I don't think that he meant there would be no more fighting, just that for the most part we were in control. It sounds like he was right.

These are firefights, not major battles.You are right.
Tell me if I am wrong, but I heard an ABC news report at the top of the hour and the reporterette said "massive" US caualties two times during her report about the 12 Marines that have been killed. But "massive"? No, these are not massive. They don't know massive. Even though any US serviceman that is killed or injured is very bad and hurting, this reporterette and the media in general should not be reporting that way. Numbers are numbers, but to put their own opinion into what is supposed to be straight reporting is wrong.

It figures that Lou Dobbs would have Terry McAuliffe on his show Dobbs had a love fest with MaCauliffe, like GraniteState has with his Macauliffe doll every night.

He didn't say major combat against Saddam's organized army.
No, get to your Drano.
Ha, ha. Do you turn 4 next month? Plan to have a Finding Nemo-themed party and such? Grow up. Reply to me with arguments-- actual reasoned arguments.

I think this is all planned and coordinated Remember a few months ago, several translated jihadi messages kept using the phrase " 4-4-4 "? Something like:
"They will come from the land, 4-4-4!"
"They will come from the sea, 4-4-4!"
"Allah aims their throw, 4-4-4!"
It seems that all this coordinated attack started around April 4th, or 04-04-04.

What could I say, only tears and sadness. So forgive me dear once if I was not there to fight with them and be part of a battle.
Here is from me to you all love ones dear Americans.
You are heart of an angle, never to be forgotten by those who love you. There is something to live for even when people are sad. They have heart of Angel, and it is more then more can know.
They have heart of an Angel and for them, we live to sing our life songs.
They give us everything, more to say, but they give us everything.
They have a heart of gold, more to say then words can say or hold. Gold of them is song for us. Though they are gone, it is heart of gold and angel.
They live in us as thousands songs, and for us they will always be heart of gold.
God Bless you all

You don't argue; you grab DNC talking points and think they constitute serious discussion.
You've been carrying on a jihad against Bush for over a month.
Why don't you come clean? You're not really a Bush supporter, are you?

"these money, all these lives, for what? "
To win the war on terror. Hint: These people we are fighting are anti-american terrorist coddlers.
Sadr? said he would ally with hezbollah and hamas, 2 groups that have killed american citizens.
Just be serious, if those animals want to come to this country and blow us up in NYC, Detriot, what's stopping them?"
The fact that we are killing them in Iraq, for one.
"Again, all those armchair supporters of this war, go out and talk to a family who suffer the losses, they are not that difficult to find."
Not this cr*p again. shall I reread the speech I gave you last week on this? How much you spit on the grave of our fallen heroes by telling their families their sacrifice was in vain! They died making Iraq a free nation, they died making America safer, they died in our war on terrorism.
It is a war we will win as long as defeatists like you dont hold sway. Our leaders are decent honorable and under a lot of pressure in a very trying time, we have had many terrorist attacks since 9/11, and it doesnt help at all to spread defeatism, gloom and lies about our leaders.
As I said to you last week, there were many reasons to go to war in Iraq, and those reasons were true, valid and justified. There are even MORE reasons to stay the course.
If you have an OUNCE of compassion and concern for military families, you would NOT AT ALL spread such negative harmful and enemy-aiding-and-abetting sentiments like "historically wrong" cr*p. WE MADE THE DECISION. IT IS DONE. LET'S FINISH THE JOB AND WIN.
DO YOU WANT US TO WIN OR LOSE?

abc hourly news says rear troops being called up.
time for collateral damage

To: GraniteStateConservative
No, he did not speak too soon.
When we flew our KC-135 to SE Asia in 1968 and 69 we were met upon our return with the same message, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
It did not mean the VN war was over.
To: GraniteStateConservative
Western Society ( our gov'ts ) have gotten us into something that we cannot control... You wilsee that many more on both sides will be maimed, wounded or dead before the end. What is the end? The end of civilization? We need the solution.
To: GraniteStateConservative
"He said major combat was over. Do you think it is?"
Yes, it is. It's been so over since April 2003.
We have in the last 11 months been best with terrorism, sabotage and hit-n-run mortars attacks, but absolutely nothing that could be called "major combat". Nothing we can throw a B-52 bomber at or an armored division.
Now, what we are facing is the kind of like the 'occupation' that Israel had in Lebanon for about 18 years, from about the 10% that actively hates us, and peaceful civil affairs occupation from the 90% that want us there.
And trying to juggle that mix has been a real pain... That's a problem but not 'major combat'.

Prove it! You know NOTHING about what you speak. Prove that lies and hype got us into this war. PROVE to us about the bad people. PROVE this is a historically wrong decision. PROVE we're doing NOTHING to stop terrorists.
You are full of crap. I'm sick and tired of people throwing reckless vitriol around subjects they know NOTHING about.
Finally, watch your comments about Armchair supporters. MANY MANY FReepers are more than armchair supporters...they're friends, relatives, kids, spouses and parents of those fighting right now.
How pretentious of you to believe you know best. Piss off!

So what is your point? Didnt the military and the USS Abraham Lincoln sailors and airmen and indeed President Bush himself accomplish something significant in April 2003?
