You certainly have a knack James for pulling out some of the most longwinded talking points and you sure didn't hesitate on this!

I'll get back to you tommorow when I've digested this. Just give us some time, ok? Not all of us went to the Evelyn Wood speed reading school.

asset. targeted assasinations work, even if people step into their place. eventually al-qaeda will be driven from iraq, just like the PLO was driven from Lebanon. These groups continue without their leaders, but usually become more splintered and directionless after these killings --- internal stuff like sucession battles helps.

I promised not to start war and political debates here but this one just can't be resisted. But don't worry, I promise I'll behave on this one!

Yes, it's great that this pile of python puss has been elimated. But now we have a question of whether this will just strengthen the insurgency with maryrdom or hopefully weaken them?

And that's really what I'm opening the debate for here. I'll throw a few shots here and there, but keep in mind, I have reservations now about what's going on over there too.

So let's hear it!
