1) Focus on training the Iraqi troops, and reduce combat roles of American troops. Withdraw slowly. Keep a small contingent of special forces, a light infantry brigade, a stryker brigade, air support, and intelligence elements in country. What needs to seen by the Iraqis is us leaving a less visible footprint on Iraq that doesn't look like occupiers. However, there need to be enough forces to deal with an enemy buildup when necessary.
2)The Israeli-Palestinian crisis is related to the other problems in the region. Pressure Israel to make a settlement, and don't guarantee them unconditional aid
3) Beef up forces in Afghanistan to route out the resurgent taleban forces and al-quaida. Step up pressure on Pakistan and conduct missions within the Pakistan border that are clandestine.
4) Keep the pressure on Iran by moving carriers and warships in the region to make him THINK we are going to attack, but don't do it! Saddam was willing to let weapons inspectors in before the war started, and we ignored him. This time, go to the brink but don't attack. Get them to negotiate when we are at a position of strength. If we start redeploying our forces, they won't be overstreached and the option to attack would "look" more viable.

Yes, during Clinton`s "peacetime", there were over four thousand military deaths. These figures were taken from the D.O.D. website. Between the years 1993 through 1996, there were more peacetime military deaths than during this whole Iraq conflict !
Again, the source is the D.O.D. website. Any military death is sad, but many people need to put things into perspective. The liberal media has tricked many Americans. Have you been duped ?

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The Pentagon dismissed as "ludicrous" a BBC report that the US military has drawn up detailed contingency plans for air strikes against Iran.

ADVERTISEMENT

The BBC, citing diplomatic sources, said target list extends beyond Iran's nuclear facilities to include its military infrastructure -- air bases, naval bases, missile facilities and command and control centers.


The report said triggers for an attack are confirmation that Iran is developing nuclear weapons, or a high casualty attack on US forces in Iraq that is traced directly to Iran.

And even worse he supports NAFTA, the SPP and the North American Union. Here I thought he was a conservative. Sounds like a globalist liberal to me.

I've been reading some pretty silly questions on here, so I thought I'd ask one of my own...

It could be plausible though because Bill invited Yasser Arafat to the white house numerous times, and he was a terrorist.

Think about it thet were created way back when most citizens could not read and write and news traveled slowly. Nowadays we have Internet and everyone sees news as it happens. I say let the registered voters via secure online connection vote on issues instead of bloodsucking congressmen selling vote to highest bidders. Just think about they vote their selfs a raise every year we would save billions of dollars. Any Feedback??

not bear the sacrifice hes forcing upon our troops, in his sidestepping involvement in his own war of Vietnam?

Or should we trust him when he says he understands the hardships our troops face?
when in reality he never had to -- because he couldnt when it was his turn to prove his patriotism?

It is one thing to pay for fuel and have costs justfied. Oil companies BOASTED 39 BILLION dollars in profit, they are laughing at us. It is time we as a nation made a stand. I say we start with Exxon/Mobil and buy our fuel from other suppliers. We will make Union 76, Chevron, etc. ritch but at least we can send a message and it is a start. Are you with me
