Agreed! I trust our military leaders, not the "Nuke Mecca" crowd.

"Seems that the vernacualr of armchair quaterbacking has seeped onto FR."

Same tired line, broken record, one note samba from someone without the ability to think independently.. I proved with 7 stories from papers such as the Washington Times that that the Fallujahn ceasefire decision to not attack was imposed by Bremer and Rumsfeld, not local commanders, but you were too dense to believe it then. Said the same line, over and over.

Now you repeat this brain dead garbage in this instance. Two military analysts on Fox today agree that this decision “originated from above the military”. (That means Alawi incase that’s not clear to you.) I saw the US ambassador to Iraq on Fox as well expressing great concern with this cease fire. He was not happy with it.

We have a duty to question political decisions regarding our troops that we believe are bad, especially when they originate by Iraqis. (Yes I know, we don’t take direct orders from Iraqis. They have just been ordered to cooperate with Alawi and not act against his wishes)

But why am I bothering telling you this. You refuse to see, much less think. You can only say one thing. “armchair quarterbacking”. Polly want a cracker? “Braaaak – armchair quarterbacking.”

I remember you and your ilk from the Fallujah threads.

"NOTE TO BUSH: STOP PLAYING POLITICS WITH MARINES LIVES."

---

from the article commentary?

seems to me we got supposed freepers accusing the CIC of killing marines for political gains?

what a bunch of morons.

I don't understand why we are giving them quarter. Extending mercy, and allowing them time to figure a way out of their dilemma... and am not even sure that is what we are doing.

Furthermore, I am NOT there, don't know, and trust the leadership to do what is right. American leadership has kept us on top of the planet militarily for over fifty years now... I think we ought to trust it NOW more than ever.

I get frustrated at the news too.
But that does not make me "General Armchair."

Bush is doing what he believes we should, in the nation of Sovereign Iraq... for our good and even more, THEIRS. Funny the number of folks who know more than the pentagon around here.

ps...
what is the kill ratio in this op... 100 or better to one?
