Why don't you just tell us all that you don't really give a rat's @ss about helping these people defend themselves. When these people defend themselves, you call the terrorist or Islamo-fascist. But you are too stupid to see that aren’t you?. In BODY BAGS your soldiers are coming back.

Hagel: Indeed, Hagel's withering criticisms of the president's handling of Iraq have been far bolder than anything most Democrats have been willing to say. He recently called for the withdrawal of U.S. troops, described Iraq as "a hopeless, winless situation", and asked: "Are we going to put our troops in the middle of a civil war? This will be a slaughter of immense proportions." He has also said that Iraq is "an absolute replay of Vietnam" (he should know, having received 2 Purple Hearts for his service there) and that "Iraq is not going to turn out the way we were promised it was. And that's a fact." Like Jack Murtha, another Vietnam vet, Hagel originally voted for the war but turned against it after seeing how poorly it was being handled -- and becoming disgusted with the Bush administration's sugar-coating of the deteriorating situation. He broke ranks back in June 2005, appalled by Dick Cheney's claim that the insurgency was in its "last throes": "Things aren't getting better; they're getting worse. The White House is completely disconnected from reality. It's like they're just making it up as they go along. The reality is that we're losing in Iraq." huffingtonpost.com

OMG Ms. Hawkette, I never realized it...you're a child. Here I was thinking all along that I was talking to an adult and here you are thinking these childish thoughts. Now your comments make sense! "the creation of a honest and fair democratic system of government for them" Sweetheart, when you grow up you will find that there is no Easter Bunny and no Santa. You will come to realize that the rightwingers in this country constantly try and take down governments created by the 'will of the people' and constantly prop up despots, tyrants and monarchs....for profit. You will come to realize the history of the ME, the Saudis, the Kuwaitis and, yes, that despot Saddam propped up for decades by these same people now claiming to hate him. There is no magic formula for weightloss either. LOL.
