Ok ppl I have an idea and alot of you might think it realy insane but listen.
In Iraq, we should have men drive around one city with loud speakers tell all non-combat personel/civilians to evactuate the city give them say 72 hrs. Next bomb the every living **** I mean completly carpet bomb the cities.
Then after all that, the next day, if the guerillas wanna keep going, send in in the marines all infantry clear out every building or if as much as one shot comes from a building shell it to the ground and fight regardless of casualties until every guerilla fighter is dead or captured. do this to one city, and threaten the rest with the same treatment. I can assure you theyll stop. And if they dont i dont know what to tell you they are some extremely fanatic losers.

Don't think that would hold up with the Geneva convention..... You can't just go in and shoot at everything that moves.

It would totally destroy Iraq, I don't agree! We didn't came there to destroy it, but to liberate it
Geneva convention, nobody almost ever respected that , but now we live in civilised world. Yes nobody can go into city/village and kill anything that moves, except of course: terrorists(all kinds, including albanian), neo-nazis, and some tribes in Amason and in central/south Africa.

wasn't that tried at place's like monte cassino and starlingrad in ww2?
bomb the out of every thing, block the roads so that your armour cant move then spend the next few months in static warfare or house to house fighting?
or you could try the somme way constant artillery that couldn't penetrate the under ground areas where many of the germans where housed; that way worked really well
heavy bombing and artillery is real useful but it can also create great defensive positions to; the quicker infantry are on the ground the quicker it should be over, at least that would be the theory. (no offence intended to those in the art, navy and mechanized units)

I say do the evacuation but instead of the carpet bombing, just inspect every house from the borders too the middle of the city. While doing so sweep the enemy into a the middle. When the enemy is in the middle of the city use artillery, then eliminate the rest.

Now that's a great idea!! (tip: change "terrorist" into "freedom fighter" or whatever they call themselves these days...)
