How can you win hearts and minds.....

It was Flavor Aid, damn it! I'm tired of Kool Aid getting a bad rap!

I for one am glad that someone is out there fighting the battles that really matter. Would you ever consider running for public office?

LOL. I tried to rep you, but I need to spread some around.

speak the truth.

Iraq is helpful in allowing the Bushies and their loyalists to get their war on. Bush got his revenge on Saddam, and that is what is really important. The almost 4,000 deaths since then are only details.

makes you wonder why the anti-bushies don't do something to stop it...

So you belive a month old Kimberly Kagan article over focus groups conducted for the U.S. military ?

Wow you are deluded.


AFb the Iraqis seem to be telling us over and over to leave.

Why is it you want to continue to occupy their country?

Where did I say they don't want us to leave? The point is, they are not ready to run their country on their own. It is kinda like my 11 year old telling me he is ready to stay home by himself for the weekend. Could he do it? Probably, but he is not ready.

And I have said in the past that I want my brothers and sisters in the service to come home. Most likely, more that most people because I have close, personal friends over there, people who I have worked with and been friends with for years. I really don't want any more people to have to go over there in 10 more years so I would like to have the job finished correctly this time. Would you rather have a half assed job done? I have been over there about 10 times in the last 15 years, I think we should make this trip the last.

one of the best thoughts ive seen in a long time.

" Hearts and minds " has always been bullshit. We dont want em to love us. We just want em to get their shit together so we can get out of there.

If we hadn't gone into Iraq in the frst place this would all be moot, now wouldn't it.

Since the downsides of NOT invading Iraq are impossible to evaluate, we can't really determine what would have been the better decision, now can we ?

As much as she lies, she must write speeches for Hillary
