Thats the problem Ozark, you and too many others overlook the fact that oil has brought a lot of money to the region, and has been the answer to many of the ragheads wildest dreams, mobility that will allow them to circumvent the globe in caring out Allah's wishes.

I don't understand why anyone can't see and be extremely concerned that we are in a war, and the enemy is made up completely of guerrilla forces whose target preference is not in a uniform but are simply not believers in their cult and they have no specific base. We can simply allow them to have an occasional success and hope the casualties will be minimal, or we can go kill them wherever they are. Its not a bad idea to spread a little honey to attract them either, it sure has allowed us to kill the chit out of them in Iraq and Afghanistan.
