Obvious Followup #0006
Here's Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmit, speaking the other day about the "Coalition"'s latest plan to snuff out the Iraqi Resistance:
"The sooner we get every person in this country understanding their responsibility to provide us intelligence on those people in their neighborhoods who they believe to be participating in these attacks," the sooner they will stop, Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt said Friday. "We need to get that intelligence from them so we can pre-empt these attacks before they happen."
Obvious followups:
Why the hell would anyone think that "every person" in the country wants the attacks to end? According to the polls commissioned by the "Coalition" itself, most everyone wants the occupiers to go home, now.
Why should anyone believe that individual cells would tip off their neighbours in some way, if they didn't trust them to keep quiet? The Resistance has avoided penetration up until now -- maybe that's because it knows what it's doing. More likely, their neighbours are part of their support network, so obviously aren't going to go snitching them off.
What was the "Coalition" doing with its thousands of prisoners, besides torturing them? Wasn't that the whole point of the grisly methods: to "get that intelligence from them"? (A question this blog has previously addressed.)
Is the "Coalition" really so desperate that it's pleading with Iraqis to turn each other in, even knowing full well how those turned in will be treated, once apprehended?
Questions so obvious, the mainstream media hasn't even bothered to ask them.
