You have to wonder how much of this idea came from how the D.C. snipers operated.

This might be they guy that killed a friend of ours. I hope that he gets to die.

Time to the **** out!

I dont get the point of this article. What is it's purpose? Our enemy is capable, techincally and tactically? Well, that is pretty obvious and because of a unchanging US strategy and reliance on dead concepts such as 'presence patrols' and the moronic concept of patrolling in the first place we continue to present targets of opportunity to an enemy that isnt fixed.

They own the fight. We are just responding to it.

We should be implementing war proven strategies such as bombing your enemy into submission before you roll up and declare the mission accomplished. An enemy that isnt made to suffer wont admit defeat. Neither will the supporting populace. Bin Laden and those who advocate the annihilation of the US understand that. We meanwhile, are still playing pattycake.

But wow, our soldiers sure look good with all that expensive and unreliable gear. I myself cant count the number of double and triple feeds I have dealt with on an AR15A3 or the lack of knock down in a carbine.

That is a no brainer but polictical generals, military advisors and a public that is too involved in our military has killed our ability to win wars.

When the White House passed a veteran SF commander up for Chief of Staff just because he was known to be brash and outspoken for a candidate who would tow the line, I knew our military had no teeth left.

Winning wars has nothing to do with gaining territory. It has everything to do with closing with and destroying your enemy on a scale that he will never want to raise a rifle in anger again.

Until we get that, this war will drag on.

I do not feel that it is the responsibility of the federal government to come to the aid of victims of disaster. I think each individual has to take the steps to protect themselves. That means when asked to evacuate, they should leave. Homes should be properly insured. And, recovery from the disaster means the person goes back and arranges for things to be repaired and waits in line for service like everyone else. I have lived on the Gulf of Mexico for many years. Never, have I seen such responsibility placed where it should not be placed. The mayor of New Orleans is most responsible for not caring for the citizens of his city.
If truth be know, most of those who stayed did not want to leave for reasons of their own (looting, drugs, etc.). This was clearly demonstrated by the number who fired on the rescuers. The federal government cannot be expected to come to the aid of every person in every disaster. That is not the purpose of the federal government. I would like for the mayor of New Orleans to stand up and say I am responsible. I would like to see the ineffective governor of Louisiana to stand up and say I am responsible. I am angry at Bush for standing up and taking responsibility for something that is not the initial responsibility of the federal government. We have set a precedence which I think we will greatly result in the future.

That's not a act of war that is premiditated murder!! Pure and simple kill the bastard and make his family watch. So his kids think twice about growing up and killing people that were sent to their country to help.

This slim ball has already admitted he his guilty of this terrible crime. I would give him a 5 minute trial, use his admission to declare him guilty and hang him by the neck until dead before the sun goes down. Maybe this would send a nessage to all his crazy friends on how his type will be dealt with when caught and we will catch them all. I would not even incur the cost of feeding him before he is done in.

I'm sure they have killed, but I doubt he's telling the truth about 31 kills.

If we were not there, they would be "here" shooting our citizens. We must prevail.

occupations draw snipers, and propaganda to go with them............

these fanatics deserve to be spattered with pig's blood and dismembered and shot on national tv for everyone to see,this is the face of the enemy.No mercy

I think all those people who has not experienced being displaced should be careful of what they say. Everyone does not fit into all the categories of what you say. Becareful of judgement because you never know what will happen to you. You should ask some of the people that where displaced what can I do for myself and my family to prepare for disasters.A lot of people were caught off guard, but this is a wake up call for us all.

I am totally agree with Juanita's comments. There is not a great number of people would think the way Juanita thought. People always like to blame to someone and never look back what they can do for their own instead waiting someone bring the foods to their mouth. Money do not come from the tree.

So is it the terrorists learning from Muhammed and Malvo, OR did Muhammed and Malvo learn from a terrorist manual??

Napoleon... Your strategy of war will never hold for the longterm. History will show that it never has unless you want to continue with a military presence everywhere you exert your strategy. And if you ever lose, you'll be up for "War Crimes."

I have to agree with Napoleon. "Tough Love" tactics are WAY overdue. Time to get down, get dirty, and get our guys & gals back home! And Juanita...Girl, I think you've posted to the wrong story. We're talkin' 'bout Iraq, not New Orleans!

As bad as it seems. We don't seem to understand what whould have happened if the French, after helping us win the revolutionary war would have chosen to stay and be a policing force and supported a government to their liking. We would have viewed them as occupiers and we would have played the sniper game also.

It angers me that this story is a tragedy which didn't have to happen.

And now what do we do with them?? Though I can sympathize with them, they are our enemy.

It's too bad that they were handed over to us. Now anything we do with them will only validate in the resisters minds that this is a war.

If the local authorities would have handled them and treated them like common murders it would give the whole thing more creedance.

You must be kidding. ABC and Brian Ross reveal their "exclusive" with all the hype and glitter splashed accross the page....the net total of this news item is 150 words and a few photos. The entire Brian Ross page is written at the eighth grade level...I have had it. My next quest is to find an adult level news source. Maybe you folks can go after some sex secrets of Warren Jeffs, multiple partners and threesomes will get some hits on the site...

Alliance forces had to identify these COWARDS - in disguise (hidden weapon position) and then CAPTURE THEM as they moved around like a cockroach amongst the population - just like all the other NO COURAGE insurgents...

I SAY GOOD JOB to the IRAQI MILITARY FORCES - showing again and again their contributions to taking back their land from these sick zealots....

WE MUST DESTROY THE IMAMS - and their hardcore zealot schools that brainwash the innocent YOUNG children to hate any non-muslim.. These brainwashed children themselves become victims - ultimately having no chance for a free and peaceful life - like a pitbull trainted to kill..

PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH... the evil spiritual leaders that inseminate them all with his evil seed!!!

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!!

Right on Juanita! I could not have said it better myself!!
