Iraq was one of the few countries that taught girls under Saddam.

       b. Train some more ... coming
4. Rebuild Iraqi infrastructure
       a. Add 8 Gigawatts to electrical grid ... check
       b. Rebuild water and sewer to better than under SH ... check
       c. Rebuild over 2500+ schools .... check
       d. Distribute textbooks for same .... check
       e. Train 30k+ teachers ...... check  
5. Set up a Democracy:
       a. Write a constituion.... check
       b. Ratify same ..... check
       c. Hold parlimentary elections.... Dec 15th, Check

This is the picture of defeat?

6. Hold casualties to a minimum.
       a. 18 months and 2100 dead.  Horribly unfortunate, but less than we lost on Utah and Omaha on D1.  Less than a third of what we lost on Iwo.  We didn't stop then...  

it's about 1/30th of what we lost in three days in Pennsylvania.  It's time that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation shall have a new birth of freedom...

So once again Torque, the only possibility if you have family fighting there is that you must oppose the war. That is the argument that you are making, right? Because only people who can support a war policy are those who have no direct relations fighting in that war.

So you certainly oppose the 911 afghanistan war then, right?

Maybe a typo maybe not but why would Sadam let the US disband his army BEFORE the invasion?

The majority of the US peopel feel the war in Iraq is not going well, therefore, the war is not going well.  Raise your hand if your smarter than the majority of the US people.

This war needs to be won. It MUST be fought. If not now then within the next 20 years on a scale far, far larger than this one. We need every able bodied man to do his duty.. and we need relief for the kids that have been bearing this incredible burden.

So, lets give the kids a break. Help 'em out.

If your under 45 years of age, enlist. They'll take you. Take that kids place in the line.
