Danger Room has a roundup of the post surge scenarios that are available to the Coalition. One major problem: Garton Ash believes that “capacity to intervene” will diminish as Basra increasingly comes under the sway of extremist elements. AlterNet co…

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention, updated throughout the day…so check back often….

The only thing the Middle East understands is resolve.

Funny, that’s the only thing I respect about them. It seems they simply want to win or lose. Why can’t we comply?

…flummoxed with wonderment…

Dude, that gets my vote for descriptive phrase of the freakin’ decade.

Awfully nice of them to admit it. And to the British left’s flagship paper, too.

Well they thought they were among friends and didn’t they would tell on them. The Iraqis and Iranians are new to this information age thing, ya know. As in it’s Iran and Iraq not iRan and iRaq.

P.S. What they need is a good dose of Stargate. That way they’ll want to fight off their parasitic leaders.

I’m getting to the point that I don’t trust anyone in any western government to wake up and smell the coffee. The U.N. is the most corrupt organization since the Holy Roman Empire. All these Borgia Popes that run the west are not asleep at the wheel, they are just plain incompetent.

We cannot…..cannot…use the Reagan model of spending these people into the ground. We either draw a line in the sand that means something or quit and wave the white flag.
No amount of diplomacy or bribery is going to solve this. The only thing the Middle East understands is resolve. The West hasn’t a pint of it.

The U.N. will grovel in the dirt before anyone with a gun that is willing to use it. We won’t use it. Pan-Arabia will. Who cares? Not a single Western government. The U.N. is bought, paid for, and bedded. All that is left is to throw the sheets in the laundry.

All of these muslim terror groups are all the same. Same ass, different hole.

You are correct sir! (although I am trying to rid my minds eye of that disturbing image). It’s the same Jihad the world over. Wake up Western nations!

BTW, all you guys that are just now noticing the preview feature, I wanna know what’chu been imbibing so’s I can adjust my shopping list accordingly.

I’d prefer L.A.W.’s

Not to mention the important determination if the local girls are worth raping.

I knows dats right!

…the U.N. will need time to consider this.

Not to mention the important determination if the local girls are worth raping.

There are personal finance ramifications to consider here.

On another note, Tony737 is absolutely correct. All these jihadist groups are just different sh*t in the same toilet.

p.s the preview button ROCKS!!!

“I was one of the experienced fighters from the Mehdi army to go for training there,” he said. “We learned how to take advantage of an armored vehicle’s weakness, and how to wait and kill the soldiers who try to escape.”

We’re already at war with Iran. When do we take the gloves off? Sure, if we go all out and take care of Iran, and Syria, and Hezbollah, and murderous thugs like Muqtada al-Sadr (and actually Muqtada al-Sadr), they are likely to unleash terror attacks where they can. If we wait until they have a nukes, they will anyway, and they’ll have nukes. I’m wondering how long until Bush pulls the trigger. There sure is justification for a full on war. Allowing our troops to be killed like this is unacceptable. Is there any other way to stop this short of military action in Iran, Syria, maybe Lebanon?

Why invite the UN in when he’s trying to push the U.S. out? Because the UN has been very, very good to Hezbollah….

Why send money to the UN, when we could just send it directly to Hezbolla ?
