Yes, I support our troops. I don't want any more of their lives to be wasted in the utterly hopeless environment of Iraq. I have said it before, and I say it again: The elections of Jan 30 will result in NOTHING positive. If at all, it will turn the present sorry situation into an even sorrier one. Go on, and keep singing the same song for another 5 years. It wouldn't make one bit of a difference. Btw, Brent Scowcroft also said that this is getting messier and messier. Is he in bed with the Iraqi terrorists too?!

Brent Scowcroft said in a speech Thursday that the Iraqi elections "have the great potential for deepening the conflict" and that divisions between Shiite and Sunni Muslims are likely to be increased. Time to launch a campaign against Scowcroft for his "un-American" statements?!

You guys are so damn stupid! You really think that the insurgents in Iraq care about what we do or think or say here?! How much more stupid can you folks get?! You are the same guys that said the insurgents will fight as long as Saddam was not captured. Well, what happened after he was captured? Did they throw up their arms and give up? HELL, NO! You said the same thing before June 30, 2004 (the "sovereignty" date). Did the insurgents get discouraged by the "sovereignty" thing?! HELL, NO! They didn't care one way or the other. The amount of violence before and after June 30, 2004 was about the same (or increased). Then you folks said that they were trying to influence the Nov elections in the US. Did the insurgents stop (or even let up) after the elections? HELL, NO! They went on doing what they do, even blowing up some 20 US soldiers inside a heavily-guarded army camp in Mosul. Now, you are back to the same refrain again. It cracks me up to see your favorite RW talk show hosts refer to the Jan 30 elections as the "final nail in the coffin of the insurgents". These idiot talk show hosts have been wrong ALL along the way. Will they be right this time? HELL, NO!
