In my opinion, Iraqis not worth saving from themselves. No lust for democracy that I can see. But cut and run solution likely will turn Iraq into Islamic dictatorship (after a civil war) and an haven for terrorism in short order. Question is, will our staying make any difference in that eventual outcome?

[Greg Weston]

Better go take care of some guy I heard of that was making threats against America. He lives in a Amazon rainforest his group was making anti-American statements I understand. Go take care of him now. Remember how we let Hitler slide in the 30's. Can't make the same mistake with this Amazon madman.

[Joe Hadenuf]

how about the fact that if we do not help civilize their country ANOTHER Saddam could emerge, supply weapons to groups of scumbags like Al Quada and then it would cost a sh*tpot more lives on our own soil.

Huh? Is that what were there for? To help civilize the Iraqi people???

Our focus and direction sure has changed.

[Cedric]

I, too, have concluded that Greg Weston is most likely a 13 year-old. I choose not to waste any more time with him.

[VadeRetro]

12 more victims of neo-CON nonsense. Way to go CONS. When you going to get around to protect our own borders? Wanting to stupidly play world cop getting brave Americans killed distracting you from the real problems?

When the war is over there, the jihadis take more casualties than we do. When the war was over here, we took over 3000 to their 19. I want the war over there.

Like it or not, Iraq was one of the biggest supporters of terrorism in the Middle East

Got a link on that:

Report Details Saddam's Support for Terrorists Who Killed Americans

The above link is the FreeRepublic discussion thread.

The actual article is :

"Saddam Hussein’s Philanthropy of Terror"

It is a pdf document with substantial footnotes and put together by Dewey Murdock of the Hudson Institute.

>>Question is, will our staying make any difference in that eventual outcome?<<

Well it will make the eventual outcome of the number of our brave soldiers who will be casualties to be higher. Thanks neo-CONS.

After reading your above "well thought through" response to Dane, I've come to one conclusion:

You are an idiot

[luvbach1]

Tet offensive only succeeded in Vietnam because we cut and ran (with help from the domestic "peace" movement). The Shiite/Sunni "Tet" offensive will only succeed for precisely the same reasons.

[Monty22]

Greg's been here a long time. No need to call those that are sickened by our losses as worthy of insult.

It's rough now. We need to know that

[Greg Weston]

You must be a neo-CON. One of the true idiots.

[Ray'sBeth]

I am so sorry about your nephew. My son's there too.

[Long Cut]

Check out some of the replies on this thread, if your stomach's strong.

I just can't believe that, on a day like today, some Americans would rather argue and fight with other Americans than our enemies.

I also cannot understand why some people think that a Mexican coming over the border to work at a Wal-Mart is a worse threat than terrorist-sponsoring states.

They are SO angry that those borders weren't sealed off, but not because they're worried about Terrs.

Good men died today. Today, I don't care about poll numbers, neo or paleo-cons, or even Leftists. On days like today, we are all AMERICANS, dammit.

Or at least we SHOULD be.

[Charles H. (The_r0nin)]

Thanks! That's great info!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

We continue to prove to the enemy that we do not have the will to fight. Our press continues to do their bidding.

All we can really do, imho, is keep our eyes on the prize, remember what's at stake, the nature of this enemy, the honor of our troops who are risking their lives for our freedom - because those who think they can protect our borders are living in dreamworld.

We have no choice but to fight this enemy.....and under all the spin and hype and negativity - our Marines performed admirably today, and we lost very few troops in this battle.

Our far weaker enemies are emboldened by their PR agents, the free Western press running the 2004 Dem. election campaign (and who haven't yet grasped, imho, the nature of the enemy they're appeasing).

There was real, factual, substantive good news out there today....but few are interested, as the mainstream press owns the public square....and the hearts and minds of the American people.

"Huh? Is that what were there for? To help civilize the Iraqi people???"

No of course not, that was only one part of my response to a moronic comment made above... it obviously goes well past just "civilizing" Iraq..

[MEG33]

BRAVO!!..AMERICA..HOME OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE
