I'm getting mixed signals from the left. First you say
we're oppressors and Iraqi's have a right to kill us.
Then we give sovereignty to Iraq you say we didn't
send enough men.
The story I was getting was that the Iraqi's didn't
like Americans killing Iraqi's. Now you say we should
have sent 500,000 Americans.
Who's right? Will we ever know?

Tommy Franks is an Independent and he's still
undecided whom he'll vote for. He's a soldier not a
politician.
