I've heard a similar story, olive but I don't know if it's true. The thought that he'd want to decimate all his troops is a little hard to accept. All he'd need to do is neutralise the heads of the divisions. I'm sure he knows how; but I wouldn't accept that too easily. Only time will tell. In any case, they've been putting up a good fight, so far. I wish very much that I was not put in a position where I had to choose, particularly since the Aussies are there but I do wish that the US gets slapped very severely in the face so that they won't be so c ock sure of themselves ever again. Now, that, I think would be a smaller price to pay.
But I agree with you all this disgusting carnage for one man... and one can certainly ask, "which man are they really after?" It used to Bin Laden once. And since all the plane jackers were Saudis it should have been Faisal but hey? what's a barrel of oil or two between friends?
