Funny, Murtha couldn't state the obvious when Hussein was living in a NUMBER of palaces, moving every 24 hours, using decoys that looked like him and the Iraqi's were being murdered at his Saddam's whim---including his sons-in-law.
Of course our troops have stuff the locals don't. The locals can have all they can work for when they stop the insurgency- turn on the radicals within their midst - stop the border crossing of radicals from other countries who keep the terrorist fires burning- etc.
Then our troops will come hime. I don't believe we will ever get the gratitude we deserve for stopping Saddam. Look at France. This generation has no idea what language they would be speaking in France if we hadn't stopped Hitler.
Ungrateful is the major word to describe the world in general. One the one hand, we get yelled at for not contributing ENOUGH to poorer parts of the world, and on the other hand we get yelled at for going in a stopping Saddam and like dictators who are destroying their citizens. I give up.
"I give up."
Don't give the bastards what they want, RTM. Be spiteful and smooth........
