Why fight the war over there; so far away, let's wait till it comes over here!

The war?   Military leaders are now beginning to speak of 7 more years !!  We have surrendered,  I believe, to a set of political rules    -------     making this a political war  (if it wasn't before).   The enemy has expanded the war within Iraq.   We have not, nor can we.     The 14 young solders killed yesterday drove on top of a 500 pound bomb.   How do these holes get dug without notice?   Well, they don't.  It is just that no one is telling us about their location   --   the people who are to benefit from the sacrifice of those who will be killed by these bombs are not helping as they should.  
 
Many pro-war leaders are now telling us that the people in Iraq are hedging their bets  --  wanting to help but preparing for life after we leave.   Unless and until we can convince these people that the process we hope for, the political process, is going to flourish, many if not most of the citizens of Iraq will continue to be governed by fearful concerns regarding our eventual departure.  
 
When you bring in the corruption that is apparently going on in high places in that country and the increasing and perpetual counter attack from the enemy  --  you have the receipt for disaster.

Jd, is this the same criteria you use as a Dodgers fan? What a loser attitude.  Izzy  
 
My comments are limited to "what do we do now."   If we are fighting AND winning, that is one thing.  That does not appear to be the case.
