Dang I just want to know when we are getting our troops out of Germany and Japan...didn't end that Democrat war like 60 years ago? (LOL)....

I, for one, do not want to hear another of our generals urge the American people to be patient. Patience favors the enemy. And our generals have the responsibility to our brave troops and this nation to deliver certain victory, and that responsibility rests first and foremost with the commander in chief.

Ouch! Lou Dobbs rips both sides of the aisle a new one.

Agreed...it goes this way, War is a horrible affair but the more horrible we make it the more both sides will want to end it. (W.T. Sherman paraphrase). I wonder how it would be in Iraq if in the opening days we had started with a rolling barrage like the Gulf War. If when we found terrorists in safe havens of Iran and Syria we had gone in and destroyed the camps and put all to the sword.

I think there would have been howls of protest but the war would be much shorter.

I have posted previously that I don't think that we should leave Iraq.

But I don't see anything being done to make this situation better.

We've got a military in both Afghanistan and Iraq that is asking for more troops.

But all we can do is head to some NATO meeting and beg and plead for the Germans and Canadians to send more.

We seem frozen and reactive. We just sit around and wait for bad things to happen.

RL is right....I really think we need to start looking at whether we want to give the LSHs a safe haven like Laos and Cambodia were. If we think they have one...I say hit it. I MEAN HIT IT> You get an target you dump so much on it the cockroaches die.

Then you look for the towns that are giving into the LSHs and give the residents 12 hours to come out through a cordon where they are searched. Possession of a weapon means you are a spy and we leave your corpse in the desert head pointed North.
Then you level the city. I bet we only have to do it once.
