No it's NOT just us.........quit using that lame excuse......I would much rather be known for trying to establish democracy rather than turning my head because it's "unpopular"........been in the unpopular war - I choose to be supportive...........it's not a popularity contest......it's a democracy contest. It is time to start lookin at if our help has allowed them to stand on their own....but it takes a long time to overcome suppression. It doesn't happen overnight, and it is costly. That hasn't been something that has been kept secret. The hard part is over - it just holds no great "news" stories any longer therefore it must be "unworthy".......I just don't hold that same belief...

Where’d you hear that? From one of your premier news sources like Michael Moore or the Daily Show?

OK there are more than 10 each.

But here you go, get your calculator out and go over the page you linked to and then go to this one and see what the differences might be.

Also look at how many of the "coalition" are support troops and not taking as much fire as ours.

Yeah - what HW sent.....heck I didn't even know that exsisted.....sure is interestin......thanks HW.......I just know what I'm told by the pres........course I do listen to both sides and I really do believe it's time to look at how do we wind down - but I don't believe that is sumthin that needs to be published.........we just need to start evaluating how well Iraq can stand on it 's own. If it can't then we need to restragisize......but we don't need to run like rabbits.....

Leaving now would be a huge mistake.

It has to be done carefully and correctly.

As soon as they get someone who knows what they are doing to run things and who doesn't have other interests in staying maybe we can get more of our troops home alive and in the same number of pieces they went.
