If this is a war of the magnitude that some on the right claim, then why has no conservative called for re-instituting the draft?  Why has there been no war surtax imposed to pay for the cost of this crusade?  Why is there no rush among conservatives to join the military?  Why instead do we keep sending the same troops back, over and over again, many suffering from prior wounds, from PTSD, from ruined families and shattered lives?

This war should never have been fought.  Meanwhile the people who engineered the attacks on 9/11 who killed people I knew sit in relative safety in Pakistan, our purported ally in the war on terror, releasing tapes mocking us.  Saudi millionaires continue to fund Al Qaeda.  But you want us to win in Iraq?  How?  You can't say.  You are only able to come here and issue your rants and make your ridiculous claims of honor on behalf of people you don't know but who you assume share your point of view and your goals for endless war in the Middle East.

You have no solutions, no answers, only ad hominem attacks against someone who you despise because his political views don't square with yours. Pretty sad display, frankly.

John McCain hates my wife because she's a "gook."

Yeah, like "you" had something to do with it.

As for Hussein being "removed' Hussein wasn't just "removed", as you so fastidiously put it, he was killed - tried by a kangaroo court & then he was hanged by the neck until dead. Some might say for no greater reason than political vengeance.

As for soldiers' deaths - yes, they may be required to win a war but the necessary pre-condition is that the war be worth winning. Soldiers greatly resent it when they see that their comrades lives are being spent for no good reason. This is why there is growing resentment within the ranks regarding *this* war.

As you have admitted, you don't know how to win. Two key ingredients: 1) show up, 2) take some action.

I don't believe a single one-day strike will end the war either - but a one day strike every month, and then every week, and then weeklong if required will get the attention of the Pelosis & Reeds & Hillarys of the world (it won't get the attention of Bush, he is too far gone).
