2. The solution to what?
To how to kill lots of Iraqis without putting our troops in so much danger? Yes it solves that problem. How killing Iraqis from the air is going to solve larger problems, such as restoring peace and stability to the region, escapes me.

One thing we could do to restore peace and stability, although with a short term increase in violence, is to commence an orderly retreat out of Iraq and back into our bases in Kuwait and elsewhere.

3. "The bigger the problem, the bigger the gun"
Who are they going to bomb, Sunni death squads sneaking in the streets of Baghdad?

4. Yeah, killing more Iraqi civilians will solve the population
growth of Iraq. There are too many people there that want the US Occupiers out of their country. :sarcasm:

5. Great idea! Use a bigger sledgehammer to kill mosquitoes.
Or, a bowling ball to crack eggs.

6. Yeah, it worked so well in Viet Nam.......
"carpet bombing" with B-52s was a big hit and look how well it worked there. :sarcasm:
