I wish that after midterm elections, Bush would grow a pair and say what the hell, I am not going to run again and the country is just more important then politics, then turn our full military loose with the orders to win this war with whatever means necessary. You would see a huge Republican win in 2008.
They are not kids. They are brave men and women who put their lives on the line of their own choice. We should stand behind them instead of telling them they are just dumb kids who can't handle it. Better yet, turn them loose and let them fight.
Dim talking points.
Fighting a global war takes time. I don't understand how people think we should be in and out of there in just a year or two. Patience.

Indeed. In fact, if the Republicans would stick to TRUE conservative principles ACROSS THE BOARD they might never lose again.
As far as "winning the war by whatever means necessary", to me, that is the ONLY way to go to war. When we are truly at war then let's truly make war utilizing our full spectrum orf resources and get it over with. The quicker the better for ALL concerned, but most especially the Iraqis whose hearts and minds we are supposed to be trying to win with this....ah......limited engagement.
War should be TOTAL; nasty, brutish and short. That is an ugly truth, but it is indeed as simple as that.
Our guys are doing some real good over there. Its so different then what the media tells. Thats alot the problem. People are listening to the constant bad news from the media. How would anyone even know if we have victories when the media would refuse to report it. We are being brainwashed by the media and alot of people don't even recognize it. Everyone who is giving their analysis of whats going on over there, have they actually been there?
Finally a voice of reason.
Indeed it is, but our wimpy politicians are too scared of the dimwits to act.
who's saying that they're dumb--don't put the Cindy Sheehan argument on me.
Maybe not dumb, but the word children for our fine men and women just irritates me.
