Build up an Iraqi military capable of doing all the flattening.  They're probably much better suited to this than the US army, under Saddam, they had to deal with a lot of Kurdish insurgents, and their standard tactic (surprise, surprise) was to surround a hostile town and flatten it with airstrikes, helo strikes, artillery, and tank fire, then have infantry clear out the rubble.

hey i got  a presentation to do on guerrilla warfare very soon in my university and i am well prepared for it.
i will use the example of iraq where current guerrilla fighting is going on especially in the anbar proviance and bagahad. what is sad is that terrorists of al qaida have come and joined the fighting with the guerrillas of iraq and these qaida attack civilians and use terror tactics.

And it is really sad that Al Qaeda has spoiled the party...

Come back among us Al Qaeda and the ubiquitous "foreign terrorists" are far from being responsible from all or even most of the attacks against the civilians and use so called terror tactics.

They are spoiling the party everywhere. But they themselves get to party.
