We are fighting thugs and terroorists--sending two more battalions to Iraq makes no sense. This is an admission that the Iraqi people (the Iraqi Army) does not care about fighting for their own freedom.
On Sept. 11, 2001, President Bush said, "We will make no distinction between those who committed these acts and those who harbor them."
Iran and Syria harbor terrorists. We have not done jack about that since 911. The IEDs that are killing our sons are being built in Iran.
Also, Iran is building nukes. What has Bush done about that since 911? He sent them aid after earthquakes--TWICE!--since his 911 promise to"We will make no distinction between those who committed these acts and those who harbor them."
We should be sending cruise missiles and F-15Es into Syria and Iran, NOT sending two more battalions to IRaq to fight the Iraqi Army's fight.
Set priorities.
You cant do it all at once, and our personal experiences bear that out.
You chip away
Savage is that you????
This might just be a predeployment for phase 3, Iran.
