It all sounds good Chuck, now tell us what they've done that's going to do what you want. All I've seen is actions that compound the problem and increase the risks. The "we're going to remove them forcibly" rhetoric sounds good to every one of us because we all agree they should be removed, but the question is how are you going to remove people you can't identify or find, and how are you going to do it in a way that doesn't result in thousands replacing the few you do remove? It's too important an issue to lend itself to feel-good solutions that aren't solutions at all.

maybe things might have been different if France, Germany, Russia didn't convince Saddam we would not invade Iraq. Maybe Saddam would have come to the table and shown his plans , weapons.. Hindsight now. Perhaps if turkey was trying to shake us down for more money , commitments our troops might have come in from the north and this triangle would not have continued to be a problem. But it appears Turkey was also looking out for their self interest... We know under the oil for food program France and other countrie's hands are not clean.. These are the same countries Kerry wants to turn our troops over to in Iraq for assistance. Same as he recommended in 1971 he would let United Nations run our military. Most of these killings are paid thugs. The killing of four Americans was a staged event with cameras and the dragging of those bodies to get Americans to pull out. It seems to be working for democrats. Ted have his way he would pull out. But then i wonder if Ted ever faced up to any responsiblities.
