That "elite" that's supposed to be running this war is GWB and I'm damned sick and tired of dead soldiers ...

Get a grip on reality ... more Marines & Navy personnel died on the beaches of Iwo Jima in the first hour of the assault than died in Gulf War I (Desert Storm) and in the Iraq conflict to date. You're buying into the liberal media drip, drip, drip (another soldier died today ... the 400 or so since the conflict began in March) propaganda. We're at war folks ... remember 9-11?

You've got a point there. Important to keep perspective.

I don't have to buy into anything - I've had family members die in all these "causes" and believe me - dead is dead whether it be one or 500

The media has worked hard at turning the American public into wimps incapable of defending themselves or even recognizing that defense is needed. We had a surprise attack worse than Pearl Harbor, on CIVILIANS, and yet we have people who are so blinded by touchy-feely new age concepts of war that they are incapable of responding to an event as large as 911 on their country. Its so bad that even alleged conservatives have gone sour.

Can one imagine half the people in the US wringing their hands and moaning about casualties in the war against Japan? Ummmm, no. The saw Pearl Harbor and they knew what had to be done and how painful the cost was going to be.

I haven't agreed with all the tactics in this war, but it is a war and rolling over and showing our bellies is rather STUPID with enemies like these.

Thanks for putting this into perspective. This shows the enormity of our success in this war.

I have yet to read or hear on ABCCBSCNNFOXMSNBCNBC

that our Afghanistan+Iraq combat deaths are nearing 15%

of our military and civilian men, women, and children

murdered on 9/11, an otherwise beautiful late summer morning.

Since then and in all probability, we shall forever be engaged in this islamist Terror War of annihilation, as perfected in Israel by "civilians", until Americans demand that this war be won, by our sovereign America. Until then, this is islam's war against our economy, and our hearts and minds, as PBS et al. remind us of our daily, weekly, monthly, yearly body count made famous and useful in the broadcast of LBJ's Gulf of Tonkin War.

Old Europe with Russia and China will sit back and watch as we're demoralized by our heartache and our socialist politicians' UN mantra.

A soveiegn America is a problem for the "world socialist movement's" fascist foreign and domestic leaders and islam alike.

The war between islam and the UN will be fought in the 22nd Century, unless we win this this war during this generation's opportunity, while we retain our sovereignty and liberty.

We must fight both islamists and socialists in this two front war. The DNC-Politburo wants us ruled by judicial fiat because their brand of socialism cannot be Constitutional according to our RATIFIED Constitution, the very one from which they derive any and all of their lawful powers.

Our very lives and liberty are the prize in this 2 front war. Our socialists believe that they can deal with islamists later, as if the Chelsea generation will be above the Sharia in addition to their "sovereign immunities", another convenient "compelling State interest" in the USSA.

We are never more than one election from losing on both fronts. Dar al socialism and dar al islam are both dangerous fascist doctrines.

"We're at war folks ... "

The Bush administration had us believe the war in Iraq was won. Clearly they spoke and we listend all too soon -- which leads me to believe they're in a situation they did not expect to be in. I believe they do not know what lies ahead which I find troubling. They keep trying to compare Iraq with Japan which isn't logical -- the Japanese didn't keep shooting our soldiers once we "won" that war.
