  • A perfect metaphor for the American strategy in fighting terrorism... all force, no finesse. Like using a broadsword to kill a virus.

  • Exactly.

    The tighter we pull our grip, the more they slip through the fingers.

    (If you'll pardon the star wars quote.)

    Also, such displays of force violate insurgency 101. In the face of civilian populations, there should be no force.

  • A boy hit his sister. When his father found out he was furious; took the boy over his knee and swatted his ass. "Dont" smack "ever" smack "hit" smack "your" smack "sister" smack "again! Now go to your room and think about what you learned here."

    We'll continue to ratchet up our military actions until the insurgents realize that militant actions are not the answer.

  • Man, you are working in allegory tonight.

    But I think the Iraqis are the Menendez kids.
