I am wondering what you and other Pro Bush people are beginning to think about this Iraqi thing. Personally, I am beginning to feel we have either got to do this correctly or get the hell out. Here are my gripes:
1. I dont like the idea that we are "forbidden" to enter a city cause its considered a "holy city" yet the terrorists can go in there with impunity, rearm, rest, and attack us from there.
2. I dont like the idea that we are forbidden to attack Mosques, yet the terrorists can hide in them, hide weapons in them, and even fire at us from them.
3. I dont like the idea that we are sitting outside Fallujah for weeks now for fear of killing innocent civilians, while the terrorists use them for shields and the civilians seem incapable or unwilling to flee.
In short, IMHO we are still at War, to me War is War. There should be no let up, no sanctuary for the enemy and the objective and the safety of our troops should come FIRST. To save innocent lives we should ACCOMPLISH OUR MISSION as rapidly as possible. These recent actions IMHO have served to lengthen the War, strengthen the enemy, endanger our troops, and generally make it miserable for everyone EXCEPT the enemy. I hate to say it, but POLITICS has entered this war now and the SAME DAMN PEOPLE that caused us to LOSE in Vietnam are RIGHT THERE NOW causing us to LOSE in Iraq. So, I am coming to believe we either KICK THEM IN THE ASS, go forward with this thing right OR GET THE HELL OUT NOW. I know this is long, but wanted you to see how I am beginning to turn and wonder if any of you feel the same. jdn |
