On September 11 they attacked us where we were weak. Now weve tricked them into attacking us where we are strong.

I'd rather the terrorists gather in one place where they face well trained, well armed soldiers rather than take on civilians who are unarmed and not trained.
Additionally, in post war Germany, Hitler supporters were killing our soldiers in numbers that are hard to pin down, but it went on for years. Their favorite method was stringing wire across roadways and garrotting our soldiers. A recent History Channel program devoted an entire show to the matter.

Our beloved 'non-partisan' media has a vested financial and ideological intrest in portraying this the way they do. I hope they enjoy making their blood money off of dead American soldiers.

On Sept 11, 'they' attacked us where the government had disarmed her citizens and left them vulnerable.
" Since we went into Iraq, the target of international Muslim terrorism has been American servicemen in Iraq.
Good.
More than good. Wonderful."
What an idiot.

Not an idiot. Lonsberry's point is that we took the war to the terrorists and the terrorists are now shooting at people who can, and do, shoot back.

You're correct. Terrorism is a world problem - nearly every country has been attacked by terrorists - and I'd far rather the bad guys face well armed soldiers than civilians.

Saddam lost his chain of command. In fact, he has lost a good deal of anything to command. The various fedayeen Saddam troops infiltrating the borders from Iran and Syria (and Saudi Arabia, for that matter) are coming to the killing fields, to "lay down their lives for Allah", but the great glory will die with them, a truth that has not yet sunk in. The best part of this war is that it is being conducted on somebody else's real estate, most notably the real estate the enemy claims as his home base.

>>What an idiot.<<
I think you are missing the point. It is not good that they are attacking our troops, rather, it is good that they are targeting our trained professional than our kindergarteners.

Pretty simple. I would hope more realize that FREEDOM in Iraq means Freedom in the USA. Why do we think any country should not be free?
Do we complain when there is a policeman death, or a baby, woman, man, child? Those are the true victims. Fires, Car accidents, Robbery, are all bad also do they not occur since Iraq was liberated. The news is so bad its not funny.
FR is a place for discussion and we have to remember most dont have a view of the whole picture.
Thank God for the first Admendment.

I doubt you would characterize it as a 'good thing' in the style and bravado of the author.
People are dying, and I am sure, in supporting the troops, you believe they deserve better than an internet hack declaring their deaths are the result of an intentional policy of placing American solidiers in a position to be targets for terrorists.

Then why did the author say it was a good thing?
That is all well and good that the author takes no responsibility to protect himself or his family, but its gutless to advocate a policy of putting a man or women in harms way half a world away as a stand in for terrorist targets.

JohnGalt said it all, "idiot" he just said it to the wrong poster.
JohnGalt a little to the left, a little more... more, now down, way down, keep going, almost there... OK now take a deep breath, squeeze gently... the report... Yes JohnGalt the correct target is (was) BillClintscum.

He said it was a good thing because we have put trained professional soldiers against these thugs instead of our moms and dads, sisters and brothers and mostly our children against them.
No death is a good death, soldier or civilian. At least the soldiers have a fighting chance. My five year old does not.

The liberals and the press crave for another Vietnam. They are trying their best to create an Iraqi TET any way they can. They are succeeding. Did anyone else notice a shift in Fox news to more cynical reporting of positive things and more visibility of negative?
