Beating the bushes about cluster bomb failure rates is just more press noise.

Well, call it an attempt to contribute to perfection :) Obviously the US Forces, all in all, are more humane than most armies of the world. There is no raping, looting, torturing by US soldiers as it was practiced in WW II by German, Russian, Japanese and other armies.

If we are not willing to take definitive action to eliminate oppression, who will?

If I could vote on it I would be in favor of expanding the German special forces KSK from the current about 500 to 5000-10,000. I bet that specops contributed significantly to the rapid advance in Iraq. I hope that the civilian part of the Iraq effort will match the professionalism of the military.

unclewest, Thank you for that. Every single word. Hopefully, you will be able to say those words to the world, and hope the world will have an opportunity to listen.

We truly live in:
Land of the Free BECAUSE of the Brave!
