Do you think the prisoners that Saddam released is an incentive for terrorists? For insurgents, it could be a recruiting ground, as well as what everyone already looks at. Why is there little talk of prisoners running free?
If that happened in Los Angeles, American people would be going nuts... yet so little concern in Iraq!?
Originally posted by sasquatch672Look it up yourself. Kerry tried to do the same thing Clinton did. I know Cheney did the same thing and I don't like his behind either. My point is that Kerry isn't so gung ho so to speak. If you can't figure out that Kerry lambasted the troops then you need to re-evaluate your thinking. Rumsfeldt is a Marine aviator so you can't put him in the same category as Cheney. As a veteran myself I find it truly sad reading your idiotic statement that I'm out to screw the troops. As a father and uncle of no less than nine people in my family currently serving your statement is asinine. Kerry spent four months so don't put him on a pedestal. I know what I believe in. I believe now that you have jumped on the "Hate Bush" bandwagon and you are starting to sound. like that idiot No1.
'He even tried to get some deferments...' Well, that's news to me. I'm no Kerry fan but my guess is that you can't prove that. But let's talk about the people who we know got deferments: Cheney, five, because he 'had other priorities', and Rumsfeld, four.

Originally posted by sasquatch672They would have had more troops on the ground if the Turks hadn't thrown a wrench in their plans. I guess you forgot about that right? That's why contingency plans are made. General Franks was the commander at the time not Shaliskavilli and he made the decision to go in without the 4th Division coming in from the North out of Turkey. The plan worked. The problem is that once the ground war was over the instant gratification crowd by which you apparantly are a member of now tied the troops hands. I'm glad your whiny litle arse wasn't around after WW II or Europe wouldn't have become the continemt they are today. They had to go in when the weather was cool so the troops wouldn't pass out wearing MOPP gear. I'm sure our 2800 brothers in arms are actually telling you to STFU.
What I am is angry.
I'm angry that over 2,800 of my brothers- and sisters-in-arms have died executing a mission that was severely flawed both in concept and in execution. Angry that in February 2003, I said to myself, "If the President of the United States said it, it must be true" when he asserted that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Angry t ...[text shortened]... in a high enough position. He (and Cheney, and Rumsfeld) fills both roles.

All you have to do is take your blinders off and OPEN YOUR EYES!
As an objective observer I have to give No1 much more credibility than what is dribbling out of your mouth.
