[Colin Glassey] Good set of Posts from the Belmont Club The Belmont Club is a new blog to me but they have a good set of posts lately. Here is one I agree with and it echoes a post by Donald Sensing. The bottom line is: to have a successful political effort you need to defeat or otherwise control the radicals who will not settle for anything less than total success. I'm reminded of the fact that the Irish government in 1921 had to fight a civil war to defeat and kill the radicals that wanted nothing less than the total control over all of Ireland. The Palestinians need to do the same thing, NOW. They need to fight a civil war and destroy the radicals who are following a plan which is going to fail. If they don't, then ALL the Palestinians are in danger of being forced out of the West Bank and into Jordan. 11:37:09 PM     [Colin Glassey] More about Larry, Moe, and Curley These were three positions occupied in downtown Baghdad by U.S. forces and fought over in some of the toughest fighting of the U.S.-Iraq war. Here is an e-mail about them from a U.S. solider who has been doing after-action interviews. This is absolutely worth reading if you care about how the U.S. Army fights against enemies. 11:03:17 PM
