Well, I usually don't like to resort to name calling as that is the lowest common denominator of debate but besides that what hampering are you going on about?

What threats? No terrorists were in Iraq when we attacked.
Time to flourish where? If you're talking about Iraq there was no terror there until we
liberated them.
Now if we went after Syria or Iran you would be within the bounds of going after terrorism but that still would have been a not smart move because we were supposed to be dealing with Afganistan.

I'm in total agreement. Don't mistake what I say as politics. We did the right thing by going after Afganistan. One country, go in full force and deal with it. It turned into gross stupidity when we attacked another nation without finishing what we went in for in the first place. Now the primary objective is secondary in support. If you can see sense in that please enlighten me.

No, it's not swell that our guys are dying. But I thank them for their service and sacrifices. And I refuse to spit on their service. The thing is, I don't look at what they're doing as trivial as what you do.

Don't come that with me. You can't name one time where I have spit on or trivialized what the military is doing.

On your last statement on this most recent of your posts (see above), The answer is to give them the resources to do the job.

What resources do they need? Thats all you can say and it means nothing. What is their that we can give them to acomplish the mission?

But I'm sure you would prefer unconditional surrender, eh?

What it is is that I don't think our troops lives are cheap like you do. You think all it takes is to keep feeding troops and equipment. Thats a little shallow in thinking.
"Unconditional surrender, eh?" Like I said I don't have an answer for Iraq but I know we are in a mess and I'll voice it. I'm not a political head bobber like you and I'll question when I think lives are being wasted. What isn't working isn't working.
Also you still haven't given a answer, just rhetoric.
