From the AP just moments ago:
"An American soldier was shot and killed Thursday while manning an observation post in Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad, the U.S. military said. The soldier was from the 101st Airborne Division's 3rd Brigade Combat Team, part of which is participating in the airborne sweep."
Don't you see?!?! Bomb them - just bomb the crap out of Samarra...Our guys are dying while the elite are picking their butts 3,000 miles away! And Bush wonders why his ratings are low. He's showing weakness. He has to be strong. He has to give the enemy something they understand - power and force. I CAN'T STAND THIS!!! :-( We are fighting a pansy-a$* war! Why are we afraid to do what has to be done! It's all talk and no action.
We have to be premptive, we have to get them before they get us - but for God's sake - we're not getting them! We haven't learned to fight their kind of war. God help us!!!
Of course, this is just my opinion.
The only thing that explains it is we are fighting a war to spend money.
