It truly is an interesting read, I would like to know how one on the Left can answer his ideas?
I think he has a pretty damn good handle on the whole big picture!

Wow, that was a good read, though it took a while to read it all. I agree on most points of his, especially with the message Iraq has sent to other countries. Funny, I haven't seen him post anywhere...Was he a one time poster or something?
Anyway, Sweatmonica has proven he knows little of the military many many times before, though oddly, I find myself agreeing with him in one respect - we should take the gloves off.
The statement that the Iraq war is even in the same league as Vietnam is laughable.

AMM, I truly enjoy the fact that no matter what, I can expect your reply to anything, supportive or contrary, to be exactly how I picture it.
Back on topic, my ultimate point (which ALL of you missed) is that we need to fight this war differently, Unlike many of you, I want to WIN this war. I am so sick of hearing about a new U.S. military body count, I am sick of seeing the Cindy Sheehans pulling off dangerous and pointless protests (which will end in death). And I am especially getting tired of the "we're building schools in Iraq" garbage. Building schools? Is a single school for Iraqi children worth that much for the lives of our soldiers? I don't think so. I want to see our soldiers drop the hammers and pick up their rifles, get some more troops and armor on their side, air support, and tear apart anything that gets in their way. War is not to be taken lightly and we need to start seeing that our government agrees with that notion.
Again, I don't care if you think I'm wrong in that the Iraq War is the most mishandled war in history. You can choke on that notion for all I care. My point is we aren't doing what needs to be done. War is war and if you don't go to war with war, you're not gonna win.

I mean look at it now - you have about 40% of this country that thinks this war is certifiably wrong. They don't WANT to win. They WANT the US to lose, they want the US to LEAVE. It's sad but it's true. And the politicians have to deal with that 40% of people. The generals in turn have to deal with the politicians.
