39. problem is that Saddam was NOT Al Qaeda. never was
the only reason there is an Al Qaeda problem in Iraq today is thanks to US.

and you will NEVER defeat them. can't be done. just like Viet Nam. they will keep coming and coming and coming until our POLICIES change. we can't win this with might. we CAN win this via actions and deeds.

i'll give you a little taste of what this war is doing to thinking people over here. my father is retired CIA. 33 years counter-intelligence. lead officer during the Iran/Iraq war and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. life long Republican, conservative voter.

this war and the Bush policies forced him to register as an Indy and vote for Kerry this time around.

i'm no where near as smart as he is but he knows more about this situation than you or I for sure and this is what he sees as the downfall of this (our) empire.
