This bloody past suggests to us that enemies cease hostilities only when they are battered enough to acknowledge that there is no hope in victory - and thus that further resistance means only useless sacrifice.

Any time the Western way of war can be unleashed on an enemy stupid enough to enter its arena, victory is assured.

Resistance is useless.

The gradual decline of a society is often a self-induced process of trying to meet ever-expanding appetites, rather than a physical inability to produce past levels of food and fuel, or to maintain adequate defense.

This was a huge victory. I hope this is the turning point in the season for us.

We don't kill Iraqis - our hands do not kill Iraqis. But we target only the occupier with all the means of resistance.
