Why not just change the rules of warfare and quit taking prisoners on the battlefield. Surrender?? Sorry it is fight and die the only option!!!!
Gitmo continues to provide relevant intelligence regarding terror cells and how they are formed and supplied. We do not need to charge them and try them when it is important to obtain intelligence from them. The problem with this war on terror is the kid gloves we are fighting with. In order to placate those who oppose the war we have hamstrung our military.
It is time to get real in Iraq, and allow the new government to impose martial law in those areas where resistance is the highest. Setting curfews and shoot first rules would ensure that the innocents stayed inside and allowed the military to attack and root out the insurgence. It is time to take the gloves off and let our infantry do what they do best, close with the enemy and destroy them.
dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles -Russell Kirk- |
