> if it takes a hundred, excuse me, a thousand, excuse me, over a thousand dead american's, i'm gone to get him.

A fraction of the numbers of Americans who died in Vietnam, Korea, and WW's II and I. Besides, I'm pretty sure most of them knew it could be a dangerous job before they signed up.

> those ragheads, excuse me, the iraqis are waiting with open arms for us to free them

Those must be your own thoughts, because I don't recall hearing or reading those words as being from the President. Besides, most of the Iraqis appreciate what we've done and are doing over there. The press just doesn't bother reporting it because it's not "news."

> after which they will setup road traps and bombs and all sorts of ways to kill their liberators.

Do you listen to the news at all? Most of the attacks are done by Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and the remnants of Saddam's military.

Are you folks insane?
You read the story, realize that the moral justification doesn't match your feelings, and cry over it as abusive to 9 year olds????

It's a friggin' story. Told to make a point.

This IS an oil war.
Because without Oil, Sadam would not have had the financial fortitude to build his army or support (potentially) terrorism worldwide.

If your neighbor is a known child molestor, and he eyes your children wantingly, do you wait for him to pounce on them?
You're a pacifist? OK, so you call the police regarding his actions. They tell you he's been ignoring their demands for 12 years now.
NOW what do you do?

I hope for your childrens sake that you don't take the Kerry "plan".
Because closing your blinds won't make the pervert go away.
