Why destroy homes in Iraq?

Mithras at Fables of the reconstructions reports: U.S. Troops Destroy Iraqi Homes On Minutes' Notice

This is not about denying sanctuary. This is collective punishment, which is a war crime. Col. James Hickey is a war criminal. As are the people who ordered these raids, and the other soldiers carrying them out.

Why? Who decided that this would be an affective tactic? Was this approved by the White House? Groan. It’s going to continue to get worse because of this kind of stupidity. The hole we are digging will get deeper and deeper. Meanwhile, Americans will continue to by SUVs and Hummers.

I fear the hole we are digging will be our collective grave.
