Another good day for our excellent troops.

Thank you soldiers for your work and steadfastness that none can compare to achieve.

American soldiers, victory and only victory is their goal.

Who says we are not sensitive to the Muslim culture? We just brought more joy to 50 radical Islamo-monstors sending them to their desired Valhalla! Looks like we are REALLY multiculturally sensitive after all!

Our military rocks! And the Iraqi military are coming along just nicely.

When we start letting our guys "stray" over the border into Syria to chase and kill the enemy they can see from the Iraq side of the border, we will be on the road to victory. Just like Vietnam, the enemy finds sanctuary. Thanks McNamara, er, Rumsfeld.

That's just what they want us to do. Remember what happened when that idiot wet behind the ears 2LT PL took his platoon and chased enemy outside the perimeter at Ia Drang? In a word, a-m-b-u-s-h

If we are going to venture into Syria, and we will, it needs to be coordinated and en masse.

Your analysis will seem flawed a year from now.

My analysis is that we do whatever it takes to kill those trying to kill us.

Your slam on Rummy seemed to indicate that you expect us to let Syria get away with its sanctuary role.
I don't think we will let that border stop us.
