Well I don't get it Unc.

But then I don't understand why we don't just clear a path with air power to any place we want to go in Fallujah or outside.

What do we spend all the money on air power for if we don't use it? I don't get it at all. War isn't a vehicle for distributing humanitarian aid. Marines are for killing people, not providing idiots with a chance to practice their marksmanship.

If they don't want their families killed off or starving they know how to waive a white flag. This "pacification" routine is more insane than starting a war in the first place.

There isn't any humanitarian aid that's going to make Iraqi's like us. ...I don't like it. The longer we take to flatten to make them quit, the more dead bodies are going to be lying around. I don't like it at all.
