As much as I hate to say it, I'm going to have to agree with them. I'd like to see the US crush them but it will never happen. The media, squeamish lefties, and RINOs worried about reelection in 08 will not allow it. Our country, sans most on this site, no longer has the will to win. AQ might not have the best military tactics but they're smart enough to learn from history. We pulled out of Vietnam, did nothing in Iran in 79, did not retaliate in Lebanon in 83, ran in Somalia etc. They know that just have to stick it out and wait for us to fold up from within.
We will put in 25k more troops, hang around for a few more months, and then pull out. Our leaders will justify this by saying that a US military presence is no longer needed as the Iraqis are well trained and can secure their country.
Before I get flamed, please realize that this is not a slander on our military but frustration aimed at the left, media, and our leadership.
I'm not going to flame you, because I understand your point, and your frustration. I'll just say this: if push comes to shove - and trust me, friend - it will - even most of the Idiotarians amongst us will understand the need to kill the enemy before they kill us. And even if they don't - there are millions of us ready, willing and able to take up arms. The Islamicists think they've got us confused and demoralized, which makes future aggression more likely. But they have no idea how fiercely we'll fight when it is our neighborhoods, our homes, and our families that are threatened.

What if this is factually correct by that time?
