If we let this communique stand, we are slapping our own military in the face. No other way around it. Bring them home!

OK I condemn it but it ain't time to "bring them home"... even with an exclamation point.

Then you understand that you have just given the "militants", remember they aren't "terrorists", the right to kill American Troops with the sanction of the Iraqi Government. I don't know any other way to look at this, and if we let this stand, it will cause problems not only in Iraq, but in Afghanistan and other middle eastern countries. We must be very clear on this point. The days of trying to define a "terrorist" are over. We know who they are.
