I don't want my grand sons wearing Burqas either!

All I can say is pray.

Yeah, I hear ya. I pray it will work, too. But this isn't a new approach - this is stay the course - with more troops. Something that could have been done a long time ago. I pray that this does not escalate things. I really do hope it works - because if we lose Iraq - the dems will be in power for a long, long time...

my point is that the discontent is more with the way it's being waged than the fact it's being waged at all.

I think that is a perception almost entirely manufactured by the MSM and traitor Dems. When you have record numbers of men and women volunteering for 2nd, 3rd and 4th tours in Iraq and Afghanistan it's ridiculous to think we're 'losing.' If we were really losing the treasonous MSM would have no trouble at all finding disgruntled soldiers to put on the tube every day. But they don't. All they have is their body count and video of violence. A body count that's barely higher than the one in New Orleans.

It's not just a troop increase.. this can make a big difference.

"Reid, "We as senators have had no ability to have any input in the president's position on this."
That's because you don't want America to win!!

[goldstategop]

A lot of linguini-spined Republicans want to distance themselves from Bush because their concern isn't America's national security but their electability in the next election.

I wonder if Bush will pardon the soldiers/marines that are/were sentenced for the Haditha overreaction?

Or--

Are we going to tell the troops to "git er done," but still send the awyers in right behind them?

I remember the myth there were no WMDs being pushed even as we located mobile weapons labs, as Zarqawi tried to launch a chemical attack on Jordan, as a ricin stash was found in Europe originally made in regime-backed and funded terror camps in Iraq, as pathogen samples in Iraqi scientist's fridges stored for future use, centrifuges being uncovered which had been intended to be prototypes to reestablish a nuclear program, a long range missile program much more advanced than originally thought, drones rigged to disperse chemicals or spores, ungodly quantities of "roach spray" [think VX] stashed in thousands of barrels in military bases, caches of chemical warfare delivery systems out the wazoo, finding out terrorist cells weren't just in northern Iraq but were also operating and training in the use of poisons in Baghdad, noting that Iraqi WMD scientists were being assassinated to keep them from talking, an attempt to use a filled binary chemical shell as an IED that naturally didn't work, and satellite photos of trucks leaving for Syria from al Tuwaitha, the terrorist base and WMD research center which turned out to have an underground city of additional labs UNSCOM never knew about, weapons facilities submerged to this day in groundwater, Iraqi scrap from their weapons programs being found in European scrapyards, the recent chemical weapons find just last year, etc...

But then, I'm not one to be distracted by meaningless Donald Trump / Rosie spats. ;-)
