But go ahead and kill our soldiers by making excuses why we can't trust or even force the Iraqis to take care of themselves. Iraq's our 51st state and it's getting treatment, financially and militarily, like it's our only one. That requires pulling out, but that’s why we then give them a time table.

I said "radical, fundamental religion". Apparently you think the Hindis are radical in their faith. You two, so cute how you proceed to put words in my mouth. Oh, and Stout?

Like a cracker on a cracker. No, I'm saying we stick with the extremely difficult task of going after the one we know caused 9-11, and by limiting our military to the one objective, we won't be spread so thin and will be able to defend ourselves God forbid another attack occurs...or even if another one doesn't occur, by going after credible threats like North Korea or, apparently, Iran. That saves American lives, keeps Americans as faithful as possible in our government, keeps our deficit from exploding more than it has, gives a real sense of security that we're currently lacking and gets at least some of the respect of the world we had for centuries until now.

Yes, we have had Christians do terrorist acts, as we have had atheists to terrorist acts (Timothy McVeigh)...but none of that is sponsored by global religious leaders who are in power. Not like Nasrallah, Ahmadinejad, Saddam (who paid Palestinian suicide bomber families in cash), and Ayatollah Khamenei who promote it. I think you'd be hard pressed to find one of another religion who encourages members of their country to kill. I think you're urge to morally equate one religious group with another is blinding you to obvious facts. It's Islamic Militants.

At least the "screw ups in office" have the juevos to fight, even if it is a difficult battle.

No one's arguing that radical Islam is the enemy. However I will clarify on your behalf that the enemy for us all is radical, fundamental religion...period. If those people weren't fighting for the next life, they'd finally choose to live for this one. I agree, radical Islam is the enemy. Unfortunately, that's just about as abstract an enemy as fighting Terrorism...that's like fighting badness. Ain't gonna happen, and as soon as these screw-ups in office realize that, we'll finally stop putting ourselves in situations where these idiotic mistakes are more and more inevitable.

I am furious that our men and women who are fighting for us have had their hands tied by libs and their "civilized" rules (though heavens knows we aren't fighting a "civilized enemy" - the beheading of Eugene Armstrong proves that point). I am furious that our own borders aren't more protected. We should not have top Al Quaida leaders in our scopes and have to call and ask permission to shoot. I know that this is a loaded comment to make, and that there are countless hot-bed political issues lying herein, but the right/wrong black/white aspect of the issue at hand is clear as day: we have an enemy. The enemy came to our country, lived here, walked among us, and slaughtered us. The enemy danced in the streets as the towers fell. The enemy, my friend, is not Bush. The enemy is not Rumsfeld. The enemy isn't even Hillary(yikes, did I say that? Just to prove this point...). The enemy, my friend, is Fundamental, Extremist Islam, and every person that devotes their life to living in it's filthy lies. The issue is that five years after 9/11, we have made progress in putting out fires, but we haven't yet touched the firestarter.
