crush the underground facilites and trenchworks

I had known we took care of trenchworks over there with bulldozers, but not that we used the Fuel Bomb.

I think my fear is that the first "burned baby" that shows up on TV will mean an end to serious efforts on our part.

The Israeli's went after the Munich terrorists on an individual basis, and got them all. They killed a couple of innocent people doing it, and caught hell about it.

The "Phoenix" program in Vietnam was used to kill VC in the south, without trial, as they were found. It is still reviled in this country today, but now is known to have been very effective.

We executed spies using military Tribunals during WWII, and that is being noised about as something to be done today.

Bush made a comment that fits this subject in his address last night. He said that secret ops would be carried out that would never be revealed.

The type of thing we don't need is revealed by a comment made during the planning of the attempt to free the hostages in Iran that failed. One of the White house aides, said, after hearing that the rescuers were going to kill the guards, " Can't you just shoot them in the leg instead?"
