John,

What total crap. We're not at war in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Egypt.... did we "give" those to AQ? How the F are, say 5000 AG's going to take over the Middle East. Jeez...

The same way Shia crazies took over Iran, or the way AQ pretty much took over Afghanistan. They have a model in place.

The thing about Ayatolahs in Iran is that their appeal is limited to Shia. AQ is Sunni, so is Kuwait, Emirates, Saudi Arabia etc. With US capitulation in Iraq and AQ victory, they would have safe harbor from where to conduct their operations and expand - free from the US inteferference due to our capitulation.

What rewarding the Sunni 'US Soldier' killers? Maybe you should start sending money to bin Laden to leave us alone.

Negotiations involving money in form of tribute, ransom or bribe have been used to change outcomes of wars for millenia. Do you not read any history books? It is very "pragmatic" method. I find it humorous that you declared yourself to be a pragmatist and in the very same sentence you rejected a pragmatic method to achieve your goals.

BTW, the money goes to the tribal leaders, not to dispensable foot soldiers or suicide bombers.

There you go again... what an imagination. Can you give me the details on how AQ is going to take over the Middle East?

See above.

Joe
