PD you are a defeatist simple as that. You are one who will always see the glass as half-empty, especially when it pertains to the USA.

Carter was a fool, he set this nation back decades with his appeasement. He never met a dictator he id not want to coddle and support!!

Former military generals who have been outwardly criticising the plan are doing so for their OWN selfish, self-important reasons. I have family who have extensive time in the military, including senior officers - from what I understand former flag officers when they have issues, or concerns make a call to their former collegues and talk privately about these issues - ESPECIALLY WHEN WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR AND OUR TROOPS ARE IN COMBAT!!! ( it has only been 2 weeks, if they want to crticise afterwards, or sometime in the future but 2 weeks?? Who are they trying to kid - they are ignorant of all the information the Pentagon has available to it)

Botton line is McCafferty is looking to sell books, and that weasal Clark wants to run for President as a democrate. I have a friend who was in the same unit as his driver while in Europe. The man is arrogant, and thinks of himself a nobility - he looks down upon the troops as unwashed masses.

How they can criticize a war plan they do not know the details of, how they can comment in 2 weeks when by all reports we are doing an OUTSTANDING job, shows the reality of their posistions.


Lat time we bombed for 30 days + before sending troops in, and then to expell units out of a small country a little larger then Delaware. We are now fighting to subdue a country the size of California, when they have been digging in, fighting on their territory, yadda - yadda - yadda. But yet in 2 weeks we are 18 MILES from Baghdad.

Rumsfield, and the chiefs at the Pentagon have done an AMAZING job!!! history will prove this. Were mistakes made? Was their higher resistance from Iraqis then expected? Probably - it is war, not all can be known. It would have been easier if Turkey had not let us down, but we have adapted.

Our main casualties have come from Iraqi dirty tricks - pretending to surrender, and things like this. These dirty tricks do not compromise the real mission, and are only annoyances.... they also only work one time. Then we catch on, like we have done now.

Come on PD - I know its tough, fight the demons inside - have some confidence in our leadership both in and out of the military. Look at the facts, look at the time table - this has been an amazing success....

WE do have a lot of work left to be done, and we will probably have a lot more fighting ahead, and will probably take much more casualties.... but we will prevail, and will accomplish our goals.... and we will do it better then any other nation could have done!

Come on PD get on the Mike AI Pro-USA bandwagon, before you are left behind to wallow and become a frenchman!
