....."my fears have been realized. We're going to leave with our tails between our legs, just like we did with Vietnam. I'm going to guess that we kill Saddam before we go, so we will be able to claim a victory of sorts. But as far as pacifying and occupying Iraq? Not a chance".....

....."And the fact is that we're very likely to kill Saddam soon. I would not be surprised if the surviving Baathist leadership surrenders. But none of that is the problem. The real problem is pacifying the Iraqi population. #reply-18743693 "

Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "Interesting, considering that this sentiment is diametrically opposed to your other frequent opinion, that the US doesn't need Europe or the Mideaast for anything, and should just withdraw all troops, close the bases and stay home."

Our troops don't promote globalization. Our business does.

It's McDonalds that's pacifying the world, not the US Marines.
