If this murderous cleric is not killed withing 24 hours....this whole venture is a joke...

If we don't unleash our warriors to fight and destroy their warriors - we should surrender immediately and come home...

This is madness...
Bush is going to fall as a result of his attempt to "play nice" with lunatics....
Lunatics must NOT be allowed to murder our troops with no price to pay...

Yeah, right.

[Azzurri]

It's obvious both the Sunnis and Shiites don't respect the US because of our overly benign approach to things. We should get on a loudspeaker and say something to this effect: "In retrospect, it's obvious that you folks were happier under Saddam Hussein. We are therefore returning Saddam to power in 3 days." Then, we'd see the biggest about face in history in the attitudes of the Iraqi Muslims.

Hmmm, interesting tattoo on the 203 trigger man...

[mcshot]

I concur, the coalition is no longer on offense and is getting chewed up on defense. I don't foresee a democratic future for these Muslim militants. Perhaps all they want is a less evil dictator although they are thirsting for power like a liberal.

The news of todays casualties has me in the blues and my optimism has evaporated.

my guess - the rules of engagement have been changed and does not allow the use of helicopter based attacks. it pains me to say it, but I would bet anything that is it.

Hell, they'd call out helicopters here in the frigging USA if a base was under attack by hundreds of armed Americans. I'm really beginning to wonder what we're doing in Iraq now. Are we trying to show the Iraqis how much we pain we can take or something????

I'm sure that impressed the hiring authority.

[mikegi]

As much as I would like to believe that, it is becoming more and more evident that we aren't seeing an overwhelming response because one isn't coming. I hope I am wrong, but we'll know for sure in the next few weeks.

You ain't the only one.

There will be no popular support for US in Iraq because there isn't any support for the US in Iraq. Iraq has a 'welfare mentality'. They do not want elective rule. They prefer rule by dictator.

We captured their last dictator--another thug will surely arise, with the support of the people.

We should withdraw troops both north to Kurd-country and south to Kuwait, and leave the rest of Iraq to the people who want another dictator.

No use throwing more good soldiers and good money in a useless effort.

That burka parade in Sadr city looked...otherworldly. It's like a scene out of Conan the barbarian. Doom, doom, doom...

[Skooz]

Scum. Not one of these slimy vermin are worth one drop of American blood. All of them combined are not worthy of one drop of American blood.

Bring back the shredders. Bring back the torture rooms.

Let's reinstall Saddam and let him do whatever he wants with the lot of them. These subhumans are worthy of no better.

Uday and Kusai don't seem like such bad guys after all.

[Happy2BMe]

Seal?

[DayTripper]

You know what Patton thought said about "defense".

[faithincowboys]

Who can doubt that the Democrats and John Kerry are happy about this? not me!! I just wish this war hadn't been so politicized.

[NormsRevenge]

Puff needs to make a visit to a few "communities" in Iraq.

[Blood of Tyrants]

You cannot meet savagery with civility.

[Windsong]

Reckoning

[NormsRevenge]

"Politics" has become a pox on our civilization.

Our own internal entanglements allow our enemies to be even more emboldened and confident they can be successful in defeating and destroying us.

The Obstructionist democRatic Party is no friend of this nation and seem more intent on just making nice nice, imo.

[RocketJsqurl]

It is time to start killing these roaches. We will not win unless we show force. That is what they understand.
Coat our bullets with pigs blood and unleash hell.

That'll stop these rats
