Oh you just understand then... Opec and US Oil firms have always been allied but it is OPEC that play the "bad" guys because the US Oil firms can't just tell their own consumers we want high oil price ! A crisis in the region can only inflate price, what would you expect huh ? And remember also what I said: now all the regions have become totally islamic: Iran now Irak have fallen. Why did they put a dictator like Saddam instead of a true democrat huh ? Instead now we have a muslim gov in Irak and that will turn into a muslim dictature like Iran. It's Saudi Arabia that pushed to do the first War against Irak and that has been proved by their lobbying at Gov and Congress (I have already posted the link, will repost it later) and I doubt also that it is not them that pushed also for the second war because their interest is to have all the regions under control of Islamist puppets. And that's also the interest of US Oil producers because crisis inflate oil and so their profits. Of course it's not the interest of the whole world.
The majority of attacks, around 80%, occur in an area of which Fallujah is part of and where Saddam had and still has intense loyalty. A recent poll showed that in all of Iraq, 17% of the population thought it was acceptable to attack coalition forces; in Fallujah the number was 74%. Obviously the rebels have set up base in Fallujah and the near environs. Our military has to stop pussy-footing around and hammer the shit out of Fallujah and go door-to-door if necessary and wipe out these bastards.
I totally agree....eventually this will be seen as one of our biggest blunders...mark my words...to think we are going to hand over the keys to what may perhaps end up much worse than before ( after all those lives and billions of dollars )..Unless there is something strategical about us being there I may have overlooked...Pabst or Triple A ...Please,remind me again what the fuck we are doing there??
There's a simple solution to this - threaten to put Saddam back in power, unless the attacks on coalition civilians stop.
It's nice in theory but a little politically foolish, wouldn't you say? If most of the Iraqis will support change, then eventualy they will be able to weed out thier own bad seeds.
Why is it "politically foolish" to clean up Fallujah and the other rebel hotbeds? Seems to me it would be operational suicide if we allow this kind of crap to continue. Whether you agree with our invasion or not, if we wish to create as stable a situation as possible we have to eliminate the Saddam loyalists wherever they hide. As far as the Iraqis eventually being able to weed out their own bad seeds, they do not yet have the ability to do so on their own. And if and when they do have the ability, the rebellion may have grown and spread to such a degree that they will not be able to weed out the rebels without trememdous difficulty and further loss of life. Maybe that's another faux pas on our side - not training enough Iraqis in time to take over these kind of matters. The US has to nip these rebels in the bud. Now.

It isn't foolish to clean them up. I though you meant go in there and do wholesale arrests, begin multiple gun battles, send in helicopter gunships, basically blow the shit out of these primal turds. Get the Shiites to go in and blow them to smithereens, maybe. These are Saddam's people. They are shit out of luck now.
All the talk from the politicians and all the talk I am hearing from the people is very scary. Just like it was when Vietnam was raging. Folks, we done "beat the hell out of 'em." Now our guys are just "sitting ducks." Damn, unbelievable. Let's bring 'em home. SURELY Iraq is not an "emminent" threat to the U.S. now, no?
