I won't go over every point,but suffice it to say that we went in to this war with one hand tied behind our Back! Our forces have the worst conditions and lack of equipment is a disgrace. If not for 9/11, they probably would be worse off. In the 1st War in Iraq, we had about 2-3 days of munitions left....luckily the Iraqis' surrendered. But we have the 40 years of Democraticly controlled of Congress to blame for NOT keeping our Defense strong. That's the sad history that's brought us to this spot. I don't want to debate the war, as it's been beaten to death.

Timm,
Sorry if you don't want to debate the "war" anymore. That won't make it go away.
And, next time you get into your car and strap on your seatbelt, remember the guy who took on the automotive industry with a book called "Unsafe at Any Speed".
Many lives were saved by his efforts.
Mine for sure...maybe yours?
