Somalis.

Doesnt anyone remember than Bin Laden himself said American's withdrawl (read defeat) inspired him to think he could get away with 9-11.


Ill ask anony again, if withdrawl and defeat in Somalia, inspired 9-11, what would withdrawl from Iraq inspire?

I think Rep. Jones, and other politicians that continue to bring up the total of the dead...over 1700...

NEED to use some perspective in their thinking..of course, we all hate that anyone has had to die over there...

BUT, considering TWICE that many people die in auto accidents EVERY MONTH here in the US...it is a relatively small number of fatalities...

Also, I think one of the "practices or drills" for the landing at D-Day caused the deaths of more than 1700, in one day...in a PRACTICE...

Of course. I was thinking that we could not have debate in this country without encouraging our enemy.

However, withdrawal, in Somalia or Lebanon, only embolden our Islamic enemy.
