We're not doing very well in Iraq. Any idea when we will cut and run like we did in Vietnam?

As far as both Vietnam & iraq are concerned, they are wars of invasion. Vietnam was a civil war and the US went in on the side of an illegal regime that refused to have elections. As to what battles the US lost-They lost the war.
When the major power on the planet decides to invade one of the weakest powers, the defenders can hardly fight in the open. Sort of like the"Minute Men" fighting the British and winning. The US should have learned from their own history, that no matter how strong you are, you attack someone's homeland, you have a real fight on your hands & you will probably lose. Don't even think about Iran!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As soon as we loose thousands more American Soldiers and Bush can walk away with a shitload of cash! Oh wait.....That has already happened.....
Huh...your right.....
Yeah......how much longer?
Maybe when our stupid President can fiqure out why we are there....Let's recap:
There have been at least four rationales. First we were told that Saddam had WMD, and that he even was working on a drone which could deliver a nuclear weapon to America. Rice said that we shouldn't wait for the mushroom cloud. Bush said we had to strike preemptively before a nation became an imminent threat. After WMD were not found, we were told we were bringing democracy to the country, by ridding it of a genocidal tyrant. Next, we were told that we were fighting terrorism over there so that it would not come to the United States. Then Bush and Cheney tried to associate Saddam Hussein with the 9/11 terrorists, so we were in Iraq to strike back at the 9/11 terrorists. Then we were told we were fighting to establish a "new Middle East" but that was not really defined, except as a place of modernity and "freedoms".. As of today, per Bush's most recent speech, it seems as though we are in Iraq fighting a global war on radical Islam.

The U.S. is accomplishing it really is aims, even although the aims are a ways longer than human beings concept. Iraq will in all danger be fixed formerly New Orleans. the militia will in all danger be there for 18 extra months. The Iraqi militia and police are improve and that is the entire key. The insugence has moved off attacking police stations and militia camps and performance been decreased to combating in 3 or so cities in a united states of america the dimensions of California.

The U.S. is achieving it's goals, although the goals are far longer than people thought. Iraq will probably be fixed before New Orleans. The military will probably be there for 18 more months. The Iraqi military and police are building up and that's the whole key.
The insugence has moved off attacking police stations and military camps and have been reduced to fighting in three or so cities in a country the size of California.

Well, first off, when the enemy is reduced to sniping and planting IED's, I would say the butt kicking isn't from themn but us. What you suffer from is lack of will with a dash of chicken s**t. I suggest you get a stout piece of board about 2X5 will do and lash it to your spine. It need stiffening. Also, the way the war is fought makes it seem really bad, but if we lose and run, your future will consist of a girl in a sack and you bumpiung your head to mecca and the moon god 5 times a die. Enjoy.

Until we nuke the Middle East back to the Stone Age. I'm sure we'll get our troops out before we actually launch them, though.
Wanna take a shot at naming them? Fat Man and Little Boy Ride Again is kind of lame... any suggestions?

Like Vietnam, this war is with a enemy you can't see.
Yes we need to leave, and never again try and help other Nations, because of interest ( oil ).
We need to do more at home like arrest CEO's that close down plants here and operate in Mexico and overseas. Thats Treason.

Well, if your a real man, you could go up to one and ask him to his face and see or feel what his answer will be.
Most likely another Islamic fundamentalist living the good life in America.
