Unfortunately this so-called war is more about "winning hearts and minds" than about destroying the enemy.
It's getting to that point where we need to finally shift from nation-building to nation-destroying...
Thankfully we have the real adult leadership of GWB and Rumsfeld at the helm - The fact is we are not at war with most of the Iraqi's....we are at war with the terrorist among them! -(there is a huge difference) -
We are fighting the WOT and it is not easy!! - That is why every administration since Jimmy Carter chose to ignore this unavoidable war!! (and simply pass it on) -
The fact is we have fought the most successful unconventional war in history!! - We are systematically and deliberately destroying Al Qeade and other terrorists organizations daily and nightly!
However, in war bad things happen!! - War is not some Rosy miniseries on TV where the good guys come out on the better end each and every time! -
GWB lead on this issue from the beginning!! - He was straight forward when he said this would be a different kind of war, it would be long and it would be difficult!
Does the fact that terrorists hide themselves among the citizens of Iraq make this a hundred fold more difficult? Of course it does! - Does it make it frustrating - Damn certain it does!! -
But we are still winning and fighting this war in the only systematic way which can and will assure victory down the road.
When bad days happen and when good men and women are lost.....it is time to cowboy up....not whine and b*tch.
