This is STILL a W-A-R

not according to the White house. Or did you miss the news?

GWB is missusing the military - they should have a lot more people in there and cut freedoms until the bad guys are out - but that isn't PC is it?

I don't care if the Arabs like us - but we do have the means to make them respect us. While American boys are dropping at about one a day, I think we should be much firmer. If the military is doing police duty, get them the numbers they need to do it right.

I frankly think if we go in to a war we should go in with guns blazing and conquer – totally - to the point that we take over their schools and teach the kids English and capialism. We should be installing Capitalism – but GWB is installing Socialism in Iraq.

I’m no peace nut – but when we use the military let us make gains the last – otherwise we should have stayed home. (I would have been in favor of using a nuke or two to encourage mass surrender if it avoided risk to our men.)

It's patently obvious that you, not I missed the news. The president said that the " combat " part is over; not the war . Do at least attempt to keep up and quote things correctly.;^)

And your credentials as the exemplar of THE " expert " on war and things military are ... ? You don't know the first thing about this sort of detail.Your way would NOT be better; it would be far worse and also far more detrimental to our goals in the Middle East!

Try researching what it was like when we were doing the same kind of opperation in Germany, after Hitler fell and we were STILL fighting off the Japs.You might actually learn something and at least it would broaden your myopic, ill educated opinion.

Frankly, you haven't a clue. You're all bravado, talk, and little in the way of brains. This isn't the 12th century, or earlier. Heck, even the ancient Romans didn't fight the way you want 21rst.century American to wage war. Your view is that of a child, playing at war.

Ah yes, converting the Iraqis to "free" capitalism. Rap, Mtv, mickey dees, dominos, kobe bryant, and the burger king should awaken them in no time at all. Well maybe in another thousand or so years we can always hope.
