“This bill will deprive us of the opportunity to destroy the American forces which we have caught in a historic trap,” Zawahiri says in answer to a question posed to him an interviewer.

Looks like we should had gone in with 400,00 troops instead of this half-assed approach we are doing now. I really feel bad for all the troops doing their 3rd or 4th tours. My father went to the Iraq 1.0 War and I missed him alot - it really puts alot of strain on the families let alone the possible death of your relative.

Why haven’t the Iraqi’s stepped up? We can train an 18 year old to be a police officer or Marine in 6 months, yet we are still training them? They are not stupid.

I wonder how many Democrats don’t care they are ‘playing into the hands’ of the terrorists? Now don’t get me wrong even I have a limit to this war - I just wished we went in strong and finished it in 2 years instead of what we have now.

The concequences are tremendous if we leave - another Camodian Killing fields, killing 3,000,000, will occur again. Iran will annex 1/3rd of Iraq. Oil will goto $120 a barrel.

I actually hope Iran gets a nuke so we can nuke them back with the World’s backing. Problem is that until something like that the World will sit on its hands and watch from a distance all the while the Iraqis are stuck between a rock and a harder and bigger rock.
