Oh, I get your plan. Kill 'em all! The flaw is in invading a Muslim country that didn't attack us and the "collateral damage" that creates three terrorists for every one we kill. You and the chimp are the ones that "don't get it"! Every American soldier that dies in Iraq is as wasted as the 58,000 that died in Vietnam for nothing but hubris. We left Vietnam, the dominoes didn't fall, the communists didn't invade California, and we realized what a huge, stupid mistake it had been. Perhaps if Bush had gone instead of being drunk most of that time, he'd have known that.

The American people are rapidly abandoning the chimp and the Iraq misadventure. Either he'll pull us out or we'll make Congress do it.

What's happening in France isn't part of the "war on terror", even though you'd like it to be. It's more like the riots in the wake of the Rodney King videotaped stomping here, with much the same triggering event, two Muslim youths stomped - no "terrorists" needed! I'm sure the French will squash them down until next time, just as we did. Their police can be quite brutal.
