This is the way that it is supposed to be done, period. The enemy does not take prisoners, I don't think that we should either. SPARE NO QUATER works. We have to win at any cost.

Hmmmm... Let's go and kill the foreign terrorists...

Guess what, since the U.S. has invaded their country, it is the U.S. that are the foreigners.

The U.S. should go after and destroy Al Qaeda, who, contrary to the Cheney-line, were not in Iraq.

Why did the U.S. stop short of destroying Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and divert to Iraq? That diversion had nothing to do -- if you look at the facts -- with the terrorists of Al Qaeda and their supporters (if you want to extend your aggression beyond the terrorists that have attacked the U.S. and its interests abroad).

It may feel good to shout, 'Yay! Kill them all!' You may feel good venting your anger at 'foreigners.' But such aggression simply, and only will result in more terrorists acts against us.

Thank you very much for playing.

when you declare war on a country and invade it the opposition are not terrorists but resistance fighters and hold more legitimacy in the eyes of international law than america who has gone against the will of the un and the world.
unfortunately the rest of the world views america as the terrorists now

Bring everyone from every side to the table to try and reach agreement on at least one thing - to stop killing. Surely, that is the way forward. One small step at a time.

This is why the fighters are called terrorist, they refuse to join the political process of their country! Their goal is to kill, kill and kill.

Everyone crying, don't send more troops. We need 100,000 or whatever it
takes. Go door to door every home and building and dis-arm everyone.

Agree~knock on every door! Ignore the stupid resolution-issuing handwringers within the circle of political demogogues. Doesn't everyone realize the Vietnam war was lost in Washington by MacNamara and his ilk?
Where is our National stamina and pride?

Perhaps all of you missed the very important statement in the article that,

'Around 100 detainees are not Iraqis, but are from Yemen, Algeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan,' a police spokesman had earlier said.

There were only 130 that were arrested. Do the math. These aren't citizens of Iraq. These are insurgents. Terrorists trying to create unrest so that they can have a safe haven to continue planning bigger and better attacks. The same safe haven they had under Saddam Hussein.

If all it took for these people to like Americans was for them to get to know us than why did 19 men live in this country for weeks, even years, then board 4 aircraft and kill themselves and over 2,000 Americans? They were living here among us.

And as for peaceful coexistence. Has there even been such a thing in the Middle East in recent history?

this is how the american empire will collapse fighting unjust wars killing millions of innocents,the americans will never achieve control of the oil and the spiralling costs of fighting on two fronts will eventually bring them to their knees the same way the soviet union collapsed.The boot will eventually end up on the other foot and it will be payback time for the people who have been oppressed for so long

Now 160, i thought it was 300 killed. Illustrates the fog of war. They are resistance fighters regardless of their political affiliation. Wait ot this summer there will be renewed violence in Afghanistan, which tends to petter out during allowing the insurgents to reorganise and recruit. The 'surge' is an illusation consider the US hd 160,000 during January 2005 election, which did not destroy insurgency. The way i see it is the US is gonna considerable damage the Sunni aspect of the resistance but fail to deal specifically with the Mehdi army. Whats the phrase they have been saying in Washington 'The war is over and Iran has won'

Well Saddam received his payback - from his own people. Was he not an oppressor? At least the people in Iraq have the beginnings of democracy - a government, voted in by the people. Without an invasion Saddam would still have be in power and thousands of people without hope and living under extreme oppression.

Iraq has a democratically elected government. These are irqi soldiers killing Iraqi insurgents.

The USA? All we did was help someone free themselves. They can now go to the polls, pick their leaders and have a say. Except for the scum that wants to enslave them, they are freer than they've ever been.

Who's on who's side?

' They are resistance fighters regardless of their political affiliation '
Adolf Hitler was a Freedom Fighter fighting against The Great Satan . Millions agreed and Millions still agree , Hitler was Fair and Just .
The vast majority of killing in Iraq is Iraqis killing Iraqis , by anyones estimate . Resistance to what ? Fighting against what ?

Iraq is no different than the rest of the Planet , no one is different , if you have ever read a history book or looked inside an Encyclopedia you would know this .
What is wrong with the world ? Look in the mirror . It is You and Me .

Duly noted, Jose. Not from Iran? Holey Dooley!

But will it make a difference? Not to us Americans. We'll bomb Iran flat anyway, and leave another mass of dirty DU footprints on that land, also.

We deserve a bloodied nose for our anti-social behavior -- Dems included for being no better by not impeaching W.

Remember what Putin said about invading Iraq, 'Not a good idea.' :o)

So glad Iran has a few defensive weapons.

Yeah, like when they went to war with Iraq... Their main 'defensive weapon' was human waves of teenage boys.
