How many more American kids have to die? How many more Iraq kids have to die? I hate the thought of "cutting and running"....it brings back the bad memories of the Nixon/Kissenger spin of "Peace with Honor".
Viet Nam was a ruthless battle with entrenched soldiers...they withstood continuous bombing of Napalm and refused to give up.
We have entered another battle with a ruthless enemy. These "animals" are willing to kill there own Muslim people. Our Iraq strategy has been like pulling a band-aid off slowly....ripping the skin and pulling the hair out. The alternative is also painful, but quicker....Rip the band-aid off quickly.
It is time to make a very tough decision.....Pull the band-off quickly......Win the war by killing thousands of more innocent people...with napalm and tactical nuclear weapons...Find a terrorist and not torture or kill him, put kill his family, his children, his mother....Fight these people like we are at war! A brutal strategy to end it quickly with as few UN and American casualties as possible.....or continue to rip the band-aid off slowly?
Obviously, President Bush has not read the book, "The Art of War". We are breaking every strategy that Sun Tsu established and perfected over 2000 years ago.
The answer is not simple...neither strategy produces a good outcome....it is simple for the anti-war / Democrats to argue to take our toys and come home.....build our border security, tighten up immigration, research hydrogen vehicles to help us reduce our oil dependency, rebuild the CIA intelligence system, kill our enemies with covert operations and drone bombers....and rebuild our world image as a leader. Unfortunately, that is too simplistic in a very ugly situation.
If we "Cut and Run"...who is left in charge of the oil? If the "terrorist" are left in Iraq with oil.....they will not rebuild Iraq...they will not feed the poor...they will not open schools and hospitals....they will use the oil profits to build and fund terror networks around the world! If we "cut and run", yes we will save American Soilders, and save money from our national budget, but we will help build a stronger enemy in the long run...we cannot afford to leave!
There are too many problems facing our nation....gloabal economies, global warming, budget defecits, health insurance crisis, social security, illegal immigration....we need to focus on our own problems and let the middle east animals kill each other.....but before we leave, we should make sure our enemy is defeated....at any and all costs, otherwise our world will be a more dangerous place!

While walking down the street one day, a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
"Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you."
"No problem, just let me in," says the man.
"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one day in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity."
"Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the senator.
"I'm sorry, but we have our rules."
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open, and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse, and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.
They play a friendly game of golf, and then dine on lobster, caviar, and champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy, who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises ...
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in heaven where St.Peter is waiting for him.
"Now it's time to visit heaven."
So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp, and singing. They have a good time, and before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by, and St. Peter returns.
"Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity."
The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: "Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell."
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator, and he goes down, down, down to hell.
Now the doors of the elevator open, and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.
He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash, and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. "I don't understand," stammers the senator. "Yesterday I was here, and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced, and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage, and my friends look miserable. What happened?"
The devil looks at him, smiles, and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning ... Today you voted."
