Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "And I like to think we're choosing our own battlefield, rather than letting them choose it for us." Just because you "like to think" something doesn't make it even remotely true. Bush chose the battlefield, but he failed to choose wisely. If he'd known in advance what he was getting in to he wouldn't have left the occupation so badly planned (as you yourself admitted at the time). Hope is not a plan. What you're trying to do is to fight fire with fire; that is, to fight violence with violence. Fighting fire with fire only works when you have good intelligence about exactly where the fire is, and about exactly what the effect of the fires you start will be. You have neither. Osama bin Laden is still running around loose, but even if he were not, his minions would still be multiplying. US military occupation stirs up the locals against us. The number of attacks on our troops continues to increase. Just a couple of weeks ago you were talking about the secret information you had about a great victory against the enemy. Now the month of October has ended. It was one of the worst ever. Now our guys are talking about having to INCREASE the number of targets we have in the country. -- Carl
