Thats not what i was getting at. That would never pass..it may not even work. U have to fight a shadow war. U use SOF guys. U don't kill Al Sadr...u send his top guys back to him in pieces. U don't kill the Al queda number 1 by smart bomb...somebody finds him crucified upside down with a FOX news crew right there to film it. U do subtle things like reintroduce flame throwers. U terrorize the Terrorists. The folks who brought down Pablo Escobar did the same thing...Calli cartel guys out G'ed the Mediane(SP) guys..car bombs etc. Corrupt officials disappeare...We know how to do this . We did it during the 80's in South America. U scare the shit outa these bastards and when there is a stand up fight u flatten everything. u work the civilians into such a state of panic evertime there's a fire fight that they turn on ther bad guys. U have to start small..u can't do scorched earth right away. u have to wait until eveybody is terrified. Then when bad guys are brought in..u reward people well..schools..roads..tr ash removal. u find out exactly what people want or need and provide it right away. U keep this idiots guessing and they will crack. U hit them with a carefully orchestrated phys-op plan. Out Guerilla the Guerilla.
That is a very interesting analysis. Except that when you are fighting a jihad, or are a suicide bomber, you expect death.
How do you terrify terrorists when they will blow themselves up and their own peoples to send a message to the oppressors?
Also, since there is such a hatred among some Iraqis, Afghanis against the oppressor. It seems like the more the "coalition" does to stop them, they go back to the basic lines of terror. Look at Abu Garib, that was humiliating shit. Did it stop the terrorist or scare them? No, it just renewed their efforts, hell, they train their terrorists while they are barely out of diapers.
It seems like a never ending cycle. The muslims and jews have been fighting each other for centuries and still no end in sight.
