Bigred... Again you bring up valid points and I find it difficult to explain using this medium.

You and I agree on alot of things, there are just a few differing points.

Kinda like the Iraqi's.

We need to change what we are doing because politicians and money hungry defense cotractors and Oil conglomerates are not listening to the Generals on the ground. (Those decisions are in their pay grade).

What is being said by the Generals is "Stay the course, give me what I need and we will have stability" (notice I did not say VICTORY because I do not believe it is about that).

Is this because they are war mongers and baby killers? Is it because they want job security? Are they just stubborn? Maybe. Or is it because they believe they can make a difference.

100 soldiers a month may die but there are alot more insurgents dying. Is that a good thing? Well it depends on your perspective I guess.

Yes the insurgents are coming in from all over but we are handing them their asses. Yes they have seen and fought centuries of wars (the Soviets most recently) but I think we are doing a better job than they were (the Soviets).

Ahh typing.. I am getting a backache and a wristache.

Are you guys gonna be at the drunkathon? I'll buy you a beer. You too Rich. (And I can't forget Beet)
