Old Geezer Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 I have been reading in my paper today about how large amounts of cash has reportedly been tried to help dissuade some Najaf "insurgents" from fighting. This tactic was heavily used during the war in Afghanistan, and was wondering how y'all have responded to this??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AisA Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Frankly, it strikes me as another example of the theory, "If we help feed the alligator, maybe he will eat us last." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y_feldblum Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 It's a substitute for handing large amounts of cash (raised sans force, mind you) to our own military and telling them to wipe out the "insurgents" with unmatched technology and overwhelming firepower. And it's a poor substitute at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
