Is this really the point of your original post? This drivel is the closest thing I can find to an answer.
"NO dumbass I do not find any humor whatsoever
I am trying to point out to misguided morons like you who have to constantly remind everyone how aweful the troops are doing over there in spite of the fact that we went over there and KICKED THERE ASS and have only lost troops in the hundreds."
Freeze,
I realize that you're a neophyte when it comes to anything military, but nobody had ever said that our troops performance was awful. In fact, almost every single post that i've made on this subject has been from the perspective of the soldier. Our military has performed outstanding, as it always has. Simply amazing. Computers can only do so much, but in the end, it's the people that determine how sucessful any campaign will be. And as always, our soldiers, airmen, marines and sailors performed beyond incredibly.
That doesn't change the fact that not only was there no real reason behind this occupation(your point about your cheaper stolen gas noted), but it also took our focus and resources away from Al Queda at the exact time that we had them on the run.
Now, by all accounts, Al Queda has regrouped. Do you see them more of a threat to our country than Saddam was? And do you think that we switched priorities midstream, for 'whatever' reasons?
