World gone crazy?

Apparently, it is currently chic for some to proclaim almost the opposite understanding of what seems to be the facts to most people. In Iraq, several dozen bodies are found every day of people who are dead but have been tortured before they were killed. This is in addition to the suicide bombs and the roadside bomb deaths. We, the USA, are approaching 3000 dead there in addition to maybe 25,000 wounded, some severely. Yet, our very highest officials tell us nearly every day that we are making great progress and will succeed. The argument now is not really whether we should have invaded Iraq, but how badly the prosecution of the war has gone. Yet, that is the administrations argument, that we needed to invade! They even admit that they didn't expect anything nearly that has happened. Changes are desperately needed. Blaming the Iraqis for the failure is silly.

Does this help you any Hardtack? This is not from Fox News but from Reuters which is hardly a fan of the war against terrorism. Do you want to do the dirty work here or over there? Right now the main boundries are over there. If we pull out the main boundries will be in your backyard. I hate this war too. Are our enemies going to go away like we were told North Korea would if we gave them nuclear technology and a billion dollars so they could develop electricty for their people? It doesn't matter what we do these people will never stop trying to kill us off. Let's fight it there not here.

DUBAI (Reuters) - A man believed to be a top al Qaeda militant who escaped from a U.S. jail near Kabul was shown in a new videotape broadcast on Tuesday exhorting followers in Afghanistan to fight on until they attack the White House.

"Allah will not be pleased until we reach the rooftop of the White House," Abu Yahya al-Libi was shown telling fighters in the tape aired by the Dubai-based Al-Arabiya television.

The channel said the tape was one-hour long, showing footage of Libi urging fighters to train hard and even to try to acquire nuclear technology.

"You have to get well prepared by starting with exercise, and then you have to learn how to use technology until you are capable of nuclear weapons," he said.
