<<...Marine Chopper Crash Kills 16 in Kuwait...>>

Tim: Its sad....Unfortunately we launched this 'pre-emptive war' in a sand storm.

Now we have soldiers and the press rolling across the desert of Iraq -- live on CNN....those going into Baghdad first may be in the greatest danger...we have put Saddam's back up against the wall and this is precisely the time that the CIA said he would be the most dangerous...If he fails to be wise enough to escape my hunch is he will fight to the end in Baghdad -- urban combat with the possibility of unleashing some chem or bio WMDs that would be tragic for our soldiers and for innocent Iraqis.

Was this military adventure over in Iraq really necessary?

Iraq would clearly be better off without Saddam as a leader BUT we should ask much tougher questions (and Congress should have A REAL DEBATE) before we get into 'the regime change' game.

My thoughts and prayers will be with our troops and their families...No worries about the chickenHawks in Washington...VERY FEW of the political folks in favor of this war ever spent much time on the battlefield -- that should tell you something.

regards,
