The sad thing, is that this war may never end. There is just millenia of hatred that we're entangled in. Doesn't matter if we withdraw troops or not.

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anistan, oh and The Penguin, Danny Devito, are on a peace mission over to Israel-Palestine. GOOD LUCK!

Ah, yes, let's try the Sharon method, it has been so successful helping Israel in stopping terrorists.

The "bad guys" have better intelligence and are using it more effectively. We should have begun training Arabic linguists on 9/12/01 and making up deployment packs describing local customs, but we didn't.

Combat troops are not cops, I know I worked as both in my life. The rules of engagement are different.

As a friend of mine who worked in the Pentagon in 1960's said the other day: "It's LBJ and McNamara all over again."

Congress passed the new and improved "Gulf of Tonkin Resolution" at the beginning of this mess, and now we have another "Tet Offensive".

The wheel of history continues to turn.

"...These people are testing our will. We have to test their survival skills...."

Let's see, Ramadan has just begun and there's - what? 40 dead and 240 wounded?

I guess they're surviving pretty well.

Maybe one of our big mistakes was protecting the Oil Ministry instead of the ammo dumps when we invaded a basically undefended country. If we'd gone for the goods first, they wouldn't be quite so "desperate" would they?

A MUST READ - that challenges the Bush mantra that this is about terror and peoplpe who hate freedom.

It's A War, Stupid... a wakeup call for George Bush and the media.
