We're Losing In Iraq

[Big Train]

OD, I appreciate your attempts as well. Let's just say we are miles apart on this one.

I know all about the Carylye Group, the no-bid contracts etc..I don't draw conclusions about stuff unless I can directly see the connection. George H.W. by the way, stopped lobbying for them before his son became President. I make it a habit never to assume, as you have here. Modifying your analogy, where money goes, a trail follows. If there was a connection, any number of people who could follow the trail (not to mention a foreign banker who would love to drop a dime) would be all over it.

The US Army is more than cannon fodder, but there job is to engage the enemy. And they have done a remarkable job.

I think you would prefer an isolationist option that doesn't exist. If there were such a thing, I would probably agree with you.

I just remember pitying Israel (blame not withstanding) for their situation being constantly attacked by guerillas in Lebanon and at home.

Now the US gets the same thing and we should have seen it coming and done a lot more to preclude it. First thing, much more should have been done to seal the borders of Iraq, at any cost.

We're not losing in Iraq and anyone who actually talks to soldiers who have returned from there would understand that.

Talk to Sarge.

He WORKS with the returning Soldiers

HE says we've FUCKED ourselves big time over there.

So much for your blanket generalization.


How about we ask those coming back in boxes?

What's this WE shit? Last I heard Iraq was made up of 'IRAQIANS'.

Last I heard, they are now readying to have a free election of their leaders.

Last I heard, more people in Iraq are glad that Saddam is gone.

Last I heard, the suicide bombings are being condemned by Muslim leaders.

So what is it exactly that we are losing? Could it be that some of us are losing our nerve at seeing some of this bloodshed and want to turn tail and go home?
