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

Unfortunately, dead soldiers are a part of war. However, this pussyfooting around is needlessly costing us lives and *that's* what pisses me off the most.

I may be wrong, but isn't this a war? 412 (estimate) soldiers killed since April while a full invasion of a country has been taking place. That's not too bad. 45,000 soldiers were killed in the invasion of Normandy, and that's not a full count.

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?

I'm damned sick and tired of dead soldiers too but more than 3000 Americans were incinerated on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001 and the brave men and women in our military don't want that to happen again. I mourn every one we lose but I also realize they are the only thing that stands between us and total destruction. It's bad enough that these men and women have to battle the enemy over there, they shouldn't have the people at home go wishy washy on them.

I'm "damned sick and tired" of people who have no sense of history.

Remember it wasn't military reality that lost Vietnam, it was the steady drumbeat of negative public opinion either unable or unwilling to accept casualties.

The same thing can happen in Iraq, then what do we tell the 27 million Iraqis left in the lurch?

A man was killed at Fort Sumter during the surrender and President Abraham Lincoln has bowed to national sentiment and withdrawn to avoid further casualties.

Several thousands soldiers have been killed storming the beaches at Normandy, General Eisenhower has resigned and President Roosevelt has promised the angry nation that a new General will be appointed who will not put our troops in such a dangerous situation in the future.

His Majesty's troops put down a minor rebellion in the colonial towns of Concord and Lexington today. When fired on by better armed British soldiers the rebellious villagers fled. Those traitors who had been preaching rebellion in the colonies were captured and hung by other colonials angry at the loss of life at Concord and Lexington.

Osama bin Laden, in a safe-house in the tribal areas of Pakistan, watched as his young associate browsed on the internet connection. "How do you see their morale Abdul?". "Sheikh, I am looking at a site most dedicated to the American soldiers, some have lost their will due to our attacks. If the people on this site lose their will, then their morale is very low indeed."

"Good, keep watching closely. You see I was right, this is just like Somalia and Lebanon and Vietnam. Their people are cowards, their news media are traitorous, and they will all make their soldiers run again because of their weakness."

Just what our enemies like to hear. Go back to DU

I'm afraid GWB isn't mean enough for this - the irony is, if he took off the gloves his poll numbers would sky rocket. The American people would see that as an effort to protect our guys which right now we see as being used as bait.

They never ask that question in the polls - should our forces get tougher, act like this is a war? These people do not think the way we do - they aren't grateful for the powder puff treatment they received instead of "shock and awe." They think we were either incompetent or not tough enough to really crack down as was needed. Saddam was given another chance after the Gulf War, did he react with gratitude?
