Buzz of Scottie! The problem is with the politicians.Our military would do a much better job if their hands weren't tied by all the rules of engagement!! I saw it first hand in Vietnam and I'll bet it's just as bad now.Give the Generals the real power to get the job done and it will happen!!

Mr. Gloating ecu, who're those that are, as you reported "working with their tails between their legs?" ecu countries are those pulling out. in basic terms like we kicked Germany's butt two times, we've been doing the corresponding to the terrorists. (Ahh, ecu lack of expertise could desire to be bliss.) besides, those adult men are alot closer to then you us.

It only stands to reason that a Country thirsty for world power is going to be hated by many countries around the world. If another country came to USA and said "we don't agree with your beliefs and customs and we're gonna make you change to our lifestyle" , how well do you think that would go over? HEY SCIENCE GEEK, TELL THAT TO THE NORTH KOREANS

Funny thing is, America wasn't waging an all out war in any of those countries. In case you haven't noticed, no country has ever lasted more than 10 years in an all out war with us. Not like those pathetic europeans, can't even protect their own countries (remember when we saved their pathetic asses twice). As for our military might, our R&D budget is more than your country is worth. There is no single country on earth that comes close to our military prowess. Even taken collectively, it would take all other countries on earth united to even dream of standing toe to toe with the stars and stripes. We're taking everything over. Try and stop us.

If we didn't peace-meal these wars and went all out like we did with the Nazi's we wouldn't have these problems. We try to be "politically correct" and play by rules. We need to stop being the "nice guy" and start kicking some butt.

Americans are not getting their butts kicked. The insurgents are murdering 10 Iraqis (or more) for every American they kill. You're an evil person for cheering on the murder of children, to spur your political agenda.

Hmmm no I don't think so. The vast majority (98%) of the people getting killed are killed by the hands of their own people, brother musilims. The only risk America faces is its own libral left wing media. Thats what could and probably will destroy them as a nation.
The world will be a far worse place if that happends.

The thing is they are peace keeping in Iraq and not fighting so you cant judge there fighting skills on this, as they could level the country in 2 hours if they had to !! :)
