yea lets let al-quaeda turn Iraq into pre-war Afghanistan, who cares.

[misterrob]

Won't happen. The Shia are going to take over the country and they are no friend of AQ. They will instead, become a suburb of Iran and with all the problems that will create for the world.

[Echo Talon]

The power struggle should last quite awhile.

Yo! Mikey! And were you prepared to invade Waziristan [Pakistan]in pursuit of UBL, with all those troops you would have saved by not invading Iraq? You know, the nuclear armed Pakistan? You know, with Iran to your rear?

Mr coren spends too much time looking in his rear view mirror.

Where did this article come from?

[BW2221]

O'Reilly interviewed (Ret.) Col. David Hunt after the Rumsfeld "resignation." Hunt, who appears very conservative, said he felt this move should have been made several years ago because Rumdfeld was "Micro-managing" the war and making many decisions that should be left to commanders in the field.

We haven't done well in wars since civilians started running them.

Really? I thought it was a slam dunk.

Silly me.

I'm proud to say that I opposed the war from its very beginning and also denounced the sanctions that were thrown at the Iraqi people.

Not removing Saddam and not having sanctions = Iraqi WMDs within a relatively short time.

[cripplecreek]

How did they determine that I voted against RINOs as a result of the war in Iraq?

[randog]

There is nothing conservative about fruitless attempts to impose democracy, equality or enlightenment on other cultures.

Hey, where's your compassion, conservative?!

"Mr coren spends too much time looking in his rear view mirror."

You learn from history and we didn't learn much from Vietnam.

[Man of the Right]

Good post. This isn't a pure left-right issue. There are Freepers who support the intervention and those who oppose it. I respect both positions but come out against keeping more than half of our ground forces (in-country, refitting or preparing to deploy) there indefinitely. We may need our Army and Marines for other contingencies. And it's not fair to the 1% of the U.S. population that is serving in the military and their families. Two tours is enough.

One sometimes has to sit back and look at the Art of Writing.

There are many points we can all agree on. But the underlying assumption is wrong.

So we end up scratching our heads and wondering, yeah, so what?

[brytlea]

The only solution to Iraq is to leave it. Not because of the leftists who oppose anything American and not because of those Muslim hypocrites who said nothing when Saddam was slaughtering his own people, but because it has nothing to do with the Western world.

Huh?

Of course, the writer also thinks Ike was the greatest American President of the 20th century....

Good Ole Clinton guys.

[himno hero]

There is no comparison here. none. some want to make it that way. but its not the case.

[RasterMaster]

What part of TERRORIST TRAINING GROUND does the moron author NOT understand? His draft-dodging "hero" BJ Clinton set REGIME CHANGE IN IRAQ as US policy. President Bush had the stones to do more than give the issue lip service.
