Looking for names, not wanting to call a friend whose son serves with 82nd, and I find you muttering to yourself.

I’ve gotta post this somewhere, and with you here it’s one of those, thank God for small favors, eh?

The Democrats are directly responsible for the death of these soldiers. The Democrats give aid and comfort to the enemy by announcing that we’ve “lost” the war, and by announcing to the enemy that we’ll abandon the battle. The Democrats are the enemy within, taitors who deserve death by hanging.

Note the title says car bomb kills, instead of Islamist terrrorists kill and the use of the words militant and insurgents instead of Islamic terrorists or Islamic extremists. We’re killing ourselves, in essence, because we glorify the evil and damn the good!

Soldiers who fight and win? Or sitting ducks who are trying to “keep the peace” and “police” the streets for democracy. I say we return our men to the role of soldiers who fight and win.

“And Mogadishu.
Bin Laden said Americans won’t have the stomach for a prolonged fight. Even freepers are proving him right now.’

We are all emotional and lost great Americans today. Our men and women are the best trained and equipped military in the world. They want to do their job and kill the enemy. The President had his moment of stupid conservatism and is fully making sure ass-kicking can and will commence in Iraq and also Iran (although our action will be limited there, thanks to the left). Remember something. Our military is voluntary. Soldiers go to battle and some do not return. We grieve for them but let’s not further insult them by crying out doom and gloom. Our military is fighting them there with a 50 to 1 kill ratio. The bad guys will come here and inflict 50 to 1 on our civilian population if and when the military leaves Iraq. They are truly dying for each and every one of us. The self-centered asswipes on the left want to cut and run, like Vietnam and this time, the bad guys will use nukes from proxy terrorist countries we are fighting.

Anybody with a brain on this forum knows that Bush was right, Iraq, Iran and North Korea are an axis of evil. Our enemies are pushing back against us in the Iraq battlefield. However, they cannot face our troops head on. What does that tell you? The only real battles our enemies have scored on is doing their research for 30 years in how to manipulate global media. The media war must continue to intensify first against the left and then globally to make countries aware of who the real enemy is.

It's the IDIOTIC rules of engagement, folks. We have finely trained, tuned fighting men who are sent over there.....and not allowed to do what they are trained to do. Their jobs are to ride around til they are shot at or blown up

That's what I have been told by others. We're really not over there to actually defeat the insurgents, we are basically locked into a holding pattern waiting for the Iraqis to become competent enough to take over the reigns.

Your right and this is just not about Iraq,it’s about fighting Islam. They have said they want to take over the world and they have said they will attack us again,I think we must believe them. Where is the leadership in this country as a whole,we are all so very divided.Why does there have to be a greater attack on US soil for people in this country to understand the enemy.

"It’s time we treated Iraq and afghanistan like Germany and Japan.
COMPLETE OCCUPATION "

The time for that is was past GONE!. Therein lies our mistake.

The mistake was not the 'going to war' action, like the Lib traitors want us to believe. The mistake was in NOT treating this war campaign like Germany and Japan. Bush and Rumsfeld wanted to fight this as a "PC" war, and it has cost us dearly!

This a true book case of "winnning the war and losing the peace"!

People.....

Listen up.....

THE U.S. MILITARY WON THE WAR! It's high time now for the IRAQIS TO WIN THE PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
