So does anyone here happen to know just when things are going to be sufficiently settled down to magically bring our troops home? No? I thought not.
Sounds to me like the military and DoD are tieing troop withdrawal to success indicators rather than locking in to an arbitrarily chosen schedule. We all know how well *those* work.

well im happy to see that our stay the course strategy will be continued. After all the blood thats been shed, to have the place turn into a terror haven that we most likely would have to re invade in a few years is not cool. And i believe that is what would happen if we so much as anounced even a ‘general’ timeschedule for our pull out. If we announce a date they’d just lay low till it came. Better we stay the course, and not aboandon those who have put their fiath and future in us.

Peter– I think Bryon is having a little fun with the whole “no plan + aggitation to leave + GOP inability to admit mistakes + GOP inability to allow the Dems any say + the GOP saying that leaving is losing and unpatriotic= stay the course” when we all know we gotta get out before the next election cycle (or at least GOP senators and congressmen know that).
And C-Low, you gotta edit those things. Would like to read em, but no way I am going to slog through all that.

Thanks Pete
And sorry guys for the booklong rant but one thing that has just driven me crazy about this war is the misinformation and incompetent reporting on the subject. In past wars the media supported and did thier part for the nations war effort and in this war they have either been outright anit-american or at best equal to both sides american and terrrorist. What really sikens me that people dont have pride in thier nation to the point were a war effort strated by the slaughter of 3000 civilians cant be supported or at least make room for the good news to, the ohh good news dont sell line I just dont buy. Whatever happened to responsible reporting?
What scares me is the WOT wont end with Iraq and if this nation has no ability to make thier case continualy on the media front while our enemies have free reign to the point were every mistake is blown out of proportion every success is ignored or just briefed with more doom right after and what is historically minimul casualties unbearable we are doomed. If we cant make the fight on the media front we may skin by on Iraq but I dont look forward to the future especially when some major enemies on the horizon I couldnt even imagine thinking about fighting a WW2 level war agian in todays enviroment we would have no chance. War is hell war is brutal bad things happen people die that is reality and it will never be any different.

“…If we lose the WOT it wont be over we maybe able to hide in our little isolationist cacoon for a time but at some point the terrorist will get the WMD and they will make the Big Satan really pay and on that day that hundreds of thousands US civilians die and the people demand retribution, maybe they even dont at first but then the second attack, then they do, the war that will follow be that war of civilizations and the tatics that will be required are insane ugly, time will not be a advantage like we have today with WMD out of the bottle every attack will have to be stopped at all cost thier will be real police state patriot act nessecary, the muslim religion will be either heavily restricted or outright outlawed, mulsims here will be in concentration camps, thier cities will be burning across from Indonesia to Morroco that will be a war that will make WW2 look like a freekin creampuff in its brutality on both sides.“
Whew.

It’s all good Low… I promise we’ll all still be here to read the finished product.
Now, could you go back and slice and dice that bad boy a little shorter, tighten up the spelling and throw in a little punctuation. I’m sure there was a good point in there somewhere.
