[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 73373, member: 484"] I just wonder what intel was used to explain away the tens of thousands that were killed by using gas on the "undesirables". You know, those Iraqi's that did the diversionary actions while we cleared them out of Kuwait? Ever think that maybe that is why Americans are so hated by some in other countries? We told them rise up and fight, we will help you take control of your country, and when we got to the border, we stopped, leaving them to fend for themselves against the mad dog. Just like the ones we left behind in Vietnam because we could/would not get the people out. Used them and left them behind. And that includes 10's of thousands ethnic mix children. Lives who's story will never be told. Bush is one that promised we will go in, and we will not leave until the job is done. And for better or worse, he has kept his promise. No idle threat. Very much unlike others before him. If for no other reason than this, other countries understand that the USA can and will follow through on promised action. Remember, this whole thing started because of a cat and mouse game Saddam was playing with "inspectors". So reality is reality. I have spoken with over 100 men and women that have served in Iraq and Pakistan. To a man, the effort is supported by those called to put out the service. Is it perfect? No, but it is a valiant effort to give the idea of self determination to those that have never had it. Freedom. To those that have never had it, an ideal worth dying for. And many more Iraqi's have died in the cause than Americans, but yet you down play their sacrifice. The reality is yes, many, too many, American lives have been lost. And yes, there have been a few, too many, but just a few bad examples of conduct. But the vast majority of the examples of courage, compassion, and love are not the fodder than the news media want to show, so they get overlooked. And it is a shame. The best and brightest of our country are serving beyond what we can expect with honor and dignity, and all we can focus on are the few in AbuGrab?
