Here we go again...
OUR Worl in this Region is Only Just BEGINNING. Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, etc. The Powder Keg is primed and ready to explode. When these ponificators have such short sightedness it shows their true colors. Anyone with half a brain will realize that Saudi Arabia will be the Next great effort. it will get worse before it gets better, we all should have much patience and steadfastness. The Battle has Yet to begin, in earnest...
No, we should leave when the job is done. We had a similar crowd of know-it-alls demanding that we withdraw from Vietnam in the 60's and 70's. We know how well Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia turned out after we left.
Another nonentity checks in.
Those same know-nothings disregarded our roles in post-war Germany and Japan, p. Their backers became more obvious with the passing of time; who now shores those who would seek the felling of our nation and our way of life?
I couldn't agree with you more.
"The problem is that there is no way we can win -- defeat the insurgents and install a stable, democratic, friendly government -- and bad things are going to happen anyway. There is no way Americans are willing to pay the price even of stalemate, never mind an unattainable victory. ...
Where is Sergeant Major "Any-of-you-a**holes-call-me-grandpa . . . I'll-kill-you" Basil L. Pumley when we need him to whisper a few encouraging words into the ear of his old Ia Drang Valley bud?
Not until the job is done
I have to agree. Everyone wants to be the president. Once troops are committed, the discussion is over. Joe's opinion only helps the enemy. It's a bit above his pay grade too!
LOL! You're really good with statements of the obvious. Too bad Joe's not as bright!
I would hardly call "arm-chair quarterback" name-calling.
How many people have you talked to who work close to the Iraq mission, and how do you know how many share this point of view?
" however, it appears he was misled as far as the weapons of mass destruction." As was the previous administration, if in fact it is true that Saddam never had them, or was never exploring the capabilities of making them.
I think you are right. We haven't engaged Iraq and Afghanistan only to leave Syria, Iran and N. Korea as transnational terrorist training grounds.
who?
Is he on fox?
must be french? that or
GASP! HE KNOWS KERRY'S SUPER DUPER SECRET AMAZING FULL COLOR PLAN FOR VICTORY IN IRAQ!!!!!!
Yep. Benedict Arnold and John Kerry should be enough to prove that to anyone.
The lesson our enemies learned in Viet Nam was "Have patience".
Be patient and wait for the American media to tell the American people that the war is lost.
Be patient and wait for the American street demonstrators to fill the TV screens with anti-American rhetoric.
All Islam has to do is be patient.
I have a simple question for you. When some dictatorial nut is routinely firing missiles at your fellow countrymen, do you think that constitutes an imminent threat that needs to be responded to by eliminating the nut?
We will withdraw from Iraq when we achieve our goals of establishing a sovereign non terrorist government, destroy all the terrorists in Iraq, and make Iraq as the model for the new Middle East where other counties in the ME should follow. Any withdrawal before this is a defeat. We will not be defeated, we are winning this war, we will win this war.

Praise GOD that...
President BUSH has promised,
One way or another...
During a BUSH Presidency,
Freedom's Return to:
Communist Cuba
Communist Vietnam

Wonder how many of your fellow countrymen know which missiles and which dictatorial nut you're talking about?
I'd like to be wrong, but I tend to think few even have an idea how many retalitory sorties were flown against that nut long before the "official" war broke out.
Joe is a hero, and he is right. If you disagree, maybe you should take your blinders off and study the history of Iraq, and then talk to anybody who has spent time fighting over there. I was for the war in the beginning, but this man is right. The part where he is wrong though, is when we leave, nothing should be left alive in the entire country.

As we all use to call him in Vietnam,
