At the current rate of progress in Iraq, the number of our troops killed will soon exceed the death toll for Sept. 11. Then, having demonstrated that we can beat the terrorists at their own game, can we all come home?

Yes, it's true. But the Bush gang doesn't want us to focus on that. We need to single out some other subject and devote all our attention to it. ie: Mexican immigrants, gay marriage, abortion. Our present regime has no intention of doing anything about these diversions, they just want to keep us busy so we don't pay attention to what's really going on.
(Remember how Faux News covered Natalie Holloway, for months, instead of the shenanigans the Bush gang was up to?)
This is an old "Dutch Reagan" trick. He was probably the master of "blindsiding" the American public.

That's true, Iraq is nothing more than to get some rich guy richer. Afghanistan, however, is something the government should be focusing on. Bin Laden has masterminded 9/11, so wouldn't you think that he should be a priority and not Saddam? He's the tallest Arab in history with a kidney disorder, how the hell can you miss him? The brave men and women from both the US and Canada (who has taken overall command, by the way) and other various countries serving to hunt this guy down are the true heros.
By the way, where are the WMDs that triggered the Iraq war to begin with? It's been three years and Iraq's how big?

I was just listening to a show on talk radio the other day and they
said how it is interesting how everyone Knows the # of deaths
in the iraq war, but not about anythinkg else! Did you know that
this has been the fewest casualties in a war and how about
the # of military people that died in Sept 11th? Just in case you
didn't know that answer. It's 55. (The Pentagon.)

I could careless about US losses. Whats more important is when is terrorists losses double Sept. 11 losses? When will they learn that we aren't going to stop! Maybe we should start a WWII tactic, Carpet Bombing.

You're forgetting there are also 18,000 wounded casualties; everything from spinal injuries to lost limbs.
This number greatly exceeds 9/11.

What is the connection?
2500 (approx) Americans died in 76 hours during an American island campaign in the Pacific in WWII. Should we have quit because our losses had roughly equaled Pearl Harbor in 1944?

Yea, I bet you can just hardly wait until more soldiers die.
Who all would you like to "come home"? The troops in Bosnia? South Korea? Okinawa? Germany? Oh wait a minute...you said can "we" all come home. Yes, you can go home to mommy now...

No. The problem is bigger and always has been bigger than 9/11.
Your behavior is seditious. You have sided with the enemy. We see you.
You have free speech. So do we. Expect to be answered, every time.

Sorry - your point is . . . . ?
As an example - if four people entered your house and murdered one of your family (assuming you're a gun toting, Second Amdt believing, God fearing Christian) would you only kill one of them or would you want to (or seek to) kill them all?
