As I said, we were behind from day one... ----------------------------------------------------- We surely were not. We toppled Saddam and destroyed the millitary. We were way ahead, but let the situation deteriorate. When a discretionary war is totally unjustified, then you are behind before you start. When you are spending treasure and lives for a negative result, as we have in Iraq, you fall further behind by the second. You don't END wars. You either win them lose them or settle for a draw (Korea and tens of thousands of US troops in place for decades to enforce it). Leaving the battlefield equals losing. Losing is a negative result. We lost before we began. And frankly you are right, capitulation to limiting the damage we have done to ourselves trying to put lipstick on a pig. ---------------------------------------------- And you are not even conceiving the damage we would have done to ourselves (and the rest of the world) by giving Middle East to AQ. What total crap. We're not at war in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Egypt.... did we "give" those to AQ? How the F are, say 5000 AG's going to take over the Middle East. Jeez... Yes you did. You dismissed something that worked, that produced results. That's an opposite of a pragmatist. What rewarding the Sunni 'US Soldier' killers? Maybe you should start sending money to bin Laden to leave us alone. But it is nothing compared to the disaster of capitulating to Al Qaeda and letting it take over Mid East. There you go again... what an imagination. Can you give me the details on how AQ is going to take over the Middle East?
