troops will never stabilize Iraq, never, no chance the Romans failed, when using far greater brutality, and greater relative troop counts these Iraqis are the most difficult, belligerent, and combative among almost all Arabs they have a long history of NEVER allowing occupation we arrogant Americans expect greater firepower to prevail Iraqs have a long history of tribal loyalty without Saddam, this nation would probably have had a continual civil war, with Kurds, Sunnis, and Shiites bickering, then fighting, then killing, then cooperating, then bickering, then fighting, etc two months ago I predicted a Hercules air transport to be downed instead, they got a Chinook helicopter when I hear of new attacks and deaths, it sickens me but it validates my view ANY SANE OBSERVER COULD PLOT THE CHART OF US TROOP DEATHS THAT IS TOO COLD AND SENSIBLE can anyone notice that the attacks have escalated since our IDIOT PRINCE declared the War in Iraq to be misrepresented in the press ??? more troops will be met with more resistance some military clown was on CNN last night urging the use of a bigger stick a bigger stick means more downs Blackhawks and Chinooks and bolder response CAN ANYONE RECALL WE USED THE SAME ARGUMENTS IN VIET NAM ??? these are not terrorists our press labels them as Al Qaeda guys from Sudan, Yemen, Pakistan, and elsewhere they are mostly from central Iraq, in my opinion lack of study from history extends far beyond economics and into military history DOES ANYONE REALIZE THAT AFGHANY HAS REVERTED TO UTTER CHAOS ??? / jim
