When my brother was in Najaf, the locals would invite them into their houses for ice cream and home cooked meals. They would give the U.S. Army "thumbs-up" when the RPG's started flying, as they dove into their homes. The mayor of Najaf asked the U.S. to destroy the mosque, he asked them to FREE the city from the terrorists. A Marine platoon was handing water and candy to the kids in Najaf, terrorists came out of an alley and opened fire on the kids. When the Marines returned fire the fled. When they went in to help the kids who were wounded another group of terrorists came out from the other side of the street and killed two of the Marines - the whole thing was planned.
yes, innocents are killed - it is a war.
If we are in there for oil, why aren't we taking any? why are our prices so high still? wouldn't the prices be going down BEFORE the election so Bush could argue against Kerry when he blames Bush for the high prices?
We didn't finish the job in Afghanistan, because we aren't finnished with the job in Afghanistan - More troops were stationed in Afghanistan after the invasion of Iraq than before.
Bush can't work from the Pentagon - he's the president, it would be illegal. I have NEVER known ANY president to actually go on vacation - even while golfing they are on the job, it's like being at work but posting on DiscoWeb.
He's trying to do what his daddy could not because his daddy didn't. I would hope that any president in office would try to complete the job that other presidents were not able to do.
Did we feel like invading France on D-day? Did we feel like liberating France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Kuwait, S. Korea, etc.... no, but we did it because we knew it had to be done.
Stop following a person who thinks 20/20 hindsight is leadership.
It's interesting how Kerry already has an ad up and running in response to a story out of Iraq that wasn't supposed to run for another 5 days from now... No, Kerry isn't working with the media.
I like how a story that is over 18 months old is being re-run on the week before the election, with a twist so that it looks like it is actually Bush's fault that the explosives are missing. 380-450 tons of explosives don't just dissapear - Saddam had to make sure the right people got them. I wonder if they went to the same place the WMD's went??
I certainly hope the president doesn't make decisions based on how he/she feels.
