It just shows me that all they do is sit behind a desk and pretend to know everything. I would like to know somebody who could plan for a war? Go ahead, somebody raise their hand and tell me what they would do with every single situation that could araise. Nothing would go wrong because their would be no "lack of planning", we would know what the enemy was doing at all times and we would plan for the counter attack.
This is a new war, we have never fought in a war like this before. ROEs are confusing, Enemy that will not stand up for thier country, IED's improving everyday, Cowards that yeild weapons. There are so many things that is different about this war, how could we possible plan for it.

Agreed, Iraq is a mess. Disagree... there is so much to do over there. And even if Americans do pull out, who is to say the fighting will stop. I used to think that, at first. But that was just me being naive. These people will not stop fighting if Americans pull out. They will just fight among themselves and kill each other. And that is not a good thing.
I will say that I have a very strong dislike towards that country, but does that mean that I hate everybody over there? No. But if America pulls out, what is going to happen to the few good people? They are far out numbered by the evil the runs that country. And by evil, I'm not talking about 1 person. I'm talking about their way of life. And if we pull out now, whats going to happen 10 years down the road? Are we going to have to go back over there and do this again? We should have taken care of this in the 1990's, but we didn't. Now we are, and we have to stick it out to the very end.
Ahhh... I could go on, but I will stop.
