If it is a major deal then we are sure doing a horrible job with something so very important. Let's pick one or the other; it is a big deal or it is not. If someone can demonstrate that we have a very, very serious problem if we just walk away then we need to get very serious and go in with more than 140,000 guys. Hell, we have 40,000 cops in NYC and most people in NYC are not trying to kill each other. If this is key to our survival then we need to get serious.<br /><br />If it is not, then let's get the hell out, as soon as is practical.Andrew, Bridget, Walker, and Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05759065310524049922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944448937249818035.post-2831439972765793242007-01-14T22:18:00.000-05:002007-01-14T22:18:00.000-05:00I think hear what you are saying, if the threat is...I think hear what you are saying, if the threat is so great then throw all of our resources at it but since we do not then the threat is minimal or non existent. Or if you prefer he lied, people died so he must fry. <br /><br />I wonder what the real story is? Is he an ideological do-gooder who does not have a lot of good sense. This scenario takes me back to 2K when I supported Sen. McCain thinking that Gov. GWB was a spoiled rich boy who needed a new challenge. Or is he as so many imply a bad guy who is sacrificing American and Iraqi lives to enrich the oil cartels? Or is he right and we just need to have some faith? I lean in the ideological do-gooder direction which may really mean bad news for the country.<br /><br />IMHO,getting beyond the should we be there argument. The real problem in Iraq is that the US is fighting a war with a group unwilling to follow the rules while binding its self to the rules. Sometimes the good boy needs to "do what it takes" so as teach the bad boy a lesson he will not soon forget. If the good boy doesn't have the stomach then he needs to get out of the way and send in someone who does - like you say "Actions Speak" but who is the right leader?
