The US troops also possess honor, integrity and values, things you apparently know little about. That is non-sense speak. Their presence in Iraq has attracted the terrorists from overseas. These terrorists have turned the Iraqi streets into a battleground. Off course the troops have to shoot back if they get fired on by the terrorists. But notice what happens when they do so. The terrorists and the troops survive most of the times and scores of innocent Iraqis get killed. We have no business to turn the streets of Iraq into a battleground. The US troops need to demonstrate their honor, integrity and value by telling our President that they refuse to stay in Iraq since they are not trained to maintain law and order in the midst of a civilian population. Rather that they would make the mountains of Tora Bora a battleground and go chasing after Osama and his men instead of being chased by the terrorists in the streets of Iraq. Nutball thinking will get us nowhere. I care for the US troops and their safety. Just like I would not go to a dentist for a haircut but instead go to a trained hair stylist, I would not want to send the troops into a situation for which they are not trained such as maintaining law and order in Iraq.
