U.S. Strategy in Iraq War
The caption with this picture: “A U.S. Marine helps an injured POW moments after securing the port of Um Qusar in southern Iraq, Sunday, March 23, 2003.”
This picture from the Herald-Sun.com interactive slide show effectively shows the strategy the U.S. is following in this war. Compassion toward the enemy to win them over. So far it doesn’t appear successful but soon stories of events like that shown in this picture will be so common place that many Iraqis will have to see the stupidity of the cause they are fighting for. The bad thing about this strategy is that it is very likely that more American soldiers will die than if we were to fight a scorched earth type of war.
If you get a few minutes check out as much of the slide show linked above as you can. It is amazing how much better a slide show like this is at giving one an idea of what is going on in Iraq than the crappy 24 hour coverage on CNN, FOX and BBC. There really are some unbelievable pictures on the site.

The depressing thing is that this is one of my favorite posts on this site and no one (but me)commented on it.

That really is a good picture. It really does show that the war is not all about killing and “oil” like it is portrayed as being about.
