Muslim Extremists Play Their Greatest Hits!
They've tried rockets, bombings, assaults, and roadblocks, all chart toppers and def jams to be sure, but now the Iraqi extremists are playing their very first big hit, the 1979 smash titled "Give Us What We Want Or The Hostages Die."
Idiots. The world is a different place than it was in 1979, disco is dead, the Casbah has been Rocked (the jet pilots won), Jimmy Carter is not in the White House, and the USA does not negotiate with terrorists. Not that I know anything about anything, but insiders whisper that a certain somebodies are getting a little desperate!

John,
John,
Haven't you heard?! It's a quagmire!! QUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEE!!!!!
It's a terrible situation,
It's a terrible situation, and someone is going to get killed because we aren't responding the way the kidnappers expected us to. Notice the sudden wave of hostage releases?

The splodeydopes made a big mistake challenging us in the way that they did. Aside from the sideline events of kidnapping, this whole "uprising" is playing directly to the strengths of the Marines and Army. I've seen a few estimates, and it looks like many hundreds if not thousands of insurgents, terrorists, jihadis and assorted scumbags have been killed since 4 april. It is turning out like Tet, at least on the tactical side.
On the media/strategic side, recent polls show that support for the war is still high. I don't think that the terrorists are going to win the hearts and minds of the American public by kidnapping, mutilating dead bodies, and all the rest of the typical maneuvers in their bag of tricks.
