"....sure he had some bad ways of dictatorship but he held that country with an iron fist."

List good ways of dictatorship. Provide linked sources.

Lord God, please be with and give Your comfort to theses brave ones’ families. Touch them and hold them in Your loving embrace. Amen.

Thank you. The trolls are sure sticky this year.

"As if Al Qaeda and terrorists existed only in Iraq."

So we should retreat from Iraq and go after al Qaeda elsewhere (as if we're NOT going after al Qaeda elsewhere??) and let al Qaeda have Iraq.

Oh yeah, THAT makes sense.

ok i get it, the deal with the kurds.. but why are they everyones problem? from what i’ve read, they tried to take his life, so he hit them hard.

now Iran and turkey also for some reason are getting some troops massed. They tend to piss off more than one at a time.

What gets me though, is the whole ease of this. when bush said mission accomplished (and no, i am not mocking cuz at the time it seemed so) the only army they took down were people with sandals and fn pacman t-shirts.

Does anyone EVER think saddam saw this coming? He surely had advance notice, bush made it clear as with the UN inspectors that they were on the way.

The whole initial ease of it all seemed too easy. i have a gut feeling the b*stard has booby trapped the place.

"I doubt if he was hung.

"He WAS hanged, however. And most justifiably."

Right. Men are hanged, meat is hung. Therefore, he was hanged before he was hung.

Sorry. Couldn't help it.

"What gets me though, is the whole ease of this. when bush said mission accomplished "

The banner was made by the sailors aboard that ship, which HAD accomplished the mission. I'm sick and tired of repeating that.

It's 2003 all over again!

I give the blood thirsty Drive Bys and their Demon Democrat Politician friends 3 hours before they turn this political and begin the Bush Blame game.
Prayers to our beloved service men/women & their families.

Yo cherry—How much is fighting for your life worth to you?

[Abigail Adams]

God bless these heroes and their families.

[UKrepublican]

Prayers for our American friends and their families.

What a horrible loss of life.

Heroes each and every one of them.

[redgirlinabluestate]

This is heartbreaking. Prayers for their families. Undying thanks and appreciation to all of our brave troops and to those who love and support them.

[MountainDad]

Any word yet on which units were involved?

[RDTF]

Thank you for that. We are all in this together, and I know I speak for all of us here when I say that we appreciate our British brothers and sisters so very much.

I guess you also think our guys did this painting?

SAD... And I beginning to wander if these Iraqi bozos deserve all those lives....

Sometimes I wonder if this country forgets our soldiers are dying daily. Since we are so concerned with so much stupid stuff.

wander = wonder
