I dont think Syria need worry about the 200 extra engineers, I doubt they'll have much effect on anything.

why are we waiting? Why didnt Bush destroy Syria, Iran and North Korea on 9/12/2001. All three nations are sworn enemies of the United States. I bet you those leader bastards were all hunkered down the day after the towers fell and the Pentagon was attacked! Bush is a (female cat)!

Whenever someone asks, "How many Iraqi troops have been trained?", they get an asnwer of over 250,000 or so. Big number.

Recently a US senator qualified that question and asked a US military officer, "How many Iraqi troops has the US military trained up the point that they can conduct autonomous security operations?". The answer was about 3,000.

At this rate the US would have stay in Iraq for decades in order to get the Iraqi security forces ready.

By all means, please back your statement up with some facts like military knowledge (firsthand) or by having been an advisor on the struggle in Iraq.

I know several folks who are or have been there and are movers and shakers, not just "do this"... they say that the biggest problem the US faces is the lack of resolve (think restraint) brought on by misguided public outcry from the out of touch liberal idiots in this country.

"The quicker the Iraqi security forces become fully operational the better. They will, undoubtedly, use whatever measures they deem necessary to secure their country against terrorist threats from outside their borders, employing methods that would leave our political leaders breathless."

The methods they are using today on the threats from outside their borders are leaving your political leaders breathless.

which methods are you referring to pongo. So that I may better understand you please try to be more specific when discussing facts.

Texans could easily control the border if they would untie our hands............without the troops.

Whoop-dee-do, you aren't backing up your claims with ****. Just with more claims. Your friends can claim what they want about liberals losing the war, but that doesn't change the fact that your senate, presidency, and house are ruled by Republicans. It doesn't change the fact that after years of occupation, the security situation in Iraq is constantly deteriorating. And it doesn't change the fact that Rumsfeld decided to do the war and occupation on the cheap, not the liberals.
