Yes, it is a strange world of intrigue and often I agree with my friends that say we know very little of what really happens, ala, The Matrix. To me it seems pretty simple in Iraq. I'm not debating whether we should have or shouldn't have attacked Iraq. I have some serious reservations about whether it was the most effective way of fighting the jihaddists. But we are where we are and we have to go forward, not backwards, wasting time with finger pointing. The real enemy is the cowardly jihaddists terrorists. So where do we go from here? The arms aren't being flown in and they don't come by ship. They are coming over the boarder from Iran, Syria and /or Saudi Arabia. I'm not speculating. It's just logic. Santa Claus ain't delivering them by sleigh. We have satellites that can see 1 person walking around. We must know where this stuff is orginating. Why don't we do what the Israelis do? If we see the stuff coming from Iran, we bomb 'em. If they're firing rockets from a mosque, throw in some of those advanced CIA smoke bombs and get 'em out of there. There is a lot of incompetence that is costing US troops unnecessary casualties. Bottom line, the Iraqis have to stand up and say they want freedom. Maybe they can't fight right away, but they sure as hell could protest en masse against the terrorists. If they aren't willing to do that, I say we should get out, maybe keeping a base or two just for our own protection against the OILogarchs, tyrants and Jihaddists.
