Reply #44: Make them fight each other so they're not fighting us?

[Ian David]

I mean, we're fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here, right?

Why not add, "As long as they're fighting each other, they're not fighting us?"

The smartest thing for the Iraqis to do would be to call a truce and stop fighting one another.

And then, stop fighting us.

Allow Bush to declare victory and start withdrawing troops.

And then, just as the last C-130 clears the runway, have themselves the bloodiest civil war the middle east has ever seen, decimating or capturing every American-owned asset in the process.

Think about what happened in Cuba when Castro took over. All those fancy American-owned hotels and sugar refineries were taken intact.

Let the Americans re-build the infrastructure, and then as soon as the coast is clear, seize it for themselves.
