I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one AJ ... The middle east theater is just that a theater and by being there we are a threat to their threats from Bin Laden's number two man (I can't spell worth a darn) that keeps sending messages that are months old. Bush is sending more troops, because Secretary Rumsfield didn't when he was asked to by his own comanders. Our troops have been playing hide and seek. A very dangerous game ... with more troops we can knock on more doors with good ole M-16's.

We are fighting terrorist cells that are being supplied money and arms from Iran which spells sh**te protected by sh**te forces within Iraq (the president himself is a sh**te). We haven't been able to neutralize anything due to, I say inside information being leaked to where we are going to neutralize. The enemy probably lives in the rural areas and come to Dodge just to make trouble, although I have no proof of this.

This is not Vietnam, they were backed by Russia and China and were a tougher fightning force than any modern day muslim has even thought about being.

The civilian population you speak of is ripe for this conflict to be over ... Offer them the same $25,000 for staying alive instead of dying in a lost cause car bomb explosion. Give them the reward for information and see how many bad guys get caught by their own mommies ... I know, I know Army intelligence has already tried this, but try harder.
