We had the right idea going in. But we're screwing it up now that we're there.

Such utter BS! What has been accomplished to date in Iraq is incredible - The change of the Country over the last 3 years is amazing in itself - The values of freedom and self-worth are taking hold and spreading -

But yes it is a war zone (in some sections) - Our enemies hide among everyday civilians making situations not only difficult and dangerous but often incredibly frustrating.

We are fighting a pure evil that hides within that Country - A pure evil that has chosen to face us there and we are kicking their as$ -

How the Murtha's of the world, the DEM leadership and the MSM carry the cause for our enemies (and against our warriors) is flat out disgusting.....and without question does not help......But regardless we are clearly winning in Iraq (and Stan).

Only the resolve of the American citizens back home could effect an otherwise inevitable complete defeat of our enemies.

God bless these two soldiers and their families. Justice will be brought to those responsible....of this I am 100% certain.

We have made those wonderful accomplishments in country despite our blunders there and the loss of the lives of soldiers that may have otherwise been saved if our tactics were different. I don't want to denigrate our victories there. But I think the human cost of our soldiers has been greater than they would have been otherwise if we'd kept military policy above political policy there.

As for standing for our soldiers at home, ask anyone in the D.C. Chapter and those who stand in front of Walter Reed Army Medical Center every Friday night if I've stood for the troops at home.

I think that we need to get back on track in Iraq and achieve our victories in ways that don't require the sacrifice of American lives to the PC policies created back home.

I'm afraid you know little about the region and less about Islam. The values of freedom and self-worth are NOT spreading nor can they spread when Islam holds such a central position in the region.
