If I was a commander - i'd just capture the prisoners - then 'accidentally' tell their enemies (shiites, sunnies) where they are. And look the other way when they get kidnapped at night to be taken somewhere and beheaded.
Best way to win wars, is let the two sides kill each other. Why do all the work when they'll do it for you??
"Enemy of my enemy is my friend".
If I was Rumsfeld, i'd just pay Mehdi army to go kill the other bad guys. I bet all those insurgents could easily be paid off and under our control. Religion means bullshit to fancy plasma tv's, pizzas, food for their families, dvds, nice clothes and other bullshit. Give their leader a Ferrari, fuck. He'll never touch a us soldier again.
Didn't we learn ANYHING from the pilgrims and how they won over militant indians when they landed??? (but oh wait, I forgot. There's NO MONEY in winning wars quickly).
p.s.: I bet you retards who voted for the war - didn't even realize that Saddam could've been BOUGHT. And we could've saved $1T and 4,000 lives. But wait, once again there's no money for defense contracts. Goddamit, I gotta stop fucking thinking like that.
