Re: What doesn't work against Israel etc
Okay, the imported suicide yahoos have shown up, and they can catch up with us if we sit still for long enough in an urban area.
What makes you think they're imported? Are we still following the party line that they love us over there, and only the intimidation of regime thugs prevents them from showing it? You really think the kind of people who have made suicidal attacks on the supply convoys wouldn't have the stomach for the carbomb (or human bomb) gambit? As for "sitting still for long enough in an urban area." that's just what an occupation will entail. Ah, historic Baghdad! City of history, city of mystery, city of checkpoints, razorwire, barriers and bombs! Why between us, our garrison troops and the sullen populace can make of it a paradise on earth, another West Bank! And with vigorous proactive tactics we can keep this vile ploy from taking out more than a dozen or so of our Brave Boys each week while simultaneously winning the locals' hearts and minds. Look how well it's worked with the Palestinians!
If it looks like a duck, and walks like a duck, and sounds like a duck--but wait, it doesn't sound quite like a duck--more like "quag, quag!"
cordially,
