Well, this isn't exactly good news. It may be time for an Iraq-style sweeping operation.

I'm curious to know what the rest of the international community thinks about these chaps...I was under the general assumption that we were loosing allies because of this, or rather that they were reluctant to side with us...Is this still the case..?

You've still got Canada on your side, Ja, and as long as we keep our current Conservative government, that's not going to change.

If the media left for about two weeks, our military could clean house without the "In your face with every step you take' type of reporting. We could use our 'Microwave weapons' on the mountain ranges. Or better yet, we could unleash the 'Hound's of Hell' by allowing our military to fight without the DEMO backlash.

I haven't really taken much notice, lately. (and not because of stress & studies, mind you)

Personally, I'd rather have the media embedded with the units than running whever they want like in Vietnam.

microwave weapons will cook alot more than your coffee. Everyone dies within 200 to 300 square miles while leaving the infrustructure in the area intact. I'm being real vague to save people's feelings.

The problem with that is you run the risk of killing large numbers of innocent civilians, something the U.S. wants to avoid, with good reason.
