The problem is separating the bad Iraquis from the good Iraquis. Maybe we could get them to wear black and white turbans, respectively. Real issue is the flak we'd hear from wussy liberals who don't want US to win the war on terror.

Been there. Just landed there for a second though never got out of the aircraft. I was at Al Asad and Taquadum. Man take care. Are they just throwing mortars at you?

however, the "war on terror" is an undefined ideology...the war in a iraq is a concrete thing....and the "reason" we went into Iraq turned out to be unfounded and incorrect....not that there weren't multiple reasons, just some feel we should have worried mroe about Iran.

Stay safe guys, and come home soon. :thumbsup:

I hear ya. I've been in 8 IED attacks and shot at a few times. Sometimes I wonder why we're so nice to these lazy shelfish people but then I run into a good Iraqi who wants to do good. Doesnt make everything ok but it shows hope

That is all mostly irrelevant now. We are in Iraq and we have to deal with it. Iraq has transformed into the front line for the way on terror.

well, we transformed it into that, our gvm't broke it down, so it's now our gvm't's job to fix. I don't envy our troops and the tough job they do day in and day out, and I pray for their safe return.

Once again, "the war on terror" is our governement's general concept of stamping out anti-US islamic terrorism the world over, and is not a tangible conflict, unlike the Iraq War.

Excatly my thoughts. I can not thank you enough for your service. Everytime I think I am having a bad day I think about the Marines and other service men and women. When they have a bad day someone dies or gets hurt badly.

Really? An how many THOUSANDS of people need to be killed by IEDs and rocket grenade attacks before the dim-wits out there realize that 8 million pounds of explosives amassed by Sadam and hidden throughout Iraq constitutes WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION? What do YOU think a 2 thousand pound roadside bomb is -- the same as a single 9mm gunshot?

I think we should have worried about Syria, Iran, and a whole host of despotic anti-Western fanatics, but there was (and is) a chance of changing the balance of power in the Middle East. The only alternative, I fear, is global nuclear war.
