Let me tell you one thing right up front. I don't like you or any other left wing coward telling me that I like to see our service people killed and wounded.

If the Clinton Administration had not have cut the Army from 900,000, down to 400,000, we would not be sending troops on multiple extended deployments. And also, in case you didn't know, this is a war, and people do get hurt. Ours, and the enemy's. Why do you anti-war types allways harp on our casualties? How many of the enemy have we killed and wounded? I bet it is many times more.

Can you substantiate your claims about the Iraqi soldiers? If true, then the Bush Administration needs to look into it and do something. I have supported the President from the very get-go on this, but I have never liked that he is allways trying so hard to be nice when he realy just needs to jump down some throats and chew some butts out. he needs to get tough with the Iraqi govornment and let them know that we are getting to our limit with our ability to help them.

I was very angry when I first learned of the Iraqi Parliament's idea of taking a two month vacation. Maybe they are picking up bad habits from our own Congress. but again, if the Bush Administration was a lot harder on them, the idea of a two month break would have probably never came up.

It may be a shock for you to hear this, but I am not completely happy with the way the Bush Administration planned and executed this war. I think it was a bad mistake to disband the old Iraqi army. Most of them were conscripts to begin with, and they were no big fans of Saddam. I also beleive it was a mistake to set up a totaly American interim govornment led by an American. I also think we went into this with far fewer resources than we realy would have needed. And, I say rifts in Iraqi society and the potential for sectarian conflict were also badly underestimated.

Yes, I do beleive the vast majority of liberals are spineless cowards. I also see how they are always sideing with our enemies at every turn. Just look at Nancy Pelosi's trip to the Mid-East a while back, trying to act like the secretary of state. She was asked not to go by the Bush Administraton, but went anyway. Now, you tell me? Is that not undermining our efforts? Harry Reid's comments at a news conference the other day about "we have lost the war, and there is no point in the troop surge" were disgusting, and a slap in the face to all who have served in this war. The democratic presidential hopefuls are all running on a platform of outright surrender in this.

I also deeply resent the way you assume that I care so little about my country and countrymen. You, and others like you, should get down on your knees, bow your head, and not say a word in the presense of a man like St Sgt David Karle. Not a day goes by that I am not thoughtful and thankful for the sacrifices made for my freedom. David Karle, and many others have fought for my freedom, and I am showing my gratitude by working hard on a real job (Do you have a real job?) and fight for them by getting on the internet and confronting people like you.
