I bought more U wts today: These are two year wts 1 for 1 with a strike of $12 and 2 years to go.

You know something I just thought about, is how the Iraqies must feel about our drawing insurgents in from all over the world to fight on their terriory.

We would sure be upset if our country was being set up as a battleground to fight people from all over the country someone else does not like.

It is no wonder 61 to 80 percent of Iraqies want us out of Iraq now and most Iraqies are cheering when Americans do get killed.

The people in Iraq do not want us in Iraq, the war will only get worse and worse as long as we stay, so we should get our kids out there. They are just targets now.
