What I cant figure out is why they think they can win, we killed the Taliban in Afghanland in about 6 weeks, something the entire Soviet Army couldnt do in years.

And we destroyed Sadams army in about the same time in the Gulf War

These guys have no idea what is in store for them, the Truman battle group 13,000 men strong just left the US shored headed for the Iraq.

Hunker down ragboys you are about to see the mother of all cans of whoopass opened on your sorry Islamic butts.

Can you say EMP weapons??????

What you are having trouble realizing is that this is not a set-piece battle where you move your tanks, I move mine, and whoever blows the other away wins. Let me say this. What upset me the most about September 11th was how brilliant the attack was. In one strike Al Queda won a major battle in their war to take down western civilization. The reason is that no matter what we do they've driven a wedge against Muslim and Christian. This is not to say one hasn't been there since the Greeks were oppressed by those ancient people called Persians, but that brings up a whole different discussion I'm not prepared for.
The fact of the matter is that there are 1 billion Muslims in the world. Are you saying we should kill them all? Do you really think we can bomb them all into submission?
The Bush administration is doing an excellent job using force where it is needed (like against despotic regime in Iraq) and embracing the Muslim faith as part of the fellowship of mankind (like he did today in Washington DC to celebrate the end of Ramadan). Our leaders are being both wise and courageous enough to see that sometimes we need the carrot to reward our Muslim allies and other times we need the stick to keep murderers from spreading their poison. I hope my fellow Americans share Mr. Bush's vision.
If we help lead this world with compassion and justice we will leave this world for the better. Long live the Pax Americana.
