Another brilliant post.

We are doomed to fail in Iraq as long as our troops have to fight the enemy, a seditious press, contemptuous politicians, self serving career officers and an apathetic public. I can guarantee you WWII was much more vicious than the war in Iraq. The only difference between WWII and the present conflict is that our troops in WWII only had to fight the enemy.

Those of us on the right that shout support our troops and then condemn actions at Abu Grahib, and Hidiatha, are contemptible, sunshine patriots. Support our troops means exactly that. Support all our troops. When fired on in battle, any response deemed appropriate should be accepted and condoned, even if subsequent analysis finds it to be improper. Our troops must have the latitude to fight this war! Just as our police and border patrols must be allowed to do their jobs with all weapons at their disposal. The military can handle and discipline its own on the battlefield. We don't need investigations designed to look good for the liberal press and the rest of the world.
