Well written Kristinn, very eloquent.

Wow, what a post! AAAAAAAAA+ for that one, Publius

Oh BS, man! Not a single thing, eh? What gall. Rummy was Sec Def in Ford's Admin.

Yea I remember it well. I was active duty and saw the Hollow Military that was there before Jimmy took over. Not that he did any better though he didn't.

Follow me close here. One poster blasted a sizable portion of this forum for cut and run. No it isn't cut and run. Many understand what war is. Many others support it simply because Bush says to. The ones who scream woe unto you cut and runners need to pull the plank from their eyes about war and stare it's horrid reality in the face before they demand we go there. A reality I tried to describe. The Bible has the most graphic definition to it. I used that definition.

Some see the lack of will of our congress and most of the American people and see that as a nation they are not ready for war nor obviously is our current civilian leadership. As such it is not moral to send troops to die because of that. It doesn't make them anti-war or cut and runners but rather once who not wish to repeat the same mistakes over and over. Listen to what they are saying they have valid reasoning.

Name me some "cut-and-run" FReepers. Post the links of FReepers who openly advocate the Dim strategy of leaving Iraq. You can't. I guess it's so much easier to post childish images that was probably ripped from someone's MySpace webpage.

Then it is Clinton you have the beef with not Pres. Bush...and for you to include Pres. Bush in with Pres. Clinton....makes me wanna puke!

Then open up your shirt pocket and let it fly. It was George W Bush who said plain as day that He and Mr Gore were not that far apart on most issues.

The remainder of the 700-man battalion and the 3,800-man Stryker brigade will be returning over the next 10 days. (AP Photo/Al Grillo)

Yes, we are at war but it is not all-out war. I agree with your assessment that "While it may make no difference which instrument we use to go to war, we have to establish ground rules. Unfortunately, thanks to a failure of foresight, we are operating under Vietnam Rules. Unless we change this, we are going to lose."

Our security at home depends on ensuring that Iraq is an ally in the war on terror and does not become a terrorist haven like Afghanistan under the Taliban.

Mexico and Canada are a lot closer to us than Afghanistan. Until that wall is built it's all pr and sound bites.

First, we're working with political and religious leaders across Iraq, urging them to take steps to restrain their followers and stop sectarian violence.

I can just see our generals of yesterday doing something like that as the bullets are still flying?

Fight a war like it's supposed to be fought. Crush your ememies and bend them to your will and keep killing them till those alive realize they've lost.

I always supported Bush on Iraq, I want him to fight this war to win and bring our dear military home. It can't just keep going on and on and on with no end in sight.

The way to succeed in Iraq is to help Iraq's government grow in strength and assume more control over its country as quickly as possible.

I was reading the Iraqi blog today. According to someone there, our government and the Iraqi government are at odds with each other.

"There is currently a big goose egg under Cut and Run for FReepers"

Not a giant leap for a cut and run Fleeper to misrepresent themselves in a poll. Ya think?

Mam, the COLE response was well within the time frame for Bush to respond once taking office. October 12, 2000 was the day it was bombed Yes Clinton was POTUS. Bush was sworn in what 100 days later? But look at events that followed and showed a lack of resolve. The Bombers captured and placed in a Yemen prison instead of being handed over. No demands {serious ones} made for their custody. Then what? The prison just pappened to be where? Where several hundred Islamics gathered seveal times a day and a tunnel was dug. They escaped. The COLE Bombers are still out there. Yemen Yawns.

Not really.

I believe we took custody of the operation's mastermind al-Nashiri after he was sentenced by a Yemeni judge. It was al-Badawi who imprisoned in Yeman and who then escaped.

Also we got the operation planner Ahmed Hijazi with a Hellfire missile shot from a Predator. Hihazi was driving in a car in Yemen when he was killed by the missile.

Also...when you have sleeper cells in the USA, just waiting for us to start the bombing before they start suicide bombings in our schools and malls.

They do that, and their demise will come quickly. Americans won't stand for them blowing our children up. To some, 9-11 payback will come.

al-Badawi had 5 more with him didn't he? But my point was Yemen has been as much a terrorist haven as Iraq. Our lack of initial response first within 72 hour and then none in 6 months pretty well sent a wrong message.

if keyster is wrong, 'kiester' is wronger (potassium iodide ester??)

There are many variations.

I think there were more than 5 Cole Bombing prisoners who escaped with al-Badawi.

Yes, the initial reaction was slow. But the November, '02 Hellfire missile killing al-Harithi and the U.S. taking custody of al-Badawi in September, of '04 were certainly good messages.

Time for our side to change the rules.

Rule #1. Trash the epicenter of our enemies.

I always supported Bush on Iraq, I want him to fight this war to win and bring our dear military home. It can't just keep going on and on and on with no end in sight.

processing please hold some of us understand that more than others. I too have a son that has already served 2 tours in Iraq April 2003 to March 2004, Janurary 2005 to Janurary 2006 . Survived a suicide bombing during his second tour. Lost a few of his men during the 2nd tour. And now they presently have orders for their upcoming 3rd tour.

Nothing would delight my heart more than to know that he was safe and sound at home with his wife and child and the unborn one that is due right around his Iraq departure time.

However I am the mother of a son who loves what he does. He tells me mom, I am a soldier's soldier, a career soldier.

So I pray and bare it.

I was reading the Iraqi blog today. According to someone there, our government and the Iraqi government are at odds with each other.

For myself, from what I have read and listened to on news reports and the talking heads I would not trust Maliki even if he was in eyesight.

it was as a way to say he was good for something...


You could that....but at a terrible cost.

Of course I didn't bother to address any of the points. And it was your dripping condescension that was the cause of it.

If you want to debate, do so legitimately. Only a fool would engage in a debate with someone who looks at them with utter disdain.......and despite your hostile view of me, I'm no fool.

Just stop making things up about what I do and don't think. I'm an honest and serious conservative, and I only debate others who are the same......and right now, that's not you.
