“If you kill one of them, they’ll just replace him with another leader,’ remember that that’s like saying, `If you take out Robert E. Lee or Ulysses S. Grant, well, they’ll just replace them with another leader.’”

I’d have picked Rommel or Hess.

Enjoy the Shit Storm Condi!

I SAID IT A LONG TIME AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES! They will be replaced with another leader, but who wants to follow the second string QB? Or the Third? Or the Forth? Or a Fifth?

They break down with EVERY leader that is killed. They break into smaller groups until they can not function as an entity any longer and are left to fight ALONE.

DAMN I got it right!

i dont have sympathy for confederacy in civil war, but to compare zarqawi to robert e lee is pretty retarded to me. Same with U S grant. She was just tryin to use a metaphor, but she exaggerated the fuck out of it.

I think she was comparing the situation, not the people.

Rommel or Hess? OK try Jodl or some other German General after Rommel, there was noone left after Rommel to defend the coast and those in command after Hitler poisoned Rommell wer not up to the task, just like the AQI, Their “leader” is gone ,they have finance(Saudi Arabia) and troops(Saudi suicide bombers and other foreign death wish idiots) but no real coordinated leadership.
Hence they will have a devestating effect on random bombings, but the coordination is gone, and with it the good will of the terrified population who used to let them swim within.
Now they aint and the AQI bodies will stack up as the population gets to see what they are like and that now they have an alternative that promises LIFE.

Grant and Lee? I don’t think so Condi. These people aren’t that civilized. At least Grant and Lee were smart enough to end the war. As was Sherman and his counterpart.

Your analogy sucks…much like the job that you’re doing at State. Zarqawi is more like Tojo or Mitsuru. Screwey as the day is long.

As long as our MILITARY HEROES keep pounding their asses they won’t be able to set up shop anywhere for long. Condi and the state dept. needs to put some heat on the Saudis to stop the flow of money to these bastards.
And will someone please bomb IRAN.

Lee or Grant. Not to beat a dead horse, but seriously? Why would you equate 2 civil war heroes, one of them a US President, to a fucking terrorist? The context doesn’t even make sense. We’re talking about an insurgency and you just compared it to a divided-line war. I’m flabberghasted. This makes the US look retarded. Furthermore, it gives credit where credit isn’t due. Complimenting your enemy is worthless. This is not the first time Condi has dissapointed me.
