#1 MNF sources said that Operation Quick Strike aimed to surround the gunmen to hit them without allowing them to infiltrate to nearby villages.

Good. Now please, no captures. Find them, and KILL THEM.

#3 Time to cordone off, let the baby ducks, kiddies and the ladies out and then kill every male who won't pledge his allegiance to America with his hand on the Bible!

#5 Phil_ b, the next US soldier that dies because his men let a smiling waving insurgent pass through the dragnet; I'll think of you and your brilliant thoughts on the remedy!! In your case, smn means: Stupidity aMounts to Nothing!

#6 This type of operation needs executing in every target rich town. I hope this not a case where we strike a town and then wait around for 20-50 Marines to die. Every town in Iraq needs to operated on, with no anesthesia.

smn,

What are you talking about? Pres. Bush never ordered all the mosque's to be destroyed and be replaced with church's. Leftists have a problem with the concept of "Freedom of Religion." It is not "Freedom from Religion."

Since, you mentioned the Bible, are you aware of the parable of the seed. To summarize the parable, the seed "Word of God/Jesus" falls on rocks, between thorn bushes, or soil. The seed will fall everywhere but it is up to the individual to choose. Hence, the concept of "Freedom of Religion." Also, dictators (including Leftists) doesn't have right to stop the seed from falling. Hence the concept of "Freedom from Religion."

Yes, you guessed it, it is the "Bible" that promotes the freedom to choose any religion. If this was not true, the Christians and Jews have the the military power to force the whole world into Christianity/Judiasm. Got it!!!

#7 Phil_b, obviously I was being facetious in the second part of my #3 statement, however I am very serious on my intention that the US needs an allegiance 'test' for war capable males. If I were an insurgent and I knew I could escape by dropping my weapon, changing clothes, and mingling into the populus for another day fight; I would go for it!!

#12 Given the concept of taqiyyah, the necessary lie told by Muslims to protect the religion from the infidels, a loyalty test of any sort would not work. The Qur'an demands that they make the sworn oath in order to be able to continue the fight unsuspected.

smn, we don't know you well enough yet to know when you are joking. Please note that some way in your posts (a smiley face will do) so as not to trigger annoyed/angry responses. Thanks!

#13 I hope "smn" was only semi-kidding, and then only about the type of screening process.

How about this:
-1- every male must be vouched for by someone in the town.
-2- the dwelling and family of those doing the vouching is entered into a database
-3- those being vouched FOR are tattooed showing they took the loyalty oath, and WHO EXACTLY vouched for them

Prior to this process beginning we annouce VERY clearly that if one of the vouched-for males is EVER caught of killed on a battlefield fighting against coalition or Iraqi troops, we will return to the village and destroy the dwelling in question and ARREST ALL family members.

There will be LOTS of un-vouched-for males left over. We kill them...period.

#14 IMHO - this operation is a complete waste of time as long as there is sanctuary just across the border in Syria.

What do you think?

#19 smn:

While it is true that the Quran requires the faithful to be deceptive when captured, so as to fight another day, the same Quran also sets the penalty for apostasy as Death, Without Virgins.

So, the answer is simple. when we parole an islamic fighter, we videotape his apostasy, and when needed, we beam the tape over to Al-jizz, or whoever might be the current conduit to Binny and his Jets.

At the very least, the arguments within the islamic mullahcracy will help tear the mullahs asunder within their own ranks.

#20 Hi, Haditha!

Ya'll remember those 14 Marines who were killed last week or so? Well, the Marines have a long tradition of having a long memory...

Ya'll may have heard that "Revenge is a dish best served cold...", right? Well, where the Marines are concerned it oughtta' go,

"Revenge is a dish best served hot, with plenty of lead for extra seasonin'".

Thanks,
LC FOTSGreg
