Why do we kidnap people who kidnap people to show people that kidnapping people is wrong?

Well, at least now we know why C-Plus Caligula wanted John Negroponte to be our Ambassador to Iraq:

The Pentagon is debating whether to set up elite hit-squads to target leaders of the Iraq insurgency in a new strategy based on tactics used against leftist guerrillas in Central America 20 years ago, Newsweek magazine reported on Saturday.



One proposal would send U.S. Special Forces teams to advise, support and possibly train Iraqi squads of hand-picked Kurdish Peshmerga fighters and Shiite militiamen to target Sunni insurgents and their sympathizers, Newsweek said, citing military insiders familiar with the discussions.



The squads may operate across the border in Syria, Newsweek said on its web site, but added it was unclear whether they would assassinate leaders or be involved in ``snatch'' operations.



The magazine said the plan is being called ``the Salvador option'' after strategy instigated during the Reagan administration's battle against the leftist guerrilla insurgency in El Salvador in the early 1980s.



Then, faced with a losing war against Salvadoran rebels, the U.S. government funded or supported ``nationalist'' forces to hunt down and kill rebel leaders and sympathizers.



``What everyone agrees is that we can't just go on as we are,'' one unidentified senior military officer told Newsweek. ``We have to find a way to take the offensive against the insurgents. Right now, we are playing defense. And we are losing.''

So let's just violate every international law we can find, and kidnap and kill a bunch of people we think might be doing Very Bad Things, and if they're not guilty, well, fuck 'em. Americans just think they're all a bunch of terrorists anyway, they won't give a damn.



Read the full Newsweek article. This is what our government is doing in our name...in an attempt to try to resolve the irresolvable clusterfuck THEY got us into.



Remember Iran's 1979 revolution that put the Ayatollah Khomeini in charge? You know what he was, and you know who still runs Iran today? Shiite clerics. And here we are, about to start killing Sunni Muslims so that the Shiites can take over Iraq.



What the fuck are we doing over there? Does anyone have a clue?
