Lots of new weapons have been combat tested in Iraq. I say its time to test another. The neutron bomb.

It's long past due. But this is just more proof that we should not increase the number of troops. You don't fight a guerilla war with large armies. It just increases the number of targets.

The key is intelligence, and targeted strikes--not numbers.

Looks like the terrorists are stepping up their offensive to get us to surrender and get the elections there cancelled.

We won't never surrender and the elections will take place on January 30. It will be mean a big defeat for the terrorists.

May God bless the souls of the victims.

I think its over-inclusive. You'd be killing a lot of the people who should be doing the voting next month.

These people who should be voting should take and stand and stop hiding and cowering unless they truly support the terrorists.
