Here's a thread you should read.

Why Arabs lose wars

[harpu]

"The dumbasses are going to Iraq to commit suicide by Marine.." Hooooorah!

It's BAD man.

Incorrect. This is an opportunity for the bad guys to show themselves. I would not give too much weight to what you hear from the press for a couple of days. Things will be cleaned up.I figure there may be 20,000 in there at least, and they are very heavily armed.

You and what intel source tells you that? Even if it was every stinking sand-ni##er in Fallujah, it's still no match against US Forces.480 killed, however many were civilians.

Wake up, they are all civilians. There is no Iraqi military at the moment.Sun Tsu

Most of these terrorist thugs can't even read. Sun Tsu is required reading for anyone in the Marine Corps. G-5 and above.I am sure they are taking heavy losses. About 15% are not that religious though - careful with labels.

I don't buy into your political correctness. The labels I use accurately describe the enemy. It is political correctness and touchy-feely, hurt no one's feelings bull crap that makes people lose sight to what America is fighting. I don't care that 15% of not that religious. They are Muslim. If that doesn't mean anything to you then perhaps you are willing to submit to Allah as well.

You simplify warfare. 20 million Soviets gave their lives and that *sacrifice* was crucial.

I don't simplify warfare. I was describing just one aspect about the enemy and it happens to pretain to warfare. You didn't understand my point. These terrorists want to give their lives. The Soviets didn't want to give their lives. Their lives were taken in battle against Germany. There is a difference in wanting to give your life and the enemy taking your life. I am positive that the Soviets didn't want to die. Either these scum want to die, or they are too ignorant to understand that they will die. Either way, if they keep it up, they will die. By the way, the way I described that, "No war has ever been won by dying for one’s country. ..." is a quote from Gen. George S. Patton, Jr. Considering he was one of the finest generals in history, I think you have an up hill battle in convincing me or anyone else that you know jack about warfare.

[Toskrin]

Do the journalists recycle this article every year? I read the exact same story in 2001 about Afghanistan, and last year at this time about Iraq.

Ho hum.

[dalebert]

Iraqi exiles? They mean terrorist don't they?

[A CA Guy]

In time they have to be dealt with if they don't try to arrest terrorist in plain view.
