What's the price of Iraqi lives?--US military is behaving more like Barbarian hordes

Then why haven't we sacked and raped Iran yet? I call BS.

We carried out a brilliant military campaign to get to "third base." But we are not going to win this war until we bomb the Sunni Triangle, and go through the rubble stone by stone to get rid of the vermin. To be polite we should drop leaflets and give them 72 hours to vacate. Otherwise by fighting this war with "one hand tied behind our backs," by waiting until we are shot at before firing back, and by failing to do what has to be done to win, we will go the same path as other recent initiatives such as Vietnam.

Read Melanie Phillips, fine British clear thinker and writer(Londonistan a current bestseller) and no sycophant for America, as an antidote to the thundering Heard.

I called Murtha's office today and was in the process of telling his aide that I would be contributing to his opponent's campaign, when she hatefully interrupted with, "Thank you very much, Mam", and hung up as I was trying to say something. I called her back, and told her she had just hung up on me, and I thought that was very rude...that I could have been a constituent. She interrupted again and started talking in a hateful tone, so I hung up on her! Tit for tat, and now I am as rude as she was! However, I do feel better for having done it!

Your claim that our troops wait until being shot at is not accurate.

Thanks for the link. I just ponied up $20 for Irey. If everyone else here would do the same, we could make a real difference in November.

"...surviving family members were offered a shameful $2,500 for each of the 15 dead"

IMHO one Marine is worth more than any Iraqi, dead or alive.

[jazusamo]

Yes, I don't blame you and thanks for helping Ms. Irey.

[CMS]

I'll let you know. When I get back from deployment i'm getting quite a few differnt ones made up. if you'd like I can freep-mail you th examples once made.

[Coop]

Thank you very much for taking a stand for Diana and our troops and against that pathetic piece of trash, Murtha.

Thanks for the link. I just ponied up $20 for Irey. If everyone else here would do the same, we could make a real difference in November.

Indeed. Even if folks cannot afford to make a financial donation, they can still bump threads, write letters to the editor, send Irey campaign info to friends/family in PA-12, etc.

We can take our country back and score a victory for the ones who most deserve it - our military personnel deployed in the war on terror.

[Coop]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[Cannoneer No. 4]

If you gave them 72 hours to run away what's the use to rubblize empty buildings?

Iraq is a sovereign country now. They can demolish the Sunni Triangle if they feel the need. We shouldn't.

Vietnam is a "recent initiative" to you?

[P.O.E.]

Jenjis? Zat you?

> She's an American-bashing b**th!

"b**th?" Hmmm. "Birth?" "Berth?" "Badth?" "Bplth?"

[HarleyLady27]

God Bless you Sir.....May God be with you every minute....and Thank You for keeping me safe....

Please keep in touch and let my former Marine husband and I know how you are doing ..... again (salute) Thank You!

[ExpatGator]

Yes please put me on the list, since I now feel as if I'm an investor!
