And what good is it that? They came in, uninvited - there weren't there at the invitation of the Iraqi people.
They've hung a few guys, got the videos on youtube for the sicko's who want to watch people die.
They've destroyed the infrastructure of the country - or at least their presence has caused the infrastructure to be destroyed.
An average of 100 people a day are being killed and that average is growing.
Etc., etc. etc.
The soldiers on the ground there are the ones you can judge whether this war is winnable. I think they have reached the conclusion it is not. How can they? Will the Sunni's and *****es decide one day to join hands and sing Kumbuya?
No matter how you spin it Cap'n Crunch about the soldiers who don't share the opinion of those that signed the petition, until I see their petition, I'll go with the evidence that has been presented as being representational.
The sad thing is, and the one thing I agree with you on is that the US can't pull out - basically they're focked.
