More importantly than why we are fighting or what we are fighting for, is the question of who and what we are fighting.

Allegations of WMD and terrorism links aside, even if Saddam did have these things. He's gone now. He and his sons are dead. These are no longer valid reasons to stay in Iraq.

The Iraqi government has been established. They have their democracy.

So I ask 'progress'... well, progress towards WHAT? What plan towards obtaining this undefined goal? In what timeframe will this unplanned method be implemented to acheive the undefined goal?

At a certain point, one has to realize that the reason George W. Bush has not given the answers to these questions is that they are no answers to these questions. We are in Iraq fighting for, quite literally, nothing.

Whether the war was just or not or whether we are winning or losing is a moot point. We have nothing to fight for, nothing to win.

Screw Iraq, if they can't defend it.. they don't deserve to be free.

Did anyone actually believe that the democrats would make a difference in Iraq?

quit being terrorist.

No terrorist, no war.

Jesus shed His blood for remission of their sins too. And if they turn to Christ, then the old man (terrorist) is dead & the new man (spiritual) in Christ alive forever more.

Don't they realize that the ticket to heaven is to be born of God through faith in the Way, Truth & Life?
That the ticket to hell is to destroy Gods people & Gods creation?

Why does anyone care about OBL or his video, He declared war on us, I think the guy has fought the best fight he could, I think he should get our reply at about 2,580 fps, the message weighs a mere 150 grains.

Did Americans sit around during WW2 and ponder well who would Hirohito vote for?

Sons and daughters that have died in the war often have been the child of a Father that has served in the military. Fathers need recognition too.

I joined the Marines in 1999. I couldn't handle the military at such a young age so I quit and got a discharge stating "Failure To Adapt." Since then I have gained a college degree and have a better outlook on life. Can I reverse a past mistake?

It seems that all the attention is on World War 2 and the Civil War - World War 1 military collectibles are often rarer than World War 2 and Civil War collectibles, but nobody seems to care - why is that?

Hey everyone, I would first of all like to commend all the soldiers fighting for our freedom, weather it be stateside or overseas. I recently had a long distance friend who I haven't seen in a few years totally lie about being in Iraq via Army reserves for two years. Things he was saying weren't adding up, and it was confirmed he wasn't there through searches and a member of his family tonight. I am still in a state of shock about this, and don't even know what to say to him. This has actually inspired me to join (after I have been debating it for a few years) and I couldn't be happier. God bless America, and let's support our troops!!!!!

Is it maybe an indirect way of telling the U.S. to ease up the threatening rhetoric aimed at Iran?


"RAF Tornados have intercepted eight Russian bombers as they approached UK airspace.

The Bear Tupolev-95 planes - which can carry nuclear and Cruise missiles - were detected by Nato early this morning.


Typhoon intercepts Bear last month
Ministry of Defence officials said four F3 fighters were scrambled from RAF Leeming in Yorkshire and RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire.

The Russian planes diverted before entering British territory.

They headed back to their base in north Russia without incident and are still thought to be in the air, with Nato tracking their progress.

Sky's Defence correspondent Geoff Meade said: "Diplomatic relations between Moscow and London haven't been great for some time and I think this is maybe a bit of sabre-rattling on behalf of the Russians."

The military is naturally going to get as many troops as they can just to make the military larger even if there is no war at all.

My husband and brother-in-law are both blind in one eye. They both would also like to join the military. Last my husband knew, he couldn't join because of his eye. He's heard they've lowered some standards. Just wondering if he'd have a chance.

Seems how I don't have a clue of how many of you have forgotten September 11th or just don't care I'm asking. What would you have done after 9/11? Would you have found out who was behind the attacks and went after them? Would you have called it a "tragic event" and erected a Memorial, but not avenged? Would you have done what we did? Would you have destroyed (nuked) a whole country, just because of the dictator who oppressed the people? Come on, I'm curious how many stupid answers I'll get.

God Bless the Victims Families and May America Never Forget it's Past...
