I'm disgusted that our hands are tied by political correctness and fear of Big Liberal Media and Democrat politician. Instead of flattening the entire city with the force of 1000 daisycutters, killing every man woman, child, dog, cat, rat, camel, donkey and roach in that Godforsaken hellhole, we are risking the lives of our soldiers, needlessly putting them in harm's way.
Now we are pulling out, which makes us look weak and indecisive--just what the iraqi people do not need to see. Especially after the first Gulf War is still fresh in their minds.
Why did our fighting men die in Fallujah if we are going to pull out? It's as if we said, "Oooh oooh! Geez! They were soooo tough! Too tough for us! We can't beat these guys! Let's get out of here! Oooh oooh!"
Our own troops don't like this BS. Despite the fact that before they were given the orders to pull out, they had to fight the war under New Jersey State Trooper rules--Shoot only when shot at, which is complete garbage in and of itself. Bush is a moron. Ultimately, this falls on him. I am so tired of this idiocy.
Instead of George Patton, we get George Mc Fly. I guarantee China has gone orgasmic over our apparent ineptitude.
I assume you are posting from some battalion in Iraq, and not from a lazy-boy in Duluth. A tough guy like you volunteered to fight in Iraq, I'm sure.
