No dismembered, snotty nosed tykes.

The press will be showing pictures of "Burned Babies" after we take Iraq, that's for sure. But there is less and less of that in every war we undertake. Remember the predictions from the left about our Taliban campaign, and the real results.

An all out war in Iraq is much different from what we do in killing individual terrorists. During the Afghan campaign, we missed getting one of their top people because Franks' JAG nixed it. After that fiasco, the Admin took the lawyers out of the decision structure.

>>Since they hide within the general population, and don't wear uniforms, it is harder to track them, but we are doing it.
...and you will do it in Iraq. Correct?


Just to belabor what ought to be an obvious point, in Iraq they do wear uniforms; they are called the Republican Guard, the Special Republican Guard (= Saddam's Praetorian Guard), and the Special Security Office (= Saddam's secret police). The conscripts will surrender fast, but these guys may fight.
