Reply #7: The story is that 900 insurgents can pin down [View All]

20,000 American ground forces. That's what guerilla war is all about. The hundreds of millions of dollars required to keep those forces supported, equipped, maintained, and medically serviced every day from thousands of miles away means it is we that are getting judo flipped to the mat every day by a technically and numerically inferior opponent. Why does our leadership subject our troops and the nation to this? Why do we subject the Iraqi people to this? For a private corporate energy plan that the government wants to remain a secret.

Because we killed hundreds of Iraqis primarily by air attacks we're supposed to feel good about the more than 200 casualties we've sustained as a result of the Fallujah distraction from a rigged election here at home.
