		<description>I said it before and I will say it again. If we give these guys a little incentive in a couple enterprises such a factory or rebuilding infrastructure plus a community center, just some thing they can take pride in. This would occupy their minds with good things. Seriously. Anything to stop the insanity. Hell I&#039;ll go over and teach these guys to use drill guns, nail guns, caulking guns, skill saws, mitre saws,saber saws, jack hammers, hammer and chisels, sledge hammers, crow bars. and I&#039;ll even throw in the old sledg-o-matic. Just give them a big old demo job it takes out alot of anger, especially if you do it manually.</description>

		<description>First, the Pentagon has been planning a drawdown ot atround 40,000 troops since 2003 and every few months the Post or the Times roll out that story as if it&#039;s imminent. Pure crap.

You&#039;d think Allah would have caught on to this re-run by now, but he&#039;s too busy slitting his wrists over Suleiman claiming that a fracture of the awakening is coming (as reported by the New Yok Times! It must be true!) while everyone else involved is scratching their heads and saying, &quot;We don&#039;t know what the hell that guy is talking about.&quot;

And now that we&#039;ve finally turned more of the Sunni insurgents against Al- Qaeda, (you remember them - they&#039;re the ones trying to incite a civil war between Sunni and Shiite and are therefore the greatest threat to our success) and are beginning to turn the tide against the most dangerous Mahdi elements Allah is busy slipping his head into a noose hanging from the rafters in his garage because it might result in strengthening the weak Sunnis in the face of Shiite Militias, the Shiite Police, the Shiite Army, and the Shiite Iran. Signs of Afghanistan circa 1989, except that we left Afghanistan entirely, turned it over to Pakistani ISI, and stuck our heads up Clinton&#039;s ego for a decade, but except for those differences it&#039;s &quot;eerily similar&quot;.

Don&#039;t let you&#039;re imminent defeat on the immigration bill ruin you&#039;re Iraq reporting Allah. That&#039;d be a real shame.</description>

P.S. Did we make sure to put in fail-safe devices for if and when they turn them against us?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;outfit Sunnis with weapons, cars, and money&lt;/blockquote&gt;

We need to stop giving them any more jizyah.  This is the same thing we do with &#039;moderate&#039; Islamic countries like Pakistan and Indonesia.  That&#039;s working out great.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;U.S. officials also calculate that underneath the anti-American rhetoric, even Shiite radicals such as cleric Moqtada al-Sadr don’t really want to see a total U.S. pullout, especially while they feel threatened by Sunni insurgents. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Name the &quot;officials.&quot;  So, when Sadr snaps his fingers and wants an anti-American rally and over 300,000 show-up, does this also mean they really aren&#039;t anti-American too?

I have a better idea, send the &quot;US officials&quot; and use them as bait, er the tripwire.</description>

		<description>I hope this doesn&#039;t break down into tribal/warlord chaos, or maybe I do.  I&#039;m not real sure.  Gah! Why does the MidEast have to be such a damn madhouse? 

 I&#039;m not sure whether the answer is to try and make things work with Sunni and Shia, withdraw into Kurdistan and let the Shia and Sunni go to war and try and drag as many MidEast countries in as possible, or a partition, enforced by us or an Int&#039;l force, or something I&#039;ve missed.</description>
