God Bless you Jeff.
Unfortunately, the folks in charge are not listening to us.
They ARE listening to the world community.
The same world community that is working to get bush & co. UNELECTED this november.
Go figure.
and cry for America.

I thank God for the backbone America has left.
But fear it is too little... too late.

Bush needs to get his ear back to the ground and not worry about the world community, the UN and his detractors.

Proportional to how much he doesn't do that, or to how much he allows foggy bottom to dictate these military responses...our success in Iraq will ebb IMHO.

Let the Marines take care of and finish this business as they know how.

Military force "may" be used.

This mess is turning into President Bush's “Iran Hostage” debacle ala Carter. America is not fighting to win in Iraq, we should have decimated the terrorists in Fallujah et al. The enemy continues to kill our citizens and members of the military as well as shoot down our helos. What are we doing? Instead of setting our troops free do their job we have placed them into a never-ending "holding pattern" waiting for the terrorists and Muslims to "play nice" and by the Marques of Queensbury rules. Our military has lost the initiative due to the President playing PC politics with the "Religion of Peace". He says he does not care about poles or public opinion, if that were the case, he wouldn't be sweating the taking of a few hostages, we would have pressed forward with the attack and won. Now it is turning into Iran in the 70's we sit around weeping and hanging up yellow ribbons while JESSIE JACKSON negotiates. Frankly, I am sick of this and don't tell me "the president knows what he is doing and more than we do".

The president looks weak and to have Jessie jHACKson "negotiating" only makes him look weaker.

The media isn't helping either, making a big deal over the taking of a few people and the death of one and reporting as "Breaking News" one rocket hitting the Sheraton Hotel! We are at war and this stuff has happened in every conflict. We have to stop fretting and weeping and wailing over minor casualties and fight to win this thing or we are going to have done it all for nothing. The Muslim clerics/terrorists are bidding their time and the President has told them how long they have to wait... After June 30, 04 they will take over, because we have not dealt with/killed them and in ten years they will be taking their oil revenue and turning out more terrorists!

I don't want this to happen but it will if the president doesn’t stop playing around and get serious about fighting to win.
