"Most people I know don't agree with goin over to Iraq and playin mammie maid. Go kick some @$$ and get the hell out. People I know can't understand the out of control spending on the Federal level, most are completely puzzled by Bush's relationship with Fox and the flood gates have remained open---wide open."

"So stop hangin' around lefties."

LOL. ..

BTW, I think our Marines and soldiers in Iraq would take GREAT EXCEPTION to the mammie maid comment. Every day, we are killing terrorists in Iraq. It's not pattycake ...

"WASHINGTON, May 12, 2006 – Coalition and Iraqi forces killed three insurgents in two separate incidents, and the Iraqi National Police discovered a large weapons cache in Baghdad between May 10 and yesterday.

Coalition forces killed one insurgent and wounded another as they were attempting to plant aroadside bomb east of Hawija in Iraq's Kirkuk province yesterday.

During a nighttime aerial reconnaissance mission, helicopters from the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, discovered two insurgents digging near a road in an effort to place a bomb. The aircrews shot both insurgents.

A ground team of soldiers from 1st Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 4th Iraqi Army Division, and 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, moved into the area and confirmed that one insurgent was dead. The second was wounded but was not found at the site. The ground team also discovered AK-47 assault rifles, hand grenades and several ammunition magazines. The bomb was made up of artillery rounds and was destroyed in a controlled blast. "

Your good, I mean your really good. How did you know I was a Lefty, you found me out, your good.

I am not disparaging our troops. You missed the mark on both counts.

I was referring to zero combat deaths in the initial invasion in both Gulf wars, it was only after we started playing mammie maid (policing the populace) when the death toll started to mount. I believe the troops love kicking butt, they just don't like being sitting ducks.

Our troops realize great success everyday, but we are also taking pretty significant casualties.

I have never been for cut and run, but if your gonna be there, elevate man power substantially and give them more assets to finish this damn thing.
