"If you don't take the battle to them, they will bring it to us, as Bin Laden did on 9/11." So you are saying that if we did not invade Iraq, the Iraqis would have attacked us in a manner similar to the Bin Laden 9/11 attack? Why would the Iraqis have done that?

Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "It would seem your world is filled with hopelessness Carl.. Obviously there is nothing worth trying to achieve... Why not just permanently check out of the net, buddy?? You're just torturing yourself by continuing to permit the world to inflict its pain and agony upon your superior moral intellect." Wow, your logic is amazing! Why don't you just quit with the pointless character attacks and explain how you were so wrong about what an easy occupation this was going to be. Re: "It's up to the Iraqi police to identify and detain everyone who was found on that video footage." You're operating in dreamland. We don't have the guts to go into Fallujah, even to cut our own bodies down, the hell you think the Iraqi police are going to go in? Re: "And of course, I have a feeling that the Marine HUMINT teams in that city are going to use their own special skills at turning these "revelers" and having them lead us to compatriots." More talk from the big talker. Tell me when it's gonna happen. By the way, I was reminded today of the wisdom you were providing us earlier in the occupation when you were claiming that the US occupation of Germany had been similarly bloody. I'll dig up some of your old posts and remind you of them. -- Carl
