On September 11 they attacked us where we were weak. Now we’ve 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.

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.

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.

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?

The truth about what's happening in Iraq is:

American soldiers are getting killed

In a good cause

That is well worth the price

EXCEPT

The American people are not prepared to pay the price

BECAUSE

The people need to be led in war to accept its sacrifices

And war leadership has been in short supply

BECAUSE

Not all politicians-in fact almost none-are gifted war leaders.

Our current deficiency in war leadership has been, up to now, non-critical

BUT

Given the execrable lack of virtue or even common morality among the RATs

The need for exemplary war leadership is about to skyrocket

AND

If President Bush cannot deliver, he is history.

These idiots on the news who count each fatality from the announced end of major fighting are doing more to hurt the cause than all the suicide bombers in Baghdad. One uses explosives and the other uses lies.

"Do not fear the enemy, for your enemy can only take your life. It is far better that you fear the media, for they will steal your HONOR. That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditching and shoemaking and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poorhouse."

~Mark Twain~

And history repeats itself . . .

The war in Iraq isn’t being lost in Baghdad. It’s being lost in America.

The only place America loses wars. I despise the America haters within our own borders.

Their objective was to attack women and children, businesspeople and flight attendants, in our homeland

Thank God there is still some analysis in media beyond the normal sensationalism, democratic party socialism and sexz.
