the point is whether this is one where we SHOULD cut our losses no, we should not. and, if so, whether the cost is justified. why does everything come down to the almighty dollar for your type? It's becoming more clear that we will be facing a guerrilla force that is comprised of at least several factions no, what is clear is that terrorists are attacking our forces...and I am here to ask you, if you do not wish to face them in Iraq...when and where DO you propose that the USA confront them.....because we will be forced to do that very thing. It was critically important that the Bush Administration be right when it told us that the Iraqis would welcome us with flowers and open arms BS..you are spinning...many did...the terrorists will never welcome us...the radical Islamists will never welcome us anywhere on earth....you know it , I know it. Our "liberation" or Iraq has left many average Iraqis with no voice in their government, no choice in their police force, no jobs, no security for their families, and at the beck and call of armed foreigners who don't speak their language or share their culture. your name Hussein? look at the council...although picked by the US, look at the diversity of the council...what voice would they have had under Saddam? What choice in police force did they have before...now, there is a now a professional in Iraq(I believe a former police chief of NYC?) training Iraqi police to become pro-active and not just sit back in their compounds taking appts. for any trouble...it takes time to train them. What security did they have before? Oh...you mean the mass graves are security? the torturous prisons are security? draining the marsh lands for Saddam's pleasure was security? Maybe you think their government was the Iraqi's security. Executive branch?....... SADDAM Legislative branch?..... SADDAM Judicial branch?........ SADDAM You are correct..it is not rocket science. It is a war on terror and it will be a long struggle. You can thank your President for accepting the responsibility of taking on this task.
