I'm reading an astonishing number of comments on Free Republic these days by posters who have joined the ranks of the anti-American left in calling for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq. Some claim to have military experience, some claim to be patriotic Americans and some claim to be smarter than the rest.

I've seen no evidence of this at all. Regardless, a cut'n run poster would be ZOTted. Ergo, I don't see the purpose of this thread.

Cheers.

The war in Iraq is lost.

I haven't either and I agree with your sentiments.

This in response to the question: We are killing them over there, what is the alternative?

I dont either.

Are we supposed to simply accept fighting the SAME way we've been fighting these past three years, when it seems the terror-insurgency just keeps getting more resourceful and powerful?

I want to win as much as anyone, but I am having trouble identifying our enemy.

Is it Sunni militia?

Shite militia?

Bathists loyal to Saddam?

Sunni's loyal to Syria?

Much of this mindless violence is due to intramural fighting by people who pose no real desire to join a global terror network.

Many just want revenge against those who killed THEIR peeps, and they will take out a US Marine or soldier if that soldier is in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Cobra, I was on a thread yesterday where there were dozens of people advocating cutting and running.

There was even mockery of our troops' success in the mission.

THIS THREAD IS MUCH NEEDED!!!

(Sorry for shouting).
