Ralph Peters at the NY Post: For now, Maliki and his pals are using our troops to buy time while they pocket our money, amass power and build up arms. But they've written us off for the long term.Exactly correct, but I didn’t know Improbulus Maximus worked at the NY Post. It is Improbable to the max that we will. Because we didn’t the first time, when we should have.Does that mean we should leave?
Not yet. Iraq deserves one last chance. But to make that chance even remotely viable, we'll have to take desperate measures. We need to fight. And accept the consequences.
The first thing we need to do is to kill Muqtada al-Sadr, who's now a greater threat to our strategic goals than Osama bin Laden.
We should've killed him in 2003, when he first embarked upon his murder campaign. But our leaders were afraid of provoking riots.
Back then, the tumult might've lasted a week. Now we'll face a serious uprising. So be it. When you put off paying war's price, you pay compound interest in blood.
We must kill - not capture - Muqtada, then kill every gunman who comes out in the streets to avenge him.

When I think Improbulus Maximus' work, I think of a cross between Jaysson Blair and Divine.

lefturd trolls, who frequently change their handles but never their
stupidity, and are thus fairly easily recognized. The winner of each

As a matter of fact didn't General Jack Pershing write the book on this when he defeated the Islamist terrorists in the Philipenes? (my knowledge of your country's history is limited)

Negotiation got me out of a speeding ticket once, but I was in the wrong, admitted it, and said I was sorry. My argument amounted to 'Oops! Will this affect my insurance?'
My state of mind was based on the certain knowledge that any other behavior than polite behavior, would just get me in more trouble. The officer knew I meant it, and that I knew who had the power. Don't dis the cops in a small town.
Anyway, if we are going to be negotiating, we need to be the strong, "Don't F' with me!" type. Not the type the Dems would make us be.
Can you picture Nancy Pelosi, holding a jar of vaseline? "Oooh! Negotiate with me, you big fierce Jihadi prince!"
Shall we all join Rusty in his 'prayer' session?
Y'know I really guess I have to stop calling myself an independent. Like I'll ever, ever see a third party that can really win. If the Repubs will kill Jihadi's and somehow stop the left, I'll go straight ticket for them.
And when I read myself, why do I seem so mean?
USA all the way!

your example proves what I've said before-- that negotiation is useful among friends or would be friends, but useless amongst enemies. Amongst enemies negotiation is just a tactic to get the upper hand.
