    You are right. I apologize.

    My answer is (pasted from other thread) :The unfortunate thing is we have to be met halfway to succeed. It hasn't happened, and if left to continue it could go for years...

    I agree that is not what anyone wants. I don't...I say let's wait till september to see how the Iraqi people can catch up to the halfway point...If that isn't happening, then we did what we could, and it's time to think of how to leave and to think of what could happen and how to engage this properly with the idea of undermining the tactics of terror and those who contribute to it...(Iran)

    So I guess my summary answer is: yes and no

    Please keep in mind this is my own belief and not a tow the party line belief...

    I think he means, the US military is there to keep them from killing each other. Bringing US troops home would mean more dead Iraqis, if that's what you're going for. :)

    Or at least that's how I read it.

    Well ROX you're getting your wish. --

    BREAKING CNN: U.S. military reports the deaths of 14 troops in Iraq in the last 48 hours, including 5 in a Baghdad roadside bombing Thursday.

    O no,...mc mark absolutely won't emphasize the notion of killing bad guys, but he tends to enjoy posting the deaths of U.S. personnel...

    It makes you wonder how much he enjoyed 9-11 happening though?....

    Some say your support of a policy that causes the deaths of all these soldiers and civilians with no gain is disgusting.

    Let's not forget supporting suppression of the media and dissent, advocating torture, outing CIA operatives, the list goes on and on.

    I just glanced quickly at the thread title, and I thought this thread was about Rowdy Roddy Piper.

    it is somewhat disturbing b/c i get the vibe that when he does his daily search to see if anyone is killed, he actually has that split moment of self serving pleasure when he finds one.
