The Taliban has been crushed? Huh, they control most of the Afghan hinterland and have attacked US troops at an increasingly alarming rate. Bush put inspectors into Iran and North Korea? Huh, the IAEA inspectors were in Iran before Bush was elected. And they still haven't found anything that shouldn't be there. There are no inspectors in North Korea. Not one.

If for no other reason than responsibility (maybe some people have forgotten that word); we can never leave until the situation is at least a satisfactory one. You don't just go around the world blowing things up and then pick up your toys and go home when the going gets tough. That is what terrorists do. I would like to know just what people thought would happen when we went to war? Flowers and tinker-tate falling from the sky? Wake up and get in the real world. War creates death and atrocities for both sides, fundamentally and necessarily. The ONLY way to turn Iraq into "Vietnam" is to leave. We don't need less troops in Iraq, we need more... like 3 times more. "Shock and Awe" should have continued until the entire country was utterly pascified and begging to do anything we told them to.

I think that we're learning a lot about the real world we live in. President Bush was right to invade Iraq and Afganistan. We had a DUTY to show the world that we WOULD fight if need be, after eight years of being such an obvious paper tiger. IMHO. the jury is still out on Iraq. To put it more bluntly; the jury is still out on Arabs. We've spent so much treasure, more than any other nation COULD, on the Arabian Experiment. If we're smart, we'll prepare ourselves for one of two possible outcomes. #1. Iraq gets it's sh#t together and becomes a beacon for humanity in the middle-east. #2. The experiment collapses into expensive chaos. There will be lessons learned from either outcome, IF we have the will to embrace them. Option 1 would be the best, of course. It would prove so many of the sayings we've heard over the years. "All men want freedom" and "Democratic societies don't invade their neighbors". I would be thrilled if these were the lessons to be learned from Iraq. But should option 2 prevail, we should be prepared to learn THAT LESSON as well. That lesson would be that Arabs are not ready for self rule. And that some groups of people will CHOOSE evil over good. If we ever have to fight those people, I suggest nuclear weapons. To kill our enemies like the old days. Fair, "schmair!" Fight to WIN! Invoke FEAR in your enemy, not understanding! I don't know how all this will turn out. But I suggest we prepare to learn the lessons of Iraq; whatever they might be. Some interesting comments!

Much like the progressive campaigns in the Pacific Islands and southern Europe in WWII. Iraq to the west, Afghanistan to the east: pincer movement. The longer the engagement continues, the more things like this will happen: it comes with the territory. If the President has no intention to attack Iran, then we have long ago reached the point of diminishing returns. He should take his own advice about 'nation building' and methodically disengage. Let the locals sort out their own future. I have been supportive of this war as a staging area for an ultimate attack on Iran and/or Syria.

There were 39 combat-related killings in Iraq in January. In the city of Detroit there were 35 murders in January. That’s just one American city.

FDR led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us, Japan did.There were 450,000 lives lost. Truman finished that war and started one in Korea. North Korea never attacked us, but 55,000 lives were lost.

John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire and 58,000 lives were lost.

Clinton went to war in Bosnia. Bosnia never attacked us. He was offered Osama’s head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions.

In the years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban,
crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Libya, Iran, and North Korea without firing a shot, and captured Saddam who slaughtered 300,000 of his
own people.

The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking. But it took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51-day operation.

Our Commander-In-Chief is doing a great job!
