"Sunni Triangle" I wonder what genious came up with that idea. I mean if the US lost control in a few more areas maybe it would be the "sunni square" or "sunni hexagon" American commanders must love drawing lines between areas they're getting beaten in, that way if you draw enough and the lies come aroud to join up they can they say its a special strong hold. whereas in fact its just areas that they are not able to keep under control and they think it's nice for the media to make it look like a "base" rather than a few co-ordinates on the map that they are failing in. Terrosits attack in the easyist places, so the US forces in those bits must be easy targets...probally due to people there wanting to harbour these people due to previous failed american tactics. You don't see british controlled areas with "triangles" because they a/keep a tighter ship b/ the population don't despise them - thus terrorist wont get much help fro the general population, whereas in american controlled areas they are jumping at the chance so they can get "even" The reaon americans get attacked the most isn't becasue they happen to be in areas where theres more 'baddies' it's the very fact that it's american occupied that means they get attacked the most.

Not sure what your point is. That area has been called the Sunni Triangle since the very beginning. It was the seat of power for SH.

I dont see how it is. i didn't see it being called the ST before they occupied

This is a dumb thread. stop wasting time.

If you are unable to dispute my points...then it is your post that is "dumb"

There is no "point" being made. You don't understand what you're talking about. It has been called the Sunni Triangle forever.

"Forever"? now is that a real forever...or a Bush "forever"? Since when has those areas been called that? Forever it quite a claim.

"Forever" means since it has come to Western (and CIA) attention. The early 1980s at the latest.

We nvr sent enough people in there. There was nvr a doubt we could take over. If the objective is to punish and destroy the country we can do that in a weekend with a few light divisions and air power. What i understood we needed was enough people to keep things stable or if it wouldnt be stable then keep them down. As for the britt i know in Basrah. He says they feel liberated and would like them to leave so they can get their own show on the road, but they arent violent. The guys up near Baghfast i mean Baghdad had better lives before we took it over. as for making it look like strong holds, i agree with you. We could take every single one of them in a weekend if these fools in the white house would stop *EDIT* and let the military do their job.
