Snippy, I agree we need to drop the kid gloves treatment. I was really disappointed we backed down the first time in Fallujah.

But what I'm worried about are the critics on the left who are calling for a pullout or a "timetable." All those statements do is tell the terrorists to keep it up and America will cut and run again, just like we did in Vietnam, Lebanon and Somalia. What the Democrats are saying will lengthen the war and put our troops at greater risk, but apparently that doesn't matter as much to them as political gains.

You and I agree. My beef is either fight like we mean it or get out. I never thought I'd compare the WOT to Vietnam but with limitations on rules of engagement it can't be denied. Take off the gloves and fight like a man!
