"How is saying Iraq is a mess disrespectful to our military? Get a grip"
YOU need to get a grip.
I guess you never talk to FReepers that have been in Iraq.
I guess you never see the good news that Ragtime Cowgirl posts.
I guuess you never visit the FR Canteen.
Get out and learn the REAL facts, not MSM "coverage".
What are the real facts oh anointed one? Tell me the good news. Is Sadr City is safer than the South Bronx? Is Falluga no different than East Saint Louis or West LA? Things getting better doesnt mean that things arent a mess. If Iraq was the US would you consider the same amount of bombings and abductions to be just normal crap? You get real. You dont have enough confidence in Bush and our troops that you have to fight every imagined dissing.
