yeah well...  could of told that before US attacked Iraq.

Now, I hope US will also stay in Iraq despite the casualties and create the democracy in that country.
If the troops pull out anytime too soon, the US better not veto in UN or do wars anymore in the name of 'homeland defense'.

I think the failure here is the Republicans are not send any of their war heros to Iraq.

They relying upon middle class Americans - mostly minorities to do the fighting.

If Rush, Karl Rove, Ashcroft, Bush (the Vetienam Texas National Guard hero who never showed up for duty), and the rest of all the patriotic draft dodgers in his cabinet had gone to Iraq - they would have found Saddam and all the other terrorist - or at least they would have died trying...

Wait the Republicans don't have any war heros besides McCain and Powel.

Wasn't it Bush who said "Bring it on."
Tough talk from a sissy draft dodger.

Bush and his rich buddies pick the fights and average Americans pay the price with their lives.

Oh yea, the dems are rife with war hero's. :rolleyes:

Wesley "I love genocidal maniacs" Clark

or

William "Coast Guard Willie" Clinton

Nexus...

Get off the partisan BS. Republicans and democrats are the same on this issue. They're in power because they are generally wealthy and connected. How many millionaires do you know enlist?

Yeah, we should send J. F. Kerry over there.  He'll do some professional ass-kicking on the bad guys regardless of race, age, sex or religion-kill them all, diversity. :(

Yeah Pinochet is right on in Maggie Thatcher's books. He was a big help in squashing those Argies in '82.

"The objectives and methods of the terrorists and ambushers in Iraq are not hard to fathom. Their strategy is twofold. First, if each week they can kill five to six Americans, along with inflicting a few million dollars in damage, they hope to weaken public opinion here at home to such a degree that we might precipitously withdraw and leave a Lebanonized Iraq to the law of the jungle: bad for everyone else, good for them.

I've been taught with different meanings for the defense and offensive than some of the americans.

Perhaps it'd been the best kind of defense for US to stay away from the middle east issues?
Like not supported Saddam and used veto right to save his arse.. etc.

That might work.  I prefer the "beat the crap out of anyone that looks at you funny , take what you want, then leave them to rebuild their broken country" approach.

 According to some researchers' opinion, they must kill 2 americans per day for a few months for US troops to retreat into firebases and the the public support for the war to collapse.
