It's time to stop trying to be Mr. Nice Guy. They are bombing us. Let's start bombing the hell out of them."

These Generals and politicians didn't learn a damn thing from studying Vietnam.

God help the U.S. fighting man and woman.

This report makes my blood boil. This PC driven, "Religion of Peace" crap has got to end when American soldiers are dying on the battlefield.

The politicians running this war (Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Perle, etc.) ducked Vietnam.

They learned all too well. Its easy and effective to trade soldiers' lives for career advancement.

Could that be all there is? I can't believe for one that they be. Definitely even when we are paying a precious price with the lives of our boys and girls, I refuse to believe that PC would take common sense out of our generals. These guys knows how to damage and destroy, that is their purpose and expertise. I believe that even though things may look shaky now in the end there will be nothing left of our enemies, not even seed of them. Sometimes is worth to wait for our chance, they then will hit them once just once because there will be nothing left to hit again.

They will squirm and die in the sun. Those guys are yellow in their pants, fedayin and all, special or not, our boys are following the yellow line they leave behind. The more they speak the worse they cover their fear and desperation. I have never seen worse liars than these. Our boys and girls will tango with them. Their judgement day is closing fast on them and THEY KNOW IT!

I only hope for the unearthing of the whole truth regarding Russia, France and the whole United Nations of Crime role in aiding and abeting this crimirat that is SadDam. I want it to go farther in the revealing of their true nature, purpose and agenda. Then every drop of blood and suffering will be worth it.

We don't have the might to fight a holy war on several fronts.

Exactly. Let's explain to the Marines who have just lost their buddies how it will "sow good will after the war" to disarm the enemy and bypass him, so he can re-arm and fight on in our rear areas. Let's explain to an Apache pilot how, by not firing artillery prep in the area where his buddies just got shot down, we're winning the "public relations battle" with the individual Iraqi soldier, who of course "we're not at war with", because "we're at war with his leaders". In both cases, if the Marines/Apache pilot didn't knock our teeth out, they'd sure be tempted to.

Yeah, we're wining this war, and we've taken very light casualties so far. But still, we've taken more casualties than was necessary. If it comes down to a choice between "innocent enemy civilian casualties" and needless allied casualties, it's no question where our default position should be.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

50 percent of the coalition's desired targets are being vetoed by high command for fear of hitting a sensitive "no combat zone."

I wonder what the Iraqi rules of engagement are if civilians are part of their army. There is a soft touch double standard about what to hit here.

And, yes, I am second-guessing the army of one.

Why? We protect the biggest nest of vipers of them all: Saudi Arabia, only costs us $10 billion a year. We let the bin Ladens be taken out of the country on 911. The administration has been dogging anyone sueing the Saudies. This is rediculous.

Get rid of the scribes attached to each unit. War is not a reality game. These rag heads are as devious as the charlie. Shut off the cameras. Move the ACLU reporters back to command HQ. Censure media output in America. Get rid of the wimp female pretending to have the capacity to kill one on one. Their as bad as female cops.

We need to let Bush know we will not let Washington map another defeat for America.
