this administration has been less than truthful and pushing a religious agenda which begs for intolerance of others...the media is going overboard but dubya is just getting what has been coming to him
If that is your defeatest attitude then it is really sad. I wonder how the world would be different if Americans took that attitude during the Battle of the Bulge or the Japanese march through the Phillapenes?
Saddams regime has either all been killed or captured, there are only a handfull that have not been accounted for. The majority of those blowing shit up in Iraq are foreign terrorists, and if anyone thinks that us pulling out of Iraq will make that stop then I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. I would much rather fight terrorists on the streets of Baghdad than on the streets of NYC. To think for one minute the War on Terrorism will simply not follow our troops home if we do not win it over there is shear ignorance. Just today there were 17 people arrested in Canada trying to plan and commit a terrorist attack. This war needs to be won and we need to do all that we can to win it, otherwise my son will be fighting this war and he is not yet 2.
