"We grow weary of this war .......

'We'?! - I think you should speak for yourself or maybe just post this remark on DU.

I am so sorry to have taken the leave of speaking for others. However, if you follow the polls they cearly show a serious erosion of support for the war. I expect that tomorrow morning there will be another round that show even more erosion in the support after the last 48 hours of bloodshed. These are the same polsters who recorded the earlier support at incredibly high levels.

My main point is that I am sick of kids being put on patrol with little or no security. The Army has just published a very critical report of itself and the performance of intel gathering and handling in Iraq and "stan. Very disconcerting.

Most people I talk with daily fell like I do that the fear of civilian(s) killed has really pulled the teeth of the Armed Services and I just want all to know that we will kick their a$$ and kill anybody bold enough to point a weapon at us.
