I can't stop thinking about those poor men left dead on the road to Bahgdad. I can't sleep.

I can't sleep, because I have seared visions of all those poor, loyal Iraqi soldiers rounded up, handcuffed with terror in their eyes and forced to speak in a video while cowards in machine guns watch. These poor men, wondering, expecting that eventually someone will rescue them, and they'll be home.

I see some who are obviously veteran soldiers, probably who have engaged in many battles over the years, who were trained by our soldiers, fought besides us and with whom they still have warm friendships.

I can't sleep, because I keep seeing them on their knees, then murdered one by one, tumbling forward like bear cubs.

What kind of people are we that we sit back and do nothing for people with whom our soldiers fought and maybe died with?

What advice is our military giving our president? I'm not in the military, but I see these AlQaida cowards, driving brazenly down a single road in broad daylight, and I wonder...why don't we mow them down with our jets? With our drones? This would send a message to those Iraqi soldiers that we're with you.

Why don't we kill these cowards, then use what ever diplomacy you wish afterwards, but let's start with a clear message.

I feel sick. This is not the America I've known.

Say what you wish about Malaki and anyone else there in power in Iraq, but these people asked for our help, and we don't help?

This is bad people. Very bad.

What kind of people are we?

I believe it was Golda Meir who said that the conflicts would not end “until Muslims loved their own children more than they hated the Jews.”

I saw that, as a vet I saw it as one of those bureaucrat things.

Bad, but not profound.

That is correct. She had profound insight.

So, do you enjoy having John F-ing Kerry as Secretary of State as much as I?

That was an Obama punch in the mouth to all of us.

However, Obama assured the Iraqi government and Americans that they are taking ‘diplomatic’ efforts to resolve the problem.

He is an evil man.

ALL Obama voters should be shunned...friends, family...shun them all. They have much innocent blood on their hands...turn away from these people.

Why is it our fault. We have enough dead soldiers for nothing. Why should more Americans die let them fight and die for their own country. I was awake last night thinking of the five Troops that died a week ago in Afghanistan and also thinking of the border my children's future in this miserable country.

Not to make you feel worse but check out a video on live leak where the terrorist cowards are out on a highway shooting AK47’s at innocents in their cars and killing them for fun while filming it all. Afraid to show their cowardly faces.

The world needs to wake up to Moslem violence. Our current admin ignores it.

Now we know how a community organizer would run a war. Run away!

Actually, when Democrats lose at anything, they love to use psycho babble on how they won. The Boston marathon bombing is a prime example, carnage everywhere, terrorists carried out a bombing and they want people to think it was a win.

Very Evil and very intelligent[in an evil way]. how is he intelligent? He was placed in the White House for one purpose and one purpose only. To destroy the United States of America as a World power. And this he is doing magnificently. And by allowing the label[s] of “stupid” and “he has no experience” to be attached to him, he is doing what he was put in the White House to do with minimal interference.

How can anyone at home or abroad ever trust the United States of America again? It’s a win win situation: Osama wins, Obama wins!

I believe that beheading[of Daniel Pearl] should be required viewing by most American adults. It would wake up many to the horror of what we are dealing with.

Absolutely, and it should be combined with full, unedited tapes of the 9/11 atrocities, including the burning impact shots of the planes hitting the Twin Towers and the people falling and jumping out of the buildings.

I tell you what, my third grade teacher at St. Mark’s in St. Paul Minnesota told us straight, that when the Communists came to China and found children in religion class they stuck chopsticks in their eardrums and cut out the tongues of the teachers.

We learned also about the Holocaust and the baby killing, murder and robbery by the demonic nazi regime, everything else we needed to know.

Thank you for trying.

This is not the America you know?

Do you not remember South Vietnam?
Do you not remember Cambodia?
Do you not remember the Kurds after GW1?

No, this is EXACTLY what America does.

The other side had cameras this time.

You're right -- it's not -- it's Iraq.

It's the Iraq that you've known if you are honest with yourself.
