Don't be silly, you win absolutely nothing that way. We're going about it exactly right. If you bothered to read the Iranian thread you'd know the affect Iraq is having on that country. I also read today that some of the terrorist organizations are bouncing checks (including the checks they issued to turn out those massive "arab street" protests.
Iraq is pretty much like building a building. A couple of months go by and you don't really see much happening and then suddenly, the walls go up, the roof goes on, the building is fleshed out and people think these things happened overnight. They didn't.
There is a LOT going on in this war on terrorism that people don't see unless they look hard, but there is a firm foundation being layed that will support the next phase very well.

"Terrorism may use religion as a disguise, but terrorism violates every religion and every standard of decency and morality." Sorry, I don't think the President get's it yet. Terrorism doesn't violate every religion. Those who take Islam seriously wouldn't and don't agree with the above quote Mr. President.

... but terrorism violates every religion and every standard of decency and morality."Does terrorism violate Islam and Islamic morlaity?
(I have a Koran, but I find researching it to be tedious at best and it's usually almost incomprehensible for a Christian since I have a different standard of evaluation than an Islamic would)

"We've already said the major combat operations are done; yet we have 156,000 soldiers, airmen, Marines and sailors in the region, and many say that we don't have enough."May I ask you were your military experience stems from?
You seem to be questioning military strategy in the aftermath of an armed conflict, and I would like to know your level of expertise on the subject.
During World War II, the last formal surrender by Japanese troops occurred on June 30, 1951, five years and 8 months after the conclusion of hostilities. Japan was occupied by U. S. forces until Sept. 8,1951.
You think we should have been out of Iraq in how long?

OK then, we are going about it wrong. We need to outlaw Islam, nuke Mecca and/or Medina and pave the entire area. Are we doing that?

They didn't.That's a pretty good analogy, and you are right; I should be more patient.

I don't think we should have been in there in the first place.

I don't understand your objections to what I said, which was in order to kill all the terrorists, we would have to nuke Medina and/or Mecca, and destroy Islam. Are you, like so many liberals, under the illusion that Islam is a religion of peace, and that Islamic nations can be "reformed" into democracies?
To: Poohbah
Hehe...serves the "protestors" right for not insisting on cash.
To: Cacophonous
I do, I think it made a whole lot of sense to do so.
We were attacked on 9/11, we know a few concrete things about those who attacked us.
They despise us, they seek to destroy us, and they hide in that shadow world where no one country owns up to them.
We have to destroy those people, or they will destroy us...those people are Islamofascists.
Saddam Hussein "had" the strongest and largest Armed Forces in that region of the world, so you take him out first, and use his country as a staging center for taking out the rest of the scumbag governments sponsoring all these terrorist activities...one by one.
Too harsh?
Look at the pictures of the people hoding babies out the windows at the Twin Towers, and remember the choice they had to make, drop them to their death, or hold them until they burnt to death.
Sophies choice was easier.
Next, we take out Iran, and keep the Saudis in the crosshairs.
And we ravage THEIR soil with war...not ours.

They DID insist on cash...so the Islamists wrote ("kited") checks.
Vinnie, Luigi, and Rocko are looking for 'em.
The need to beware of people saying "Salaam Aleikim to youse" with a New Jersey accent :o)

It wasn't me who removed your post which was apparently in violation of posting rules. If you have any questions or concerns, please direct them to the owner or his agents.
You will find that conservatives are big on justice, and being a loon calling for nuking the Middle East is pretty high on the injustice scale.
