nuttin. Let's see how those residents tolerate seeing their peaceful neighbors get the goodies while they suffer in compliance with our enemies. Leave the cell lines available for tips. Give them code words for picking up rewards at a later date.

25 million angry people? Where do you get your info, cnn? Everybody that I know who has been there or is there says that the vast majority, except for a few hotspots in the sunni triangle, of the country is relatively stable. It also sounds like the tactics used in gang areas in America. I guess we should pull out all of the cops from there too.
