There will be no graceful exit from Iraq. We need to make sure it is a strong one.
      We've already won.

      We have accomplished what we set out to do....twice.

      WMD's?....okay, there weren't any, next....

      Saddam, his sons and the Baath Party?..Gone. Now what.

      Democracy? WTF????

      Their problem.

      Mount up and move out.

          Look, man....I don't know it all and apparently I am ignorant to the response in Somalia. This may sound shitty but it's not meant to be. If we did respond I am ignorant of it. Also, the campaign in the former Yugoslavia..,...Clinton took ground troops 'off the table'. Our fly boys weren't permitted to fly below 10,000 feet or so I gather. Could one assume that America will not tolerate casualties? Fuck that word....I hate that word. Deaths! Could one assume from the actions taken during these two conflicts that America would not tolerate the death of their soldiers? Know your enemy.

            At least someone who went to Canada left the country instead of insulting the integrity of the US Armed Forced by hiding out IN the country....
            Bush did nothing to destroy the integrity of the Armed Forces while he served, Mr. Rather.

                I don't toss any more lowblows than anyone else here. In fact, I toss less.

                At least I can call people by their actual handles, without resorting to third grade slings.

                I love you too, NICK.

                    Well, when you give me proof he wasn't in the Reserves, then I'll believe you.

                    Until then...

                        You can leave any time you like if you don't like what I say.

                        I thought you enjoyed it around here.

                          It's not that you're "ignorant."

                          But there is speculation that the Warlord most responsible, Aidid, was mysteriously assassinated by sniper fire not long after the debacle of "Blackhawk Down."

                          Speculation runs rampant, but he was killed on the same day the operation's commanding US general retired, so.....


                          This may sound shitty but it's not meant to be. If we did respond I am ignorant of it. Also, the campaign in the former Yugoslavia..,...Clinton took ground troops 'off the table'. Our fly boys weren't permitted to fly below 10,000 feet or so I gather.

                          I understand what you are getting at. This is a leftover from the Vietnam War, and largely driven by the 90's vintage military senior command (who were privates, lieutenants, and captains in Vietnam), not necessarily Clinton.

                          But I think the Iraq War debacle shows we are willing to take casualties and spend money (blood and treasure) when we feel threatened to the point of irrationality...

                            Depends on what his definition of the word "in" is.......

                            Harriett Miers knows...she spent alot of time "cleaning up" his record before others could see it.

                            It's already a thread.....go and see....

                              Did she clean up what his commanding officers said years ago as well?
