		<description><![CDATA[The Marines went out on joint patrol in Anbar with Iraqis.  They were embedded in small combat outposts.  It kind of belies the left&#039;s narratives that our combat troops were running amok among the population.  An American corporal cannot turn around to Cpl Ahmed &amp; say let&#039;s run into town and rape some local women. But the left would have us believe just that.

Joint patrols like we had in Iraq show that we are not occupiers and there isn&#039;t some killing and raping spree going on as alleged by the left.

When you are jointly patrolling it is very hard for some group (or Kerry) like the NYT (NY Slimes) to accusing you of killing and raping women and children in a manner of Genghis Khan.

I looked at the the number of people convicted and executed for rape or murder in the wake of D Day and it is staggering.  While we should have no murders or rapes committed by our troops the numbers committed by today&#039;s troops were not much different or less than in previous wars.

The Habr Gidr clan hated us for rocketing their clan meeting where we though Aidid and some of his Lieutenants would be.  I am not sorry.  This is the same bunch that purposefully caused the  starvation killing hundreds of not thousands of people of other clans unless they bowed to the will of the Habr Gidr.  When you do things like that violence results.
Drakken

Not saying that if we had not hit the Habr Gidr clan meeting that they would not have gone after us anyway.

***

I do believe that without a show of force and willingness to use force that a Hearts and minds campaign will not work in the Arab or Muslim world.

Clinton pulling out and Tanks not being provided in the 1st place were very bad decision on the part of Washington.  I&#039;ll include general;s in the term Washington because when they reach that rank general become very political.

I would just as soon as stay out of the Middle east after we get our own energy sources.  Let them be like rats in a pit. But to do that we need to contain them.  That is no immigration.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Iraqis (Sunni and Shia) hate Americans period. Aiding them is a huge mistake - as big as Bush&#039;s thinking that he could reform Arab thugs. 


Islamofascism must be isolated and anytime it attempts to expand - DESTROYED.


Nothing short of that will work]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hearts and Mind campaign works.  It can&#039;t work alone.

In Ramadi Al Qaeda took over a hospital and put strong points around it. They used it for their fighters and not for the locals.

When Al Qaeda blew up the souk (open air shopping market), the victims were taken to the American camp at Ramadi for triage and surgery.

We consistently treated the people well whereas Al Qaeda did not.

But again a Hearts and Mind campaign without military backing is a farce.  It is simply an NGO that gets robbed at gunpoints with its&#039; workers kidnapped.  Such a farce happened once upon a time in Somalia in 1991.]]></description>
