Our strategy in Iraq
Current Affairs 12/07/2003 |You have to understand the Arab mind. The only thing they understand is force — force, pride and saving face.
— Captain Todd Brown
With a heavy dose of fear and violence, and a lot of money for projects, I think we can convince these people that we are here to help them.
— Lieutenant Colonel Nathan Sassaman
Great. Racism and beating the Iraqis into submission. There’s a winning tactic for you.

On a completely unrelated note - did you ever go see the Rocky Horror Picture Show that was advertised when Denton and I visited?

Unfortunately not.
Ran out of expendable “fun” money when it was here. Was definitely a bummer, but…well, there will probably be other chances somewhere down the line.

Hey mich, how you doing?? man i love reading your stories man!! about IRAQ, AL QUEDA, man they all have connections even with FARC of colombia who got the money and power to help them fight the U.S while they export drugs and sell to get more money…Colombia is going to be more powerful if the US doesn`t do anything about it. They have to enter and finish the job.
