JR combat operations are still going on in Iraq. Bush claimed and end to MAJOR military action - meaning the thousands of air sorties flown a day, huge tank manuevers, etc... But small unit warfare is still going on, and probably will for awhile. It happens after all wars....
This has happened after all wars - after spanish american war, in philipeans, in cuba, all the way through Iraq.
What is REALLY sad is more people are murdered in the US in a day - 43 a day average....
We need to put things into perspective.... our enemys know we have become a week country and hope by still picking off an American soldier will get us to leave - like Somolia.... that is the thinking the World has on us.
It is time to change, and let people know we now stay to the end.... we finish what we start,and will not be chased away.
It has to be done eventually, or we will never "win" another war again....

i dont disagree with any of that. all i was saying was that if i knew then what i know now, i would probably have felt differently about the whole thing.
the whole issue of not finding weapons, while that was the entire justification for going to war, is something i am not real comfortable with. it does not say much for the competence of the Bush Administration, no matter how you look at it.
