Time to show the Iraqis who keeps the peace. Pull Coalition Forces north into Kudistan and south into Kuwait. Then let the Sunni/Shiite love fest begin. Neither side has the self-control to resist an opportunity that would allow the settling of grievances going back a thousand years (it's a succession war - Mohammed died without a succession plan).

If Iran or Syria attempt to intervene...that's what American air power is for.

And please, let's not have anyone acting surprised that the Israeli/Hisbollah fights are really part of this. How blind can you be?

Drawing Syria and Iran openly into the fray only makes plain what is already occurring surreptitiosly. This is a clash of civilizations.

The Islamics want to drag us back into their 7th century culture because the other outcome - that they join the 21st century global economy - is not possible. Aside from oil, what can they offer? We won't be importing Saudi made cars or Iranian made microwave ovens anytime soon.

Their brigand culture spawned a violent religion and stifled their cultural growth. It requires that we stomp them the same way we stomped the German Nazis and Japanese Imperialists, crushing their ablility to make war, and forcing them to remake their culture from the ashes of defeat.

If anyone has a better suggestion. I await your reply.

I like this plan.

I think Saddam was the right guy for the job. Hindsight is 20/20.

Can't disagree -- your assessment, tho' sad, is approximately correct.

It sounds just like Murtha's Cut-and-Run plan.
