Well who’s right whose wrong; don’t mean a thing to the combat person went you are the middle of a firefight. Two things usually run thought your mine. 1) I am not going home face up feet first. 2) My buddy next to me on both sides, I will protect as they will for me.
So here is my lean on this, We USA mainly, which being in over 30 countries with only an artic being only continent haven been to. I wouldn’t ever leave this great country; we have been and done stupid things I admitted this openly. But I know of no other country that any other country that needs help ask first for that help and we give it. Hell even to our enemies go figure huh.
So the USA is in Iraq not as a forces to win the war on terrorism, as the is in Afghanistan
We are there as a mercenary force (UK also) cause the Saudis has no balls to do for them self. They are the ones who are scared and afraid of Saddam. Pure simple fact no one really has though of. I personally think 21000 troops will do nothing to solve this problem. Yes they will help out take a little pressure off the ones who have been there day in day out maybe 2nd tour maybe 3rd. We need to push for training the Iraq’s army, talk to Iran and Syria as they are going to be more or less running Iraq went we do leave. Which means this we have to win is BS, we lost there went three things happen 1st By invading Iraq we fulfilled Osama`s vision that we would invade a muslin oil rich country. 2nd We didn’t have enough troops on ground at first, 3rd was went Bozo (bush) had his picture taken on the carrier saying Mission Accomplish.
So do we need more troops yes 3 years ago went we first went in. Not now, it’s to late and only going to give them more targets to shoot at.
TomofSweden not sure what paper you are reading, but we did accepted money and such from many countries, even Sumatra who gave us 1500 dollars. This would be in the ballpark of a million. But seeing that country was dam near wipe out with the tsunami as an American I though as well as the others 200+ million that was a great thing they gave us. Oh that we did send back, as it wasn’t because we are the best king of the world; it was they needed it more then us. This is another reason Tom we send or do not accept stuff, from countries that really cannot afford to send.
Thank you all for listen to me
