Good morning.
"They'll soon lose the appetite to kill each other."

You are buying into the Leftist myth that our people are driving around with targets painted on their chests, doing nothing but dying in a sectarian civil war, as opposed to the reality that they are steadily destroying Al Qaeda while planting a veteran US presence in the heart of Islam.

You are putting out another variation on the Left's "unwinnable war" line, one that says that we are not fully engaging and so will lose.

That certainly sounds like what jveritas is describing.

one that says that we are not fully engaging and so will lose.

We most certainly are not fully engaging. Al-Sadr should have long been cold and in a hole.

Read the rules of engagement. Our soldiers are driving around waiting to be shot at or blown up by an IED before they engage. We're not fighting the enemy, we are policing the enemy - BIG difference.

I not saying cut-n-run, I saying go on offense. Hunt the wanna be trouble makers; Sunni, Shia, jihadi terrorists of whatever stripe, and kill the SOB's. They want to be martyred, let's oblige them.

BTW - People having different opinions and viewpoints is a good thing. I don't like being scolded for not thinking exactly like an individual or group thinks I should. Talk about sounding like a leftist.
