Okay, you admit that you don't have the slightest idea how the war in Iraq is going to go, LOL.

Hmmm... I guess you don't understand english Bilow.. I said I don't know how many losses will be sustained. All I care about is the result being worth the loss of any lives.

All I care about is that people like yourself aren't able to create such self-doubt(and self-hate) that we leave the job undone before we depart Iraq with at least some semblance of stability and governmental accountability to the people in place.

But for a soldier, it's what he does. Your attitude is one of "mine is not to question why, mine is but to do or die".

No.. I think most soldiers I have served with were more afraid that their deaths would be for nothing, because people like you spend more time undercutting their efforts, almost praying for them to fail so you can say "I was right", than you do in wishing them success and safety.

They are there Bilow. Get over it. There are only two alternatives now.. Use our resources and will to finish the job and meet the mission of turning Iraq around for the better, or admit that it wasn't worth the effort and loss, and leave right now.

And I'll tell you what.. It's attitudes like yours we despised the most during my time in the service. Someone who continues to armchair quarterbacking the 1st quarter when they are in the middle of the 3rd.
