No Keith, we have too many politicians who think they can prove that
they have testicles by going along with Bush in his war to avenge his
father's honor. I further believe that Cheney pushed it along so that
his corrupt Halliburton friends could steal billions from their own
government.
All the lives, money, and other resources wasted on this war in Iraq
should have instead been used to finish up in Afghanistan and to capture
Bin Laden and all of his cronies.

Absolutely correct!

If you guys think so...
To me that's just so many meadow muffins.
Amrchair generals that know nothing about how to fight an insurgent war,
driven by a wildly aberrant religious fanatics... No, them, not us...
We may still need a reprise of the Crusades (except with no Christian
banners,) to finally wipe them out.
Two salient facts, one is you MUST wipe the extremist, fatalistic
Muslims out, or like Medusa, they keep growing back: and two, while our
(the civilized world's) goals are to live and enjoy life, theirs is to
die and see if what they've been lied to about is really true....
No lie...we've got years and years to go, to win THIS particular war.
The first thing we ought to do is declare an actual WAR! Which we've not
yet done. Make it a class-action suit, so it catches all the bad guys.
Quite unfortunately, the majorly pussy Liberal-leaning American public
will never stand for a proper effort. Nothing like an effete citizenry
to keep your country strong and on an even keel. Uh huh.
We, the U.S., might as well get used to being thought of like the
French, militarily. Start things but too chicken-s*** to finish it
properly. WE let the civilians run the war. Just like 'Nam.
And you know how that turned out!
Our troops are still performing very well, but it's their mommas that
will bring them home before the time is right.
And the chicken-s*** legislators will be the ones who are listening to
the whining mommas, and THEY will see to it that funding is cut, and the
troops are brought home ~ much too early.
There goes the old reputation for being one of the world's premier
fighting forces. Down the tubes.
WE need legislators with some balls. Sadly, we don't have enough of them.
