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.
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.

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.
