That is a load. The military has had free reign to do what ever they needed to do in the past four years. Everything from seceret prisons to secret operations and mercenaries paid for that could avoid the Geneva Convention rules on war. Now we are onto 4 years going into the fifth.

Do YOU have any idea what it takes to win a war?

Are you saying it is ok for us to lower our standards of ethics in order to win?
Fight the good fight, and die with the enemy's heart in your hand.

There was a political cartoon in the San Diego Union-Tribune (SignOnSanDiego.com > Breaking news from The San Diego Union-Tribune: Classifieds, entertainment, sports, hotels and visitor information) this morning. It showed the Sunnis and Shiites, looking like worms out of a can, fighting each other.

The reasoning of the cartoon was it probably means that when the USA and its allies went to war in Iraq, it opened a can of worms, meaning the two factions fighting each other, and the US is in the middle of it. And the USA should get out.

We all need to be patient. . . the terrorists are patient, and the War on Terror may just take 20 more years or so to win.

20 years is a long time, yes. The Sunnis and Shiites been fighting each other longer than that. I wished it didn't have to come when our men and women are over there, though.

Our men and women are making a tremendous sacrifice to ensure our freedom and safety. . . they are more honorable than most people can ever dream of being. . . we should be eternally grateful to them (to say the least). . .

When you say that, are you implying that America will be better off under Islamic control?
