Listen to it and it may give you some reasons for not being in Iraq or going even further and entering Iran or god forbid anywhere else.
Sorry but entertainers do not influence me on political issues. He wrote a catchy tune that repeats the average age of a Viet Nam soldier, 19, about a thousand times, and I'm sure he made a heck of alot of money from it.

How's this for the newest anti-war motto....
We are winning...so let's quit!
If you want the troops to come home, let them finish their job! Otherwise the situation will worsen, and we will have to go back.

Imagine how secure our borders would be if our million world wide troops came home and stopped illegal immigration and played catch and release with the current illegals in the country (with some discretion).

Bring the troops home to their families, let them do their job on U.S. soil like it was suppose to be.

I have the logic of someone that's been in the fight since October 2001. I believe in total victory against the enemy. I believe in fighting a war until it's won, not trying to appease the people that are trying to kill us.
And I agree with you 100%; things are being cherry picked by the media. "5 US troops killed today" is always plastered on the newspaper, but not that Civil Affairs opened a school, or that Special Forces stood up a trained unit. Or that when those 5 troops were killed, they killed 20 of the enemy and wiped out a terrorist cell in the process.

excuse me, but the people of iraq trying to kill american soldiers aren't trying to kill US. they're only trying to kill the people invading their country that blew everything in it to hell.
if they left and apologized for the wanton destruction, things would probably cool off towards americans.

and nobody speaks of the 30 civilians killed in the same attack...
that's also cherry-picked by the media
nobody points out that when we attacked a hospital in fallujah, we committed a direct war crime that resulted in the deaths of civilians... which would lead to a punishment by death to the president under the US war crimes act.
nobody brings that up at all
nobody mentions how the iraqis level of nutrition has been going down
or how many are starving
we just hear about what we care about, how many of our people are dying
well, screw OUR people, i want to know how many people died total. our people are important, but they aren't more important than any other people

pkspeaker: Of course they have safe havens in Syria and Iran. Of course, if the military has a press conference about that, everyone freaks and geeks and screams, "Bush wants to expand the war to Iran!!!!"

The real reason Bush doesn't expand the war to Iran is that the US is militarily contained in Iraq, if they try to attack these 'safe-havens' in Iran, Iran will unleash devastating missile attacks which would break the US military in Iraq..the only thing stopping Bush from attacking Iran is Bush and his military advisors, just like how the US could not attack China or Russia during the Vietnam war.. since the end of WWII there is no 'total victory' against the enemy and it's just a matter of time before Iraq has to be lost.
