We are so powerful compared to them. ( Insurgents! ) Could it be the reason we are getting a butt beating is "they" have strong beliefs" about what they are doing? We ( The USA ) are the one who illegally entered Iraq due to lies about WMD. Do you think this is the reason we are getting our butts handed to us everyday?

US Army: about 2500 deaths, Iraqis: about 100,000. Who's kicking whose butts???

First of all, this is not a game. This is a battle in Iraq, in the war on terrorism. Stateside, we have cheerleaders & critics. Most of the critics voted to go to war, but failed to provide a means to adequately equip our troops, even though it was within their power to do so. None-the-less, our troops in Iraq fight brilliantly & are nowhere near getting a butt beating. The liberal media capitalizes on every shortcoming imaginable. Liberal Hollywood criticizes the President & every move he makes. They even faked & distorted a documentary film to get you to side with their point of view. What a great country that we can do this without facing a firing squad. They even got you thinking that somebody lied & there were no WMD (we didn't find them). Our troops are winning in Iraq (for you), our President is OUR President & I can guarantee you that the liberal media doesn't want you to think this way. If ABC News saw George Bush walk on water, they would report to you that "George Bush can't swim!"

What makes you think they are "getting a butt beating"?
I'm afraid that you've been badly misinformed by a radically biased anti-war media.
My brother is a USMC captain over there. They've taken losses and casualties, true, but for the most part they've kicked a lot of insurgent *** over there.
The Army and USMC have killed or captured lots of these guys; the insurgency is bad but without the fine work of our military, believe me, it would be a whole lot worse.

We are NOT getting our butts handed to us everyday. The US has captured 15,000 insurgents since the beginning of this war and killed several more. Have a look at the Brookings report:
http://www.brookings.edu/fp/saban/iraq/index.pdf#search='how%20many%20insurgents%20have%20been%20killed%20in%20iraq%3F'
The major problem for US troops in Iraq is the car bomb. It's the only reason they have killed as many as they have. Snipers don't last. Car bombs kill everyone around them. That's where I don't understand your rantings. We are after people who are just has happy to kill locals whether we are there or not. They are insane and must be stopped.

There are a lot of reasons the three primary reasons are:
1. We have armies they have civilians that put on bombs, grab grenades and rifles when the need arises. They can be moms, dads and kids. Who should the Army fight. Leaders are the only direct targets and anyone else at the moment who is carrying at any given moment.
2. We are bound by rules of engagement by NATO are they? No. Our Military can't fight the type of war that is needed to win because of NATO, Media and Government intervention

If they were getting a butt beating there would be at least 10,000 dead soldiers coming out of Iraq. This is not a butt beating. This is what we in the Military call a minor nuisance.

We didn't LIE about WMD. Look up the word epistemology! Watch FahrenHYPE 911, the rebuttal to Michael Moore's film. Getting information from several independent sources about a subject and acting on it isn't lying. Until we had more accurate measuring tools we thought Everest was shorter by several feet then we know it is today. WAS EVERY SCIENTIST IN THE ENTIRE WORLD LYING TO US FOR THE PAST 50 YEARS ABOUT EVEREST?!?
Think about it...and in the meantime...read something truthful that doesn't already support your preconceived political notions.

Our armed forces are not getting a beating at all. It is the foreign insurgents who are getting whipped.
The current allied casualty rate (whilst terrible for those concerned) is not even a bad day at the office in terms of military deployment.

They're getting a butt beating from this administration who won't give them the resources with which to fight this war. Maybe George should pick up a gun and take a post----maybe he'd be concerned then whether or not there was enough ammunition and enough manpower to cover his hiney.

Uhhhhh.....pay attention. We have the upper hand here. They are killing there own people. And our troops are protecting the innocent. We are trying to get them on the right foot. Main stream media is full of half truth and whole lies. If you knew what was really going on you wouldn't post stupid questions like this.

Butt-beating compared to what? We have killed more insurgents than they have of us, there are other wars that we have lost 5 times as many soldiers as we have now.
If that is ************, you need to get your facts straight.
