As much as I never thought the Iraq war was a good idea or even remotely necessary, I have to be of the opinion that if we are going to do it, then we should place a premium on winning and reducing the threat to our troops. Take your blood pressure medicine and then go read this. As a matter of fact, you might just want to take a cruise around the site and see what else the children of those without influence have to say about the war.

There is so much. I could go on forever. the worst thing, which we have discussed, is that they are playing these bullshit numbers games to fool America about troop strength. If they stopped paying KBR employees $100,000 to do the job of a $28,000 soldier, maybe they'd have enough money to send us enough soldiers to do the job. As it stands we have no offensive capability in the most dangerous city on earth. General Shinseki should write an Op/Ed that basically says, "I told you so." Idiots.

...

I wish every american could see this for him/herself. Registering your frustration at the ballot box isn't nearly enough. There should be jail terms for this.
