Just expose who they are touting as experts and let them have all the rope they need.

You think the Soviet Union hasn't disbanned?
Well, you just confirmed how ignorant of the world you really are.

The concern from my vantage point Gramps is the same reality that plays out in Israel.....Israels neighbours are treacherous,they allow all manner of assets and weapons to cross their borders in the 24hr machination of destroying the Jewish state.
I look at Iraq and her neighbours and just wince....their all treacherous.
Some situations become multi-layered for those who dream of toppling govs...and one gov in the region is very vulnerable..that being Jordan.
Yassir..the Fatah,,,Hamas[Palestinanian version of Hizbullah],Islamic Jihad..etc...want to put the young King in a pine box if they can.
Now he is in the way of the "Peoples" comming to free the besieged Iraqi's.
Even if the Iraqi's settle into a quasi relationship with a gov set in place by the U.S....the other Islamic nations surrounding Iraq will have hordes marching in their streets chanting "America has bewitched the Iraqi's...the Americans are making the Iraqi's dogs just like the Zionist want"..type thing.
So like Vietnam...insergents will slip into Iraq...and do what terrorists do..and then hunkerdown after to tell stories after their little terror ops...trying to win the confused Iraqi's back to pure Islam.
The other side of this nightmare is that a certain percentage of Iraqi's actually want the U.S. to go...and here you have a Vietnam repeat.
Will Iran be content to leave Iraq alone?
Can Jordan stop the pyscho terror orgs from the Palestinian realms from entering Iraq?
Will Syria reign in Hizbullah ,Al Qeda and other terror orgs in south Lebanon?
Time will tell...

Ohmygawd, did HE really say that? (I don't know why I'm so floored, but this is another one of many absurdities.)
To: Carolinamom
Oh, yes, he did.

Think I should risk it and ask him if he still believes Bush is a traitor?

Yes, the parallels between Israel and Iraq are apparent.
It's a very, very bold thing we do--something no one, not 41 or 42, no one would have thought, let alone do.
It's epic and fraught with danger.
But the thought of freedom is a mustard seed.

Good points all. However I disagree that it is to our advantage to prolong the conflict outside of Baghdad. The supply challenge to sustain heavy forces near Baghdad is tremendous, and those lines are extemely vulnerable. Those are the military realities.
To: PhilDragoo
Something like that. I see there is no answer. YET!
I will call you soon about that matter we talked about last week!

Go for it.
To: info_scout
It's a good thing that there wasn't any T.V. reporting during WW I and WW II ; elsewise, YOU and your ilk, would have been moaning and grouning about " our debacles " and defeats, second guessing the commands ( based on absolutely NO expertise at all ! ), within the first week.
The Vietnam War was REALLY the first televised war and because of T.V., it was people like YOU , who turned against this country ... oh and also because of the KGB, our own home grown COMMIES ( RED DIAPER BABIES and their parents and other fellow travellors ), aided and abbetted by you and dyour ilk, who imagine that they posess the ability to " understand " what's going on, when they don't.
To: rollin
Clark's own people told him that the "massacre" was phony. He (or was it Clinton above him?) is the one who kept a lid on the fake job.... starting the war to stop a massacre that never occurred ... so he could retire, write his memoirs, and maybe run for office.

A pretty major consolidation, don't ya think? :-)
They think and act as they did before, but reality bites!
They will be in the european union within 10-15 years. It is they who want to be a super power to challenge the U.S.
To: Howlin
Oh go on and ask. You know you want to. Maybe he is gone by now. That will make it more fun.

Thanks for that ( he always gives these speeches when I'm fast asleep ! ) and for the link.
Unlike Clinto and LBJ, President Bush is making sure that our brave military has and shall have all they need to win this. That's wonderful ! :-)

So in ten years we have to repeat the process. There will be problems and bad people forever on this planet.
We can't allow the Opecker Islamofacists to finance terrorism around the world and hold us in constant terror.
The Arabs for most parts hate each other. If they want to kill each other of and not hurt other innocents, so be it.
