Ah, the cry for instant gratification.
War isn't a video game and it isn't a 30 minute drama. Be greatful you weren't born in the 20s. You couldn't have handled WWII.

"This is not a conscripted military. They all want to be there, they all want to do their jobs and they all know the risks."
Thank goodness our soldiers have much more courage and patience than those who think we have surrendered in Falluja and lost the war this morning.

I don't think we are nation building. I understood what W meant when he said he didn't want to be a nation builder.
This is a case of, "You break it, you bought it." We should help them put things back together.

"critical mass"?
Thankfully you had no command and control during WWII. Pearl Harbor would have both got us into the war and got us out - on the same day.

Fine.
In my opinion, every member of the U.S. military should have been brought home on the day that the same U.S. Congress that couldn't agree on how to finance the war effort somehow managed to get almost unanimous support for a national "Do Not Call" bill that protected the U.S. population from the hideous threat of -- get this -- f#%&ing telemarketers.

Interesting perspective, I also have been feeling this way relative to your following quote
No American should be expected to die defending the home of another not willing to do the same.
This is what pisses me off, the Iraqis dont seem to be willing to stand up for themselves.

I think the fight for liberty in a country can take years. If you're ready to give up within 12 months or so, then feel free to support John Kerry -- you'll find many like-minded people in his camp.
I don't mean to sound churlish, but it's hard for me to deal with the idea of handing our enemies a victory -- it won't happen while George W. Bush is President, thank heaven.

We are in day three of a 30 year war. We just do not know yet how well or how badly it is going.
I know one thing. I would rather we fight them there, than here.
Buck up, it is going to be a long pull with lots of ups and downs.

History repeats itself, Our soldiers will be victorious as they were in Germany after the "War".
The Werwolf is thought to have had about 5,000 members. Both the British and Americans were attacked by them. Major John Poston, who had been with Field Marshal Montgomery in the desert, in Sicily and in northwest Europe, and served as a liaison officer for the field marshal, was ambushed in his jeep and killed. On 24th March, 1945, the Lord Mayor of Aachen was assassinated by Werewolf agents. He was not the only US appointed official to die at the hands of the partisans, but he was the most important. The Commander of the 3rd Armored Division, General Maurice Rose, was allegedly assassinated by Werewolf agents in Padeborn.
Radio Werwolf bragged that "the arm of the National Socialist Party was long and that its agents, the Werwolf, were vigilant, ruthless killers." The radio station broadcast a call to arms claiming itself to be the organization of National Socialist Freedom Fighters. The radio station vowed that the Werwolf would never bow to the enemy and would employ every means to damage the enemy. Perhaps more important, the radio station told the German people that the Werwolf was employing its own judicial system to decide the life and death of German traitors.

Be greatful you weren't born in the 20s. You couldn't have handled WWII.I agree. War isn't for those who want to cut and run when things don't go perfect.

The whole point is that Iraq had threatened Israel with the Rain of Fire. The action in Iraq has been successful to the extent that Israel has not yet been forced to the point of nuclear war.

Casualties have reached "critical mass"?! We've lost just over 700 since the Iraq campaign began. As I recall, there were over 3000 lost at Omaha Beach alone on June 6th, 1944. Check premises? You need to check your perspective.

The emery can never hope for a military victory. Instead they are trying to create a political one by targeting our soldiers. Those young people are being killed for no other purpose than to make you think what do. Also South Vietnam didnt fall until sometime after we left. They may very well have survived if congress hadnt turned their backs on them.

You should go take a look at the Falluja thread. There is a whole lot of defeatism over there. And of few of them are even on this thread. I see the propaganda machine is beginning to win.
