Is this an indication they are running ut of experienced people and having to resort to "Joe Bomber" to try and build these things? I think that all the captures and killing of the terrorist that have gone on, (over 200 last week alone) is beginning to have an effect. But I guess we will have to wait and see. Maybe it shows in the unit that was in Germany as supposed to deploy and now is not becuase they are not needed, (according to the Commanders in Iraq, not Bush or RUmsfeld). &nbs

Ever notice that everyone we capture (usually after a dip in poll numbers) is an Al Qaeda leader? If they are all leaders ... who the hell is doing their fighting? How the hell does a group name itself Al Qaeda in Iraq ... are the fricking nuts? ... the word Al Qaeda is a western nome ... that a group would simply adopt such a thing tells me two things 1) either they are the biggest bunch of idiots on Earth or 2) they a front for something else ... a

Secondly do you realize we have had fewer casulties during three years of this conflict than in each of the following peacetime years! 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983,1984,1985,1986. I was in from 84-87. In the Vietnam War, the military was well know for includi

Hey Rombios, When the Iraqi Government establishes a working country what are you going to have to complain about?? As for the dead, thats what happens in a war, people on both sides die, just happy its more on the other side not ours. The difference is, ours are VOLUNTEERS. That means they went into the service willingly and knoew what to expect. Unlike you some people are willing to put their lives on the line asked to do so, when they believe in what they are fighting for. You need
