If we get into a position of taking 50 KIA and 250 wounded a week for months, do you think that would present a problem militarily or politically? That's quite possible in a general uprising.
You expect me to answer a hypothetical and pessimistic question like that? Maybe SILLY chicken is not strong enough?
You folks need to get a grip. This is war, not policing. People die. Stop looking at this from a political perspective. One could almost argue that the insurgents are taking their clues from the American media and Ted Kennedy if you want to go there. I don't.
They are trying to shake our resolve, with assistance from our own media. Are you going to let them? Or, will you put your heads back on straight, and stop acting like flags in the wind, flapping with every breeze from the media?
The 'problem' belongs to the enemy, who I trust will be dead sooner if not later. When we kill enough of them, they will not be able to depend on the media to help them.
What do you mean almost?
OTOH, if those a-holes in the bath robes are taking it on the chin like I hope they are, in a month or so Drunk Teddy will be down to blaming Bush for pot-holes and hot summers and keep his scotch-hole shut when it comes to foreign affairs.
BTTT...Can't be said enough...
