As the parent of two Iraq war vets (and as a vet from a time of an earlier conflict myself), I find this to be disturbing news.

Your children nobly gave a good part of their lives serving their country. In the future our political leaders must learn to never take such service for granted or squander such sacrifices. It will be, as it always has been, up to the Iraqis themselves to work out some sort of a consensus and to build for themselves the country they want. When they threaten or do us harm, then more sacrifices will be necessary.

Fallujah and Ramadi Should have flattened them when we had the chance.

We should have bombed mecca on day one after 9/11 followed closely, as in minutes, by tehran and medina.
Of interest.

The NYT will report what he really said was “AlQ is on the heal.”

Seaplaner, your kids ate the same dirt I did.
Ramadi was MY town. It was Dodge City until the surge. But no, we had to give it back.
