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...

That is exactly what a military is supposed to be for. Evidence of that is how effective they were at their rightful purpose at the beginning of this war.

Now, it's not a war, it's fiasco, a mess and our soldiers do not deserve this. They are nothing more than targets (or "prey") in a wild animal rich environment.

Any directive than: go in destroy completely the enemy and get out, is madness and a waste of our best and brightest, our brave and precious.

Our soldiers can do their trained job very effectively if allowed to. That is a given that has been proven. Not given the allowance, then they are fodder for the slaughter on defense like this.

Bush is going to fall. It was his to lose and that is exactly where he is headed with this policy concerning our troops. What do they call it? "Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?" It's sad, because the man has integrity and honor, and John Kerry will lead this nation down the crap-hole if elected (we'll think we had it good under bubba). Like another poster stated: all my optimism evaporated, but mine evaporated some time back when there was no "effective" and proper response to attacks even before the Fallujah atrocity.

YEAH we should have done X the DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY we should IGNORE the fact we have been there only a year and pretend it has been fifty. Lord what a load of crap you armchair tacticians are trying to sell. And you can't tell the difference between a skirmish and a battle.

My God what happened to the American people who knew that war brought pain and suffering and required patience to achieve victory? Have they ALL been replaced by shallow nitwits crying from the back seat "Are we there, Yet?" "Are we there yet?" "I gotta go to the bathroom."

Fortunately the adults in charge understand their business.
