Hillary isn't the only one who feels this way. These kind of atrocities will gather even more momentum for a withdrawal. And I'm starting to lean in that direction.
Screw that! German soldiers did similar things and almost broke through allied lines. You DON'T back down. You hit harder until you break the enemy's back.
I'm sure you are worried about you loved on over there now but pulling out will not help things.
Seems like to many mistakes are being turned into tragedies. I believe we fight all out to win or regroup and get ready for the next battle - hopefully not here.
I'll remember your login name when we are hit again stateside.
War is ugly and tragic sarasota, but keep in mind that they will never get away with that again. You should also keep in mind that actual US fatalities are extremely low in both theaters and with the exception of Matt Maupin there are no POW's.
In WWII we had soldier executed by Germans and incredible horrors committed by the Japanese. Had we lost our resolve then God only knows how bad life would be.
The left's only reason to oppose the war was to turn national support away from the GOP, all of the Rat members of the Government really have no desire to withdraw from Iraq, they just needed an issue to oppose Bush on.
Don't give up hope, AQ plan was always to draw us into a conflict with the hope that the US was a paper tiger. they knew they could never beat us but wanted to demoralize us so that we would leave giving them the victory. Then, they could topple every weak government in the Middle East knowing that we would not have the stomach to stop them. We can not give them that victory, no matter what the cost.
The last thing you must never forget, the men and women of our armed services know what that cost is and they all have chosen to freely bare it. For us to call for withdrawal is a slap in the face to all who have chosen to serve.
When you get hit you hit back. You fight untill you can't get up and hit back anymore, then you kick untill they break your legs, then you bite untill they kick out your teeth.
Losing this war is not an option. If we pull out, we have lost. 9-11-01 was bad. What will come from a retreat from Iraq will be much worse. We can never stand down, we can never retreat. As nasty as this war may be, and it is going to get worse this summer, we can never retreat.
Could you clarify that, please?
That is pure PC BS !
As Patton said: "Make the other S O B die for his country" terrorist cause etc.
I don't recall any wars that were won by turning tail and running.
Some people have a short memory, the Viet Nam retreat was only a little over 30 years ago.
No surprise here, if you have been following bin Laden, he predicted this and you are proving him right. It is the essence of his battle plan and to the extent he is right is the reason we won't win. We would have lost WWII using the same analysis.
The biggest problem in this war on terrorism is people like you.
Glad you wern't fighting in WW2.
What will happen to Iraq if we leave ?

You then are part of the problem.
I don't know what "sarasota" stands for, but I do know what Saratoga stands for....obviously, you do not.
A little "war-weary" are we? What a comfort it must be to the enemy to know that a few more dead GIs will be all it takes for people like you to scream for capitulation. Too bad our troops don't realize who the real enemy is.
