Geez Loueeze how old is that post? Where have you been?

We do not know who is committing what crime in Iraq or even if it, in Iraq, is considered a crime. I doubt that Zarqawi cares about going after prostitutes although I suspect (but do not know for sure) the fundamentalist Shiites have something to say about that.

Before we entered Iraq, we were considered the lone superpower in the world. Two and a half years later we're bogged down, admitting that we cannot win militarily and are financing the creation of an Islamic theocracy in a loosely federated chaotic mess. We are also accepting $1 billion in foreign aid from dirt poor countries which feel sorry for some of our citizens.

These are not good things.

You can be upset as much as you like about Islamic militants but Bush sent in far too few troops in the beginning and refuses now to send in enough to GET THE JOB DONE. Our wishes and wants are worthless because we don't have the manpower to fix things over there.

That's reality thanks to Bush's incompetence.

On top of everything, we've run out of money. Adding trillions onto our national debt isn't the answer, it's desperation.
