[WatchOutForSnakes]

I just heard a reporter say that a couple of soldiers have complained that they are not being allowed to use the force necessary to take out Iraqi troops because they are firing from residential areas and the top brass won't let them take them out for fear of civilian casualties. This has got to stop. We will be hated whether we kill 1 civilian or 10,000. It makes no difference. I have wondered for a long time whether our politicians have the will to win any more wars. I may be getting my answer. We will win but how many Americans will die because we are restraining them?

I'd like all these callous puffed-chests around here who so casually dismiss our dead and cheer the good PR of spared civilans in Iraq to try to win a fight while being told to not use full force. Our military is having their hands tied by political concerns. If this was going to be the strategy, we shouldn't have bothered doing this.

This has got to stop.

Yes, this has got to stop. Do our people really think that if we play nice, those rabid dogs who hate us will hate us a little bit less? Kill 'em all, and let God sort 'em out! They're NEVER going to stop hating us, but at least we can make them FEAR us. We have the power to wipe them out, and we're fighting with one hand tied behind our back and letting them poke us in the eye and grow bolder every time. Enough!
