Are they sweet innocent Iraqi's or Ba'ath party loyalists? Many people are claiming we should have left Saddam in power because he's the only one that can control the Iraq. Of course he does that by killing half a million plus of people. > AND THE US IS ONE THE GROUND WITH 150,000 TROOPS! Do you see us > closer to "winning"?

I'm sure Mike will have a better response but it's now the Sabbath so he's not available. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:212007 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
