The United States or 'Collation' is completely owning the Iraqi Military. I mean complete domance. Its only a matter of time before its over. Days, Hours, Weeks... Right now we have only had 100 KIA and over 8100 Confirmed Iraqi's who have surrendered. I wish I was older and could have gone and joined the military and liberate the Iraqi people :D Instead, I'll just bash the Anti-Bush and Anti-War folk. My god, we are owning....

I'm curious. If we were getting our butts thoroughly thrashed with U.S. causalties in the tens of thousands would you still wish you were older so you could have gone?

I appreciate your desire to be part of an a$$ whooping, but I question your understanding of the conditions our troops are living in even in these "good" times.

Our military (and the British as well) has exhibited an extraordinary amount of competence and professionalism under fire, and this has inspired a certain amount of legitimate pride in our armed forces and in our country. This is perfectly understandable and justifiable, but it's worth remembering that war is never something to take lightly. It should be avoided if possible, but when you have to fight, fight to win.

Good luck! Now and in the future. Maybe some day your service to the nation will be equal to some of those anti-war/anti-Bush people you want to bash!

Why would we go to war with them? They haven't even started the reactor again, they and Iran are both making dramatic changes in their public attitudes. Saw a US poll that showed Americans would support actions in NK and Iran, Syria as well if it was proven they helped Iraq in this conflict. I doubt we will see anything like that with NK and Iran.

All they are doing is wasting their time, have you seen opinion polls on this? The only ones listening to them, is them.

Why does winning or losing have any bearing on whether or not we were right to have this war, or whether or not Bush has handled his presidency properly? I don't think anyone had any doubt we would win regardless of thier stance on those two points.

And BTW, since we are there, I'd like to see us go on and clean out Syria, then cool it with the wars for a while.

US intellignece says it hasn't been.... They cite probable technical errors, not exactly what NK would say publicy, "We're gonna fire her up, as soon as we figure out how to fix it..."

You credit the survival of America on their voice? LOL, Freedom of speech precedes them and will continue after they are gone, some made a good case against this though..........

My point is they are basically preaching to the choir, the only ones listening is the MINORITY in this country who agree. The policy has been determined, the action taken, their protesting will accomplish nothing.

Yes I do. Without a vocal dissent Democracy and the Republican form of govement CAN"T survive. Actually their protests accomplish the most important thing possible. They prove that WE(Americans) can still voice our disagreement with our goverment.
