and burying any insurgents they kill with pig carcasses? Proclaming all over Iraq on billboards that The US will not tolerate anymore insurgency , they will just start sending them all to hell with a bullet and a bit of pigs blood?

That idea - and it's an old one, actually - is based on a misunderstanding of one tennet of Islam.
Not that some sort of riegn of terror couldn't be used to pacify Iraq (it worked for the Baathists for almost half a century), it just would take more realistic tactics than that to accomplish.

Nice try, but if memory serves me correctly that is what was done to the Muslims either before the beginning of the Jewish state when there was a deception between either the Dutch or British and the Saudi prince at that time. If I'm off (which I don't think I am), then it was by the Russians in the war with Afghanistan, but I think I'm accurate on my first statement.
I did see some footage of the insurgents using the carcasses of animals and people to hide their explosives. Do you have any insight on that?

Nobody takes the time to soak their ammo in pig blood. Also, I don't believe Islam condemns a person for unwittingly touching pig blood. This rumor has been going around for years. It wasn't true several years ago and its still not true now.

Has anyone bothered to question where they are getting pigs from in Iraq?
That's the trouble with rumors...no one works out the details.

This is old rhetoric Islam thinking..Islam has advanced past these beliefs and Allah can read the heart of his followers no matter what the situation. If they were killed with pigs blood on bullets..that means nothing! You are judge by how you lived your life not by how you died. (unless its suicide that a different story)

So you would suggest a soldier further endanger him or herself by soaking ammunition in pig's blood which would most certainly render the firearm useless when it is most needed.
Great Einstein.
By the way, when are YOU enlisting in the armed forces?

That's made up; but even if it weren't, it would still pale in comparison to the brutal and bloody tactics used by the cowards we're fighting.q

I would rather just tell them this.
If you ever commit another terrorist attack on US soil, Mecca will be blown up the next day. No if's, and's or but's.
