Soldiers are just civilians in uniforms...

...wearing flak jackets, driving heavily armored vehicles, and
carrying fully automatic assault rifles. Some of them even have
the ability to send 500 lb. bombs at terrorist targets.

Soldiers are aware of the job description when they sign up.
Wouldn't you rather have terrorists fighting well-armed US
combatants halfway around the world, rather than blowing up
unarmed men, women, and children in your own backyard?

Actually, the article is right. Threats are almost nonexistent.
The insurgents don't make threats. They just do the deeds.

As far as who is attacked where, I'm not picky. Soldiers can't
defend themselves against vehicles loaded with explosives unless
they see them coming, and apparently, they do NOT see them coming
most of the time. And, they don't have the armor they need, so in
effect, they're often as defenseless as if they were driving down
route 95.

With a .50 caliber mounted on your roof.

No gun helps when a car blows up next to yours, professor.


Not too many cars can get close enough when a Mark-19 is unleashed
on 'em.

You really do live on another planet, don't you? Not only that, but
you never quite got past the age of 12. Have you noticed the return
of suicide bombings in Iraq, or are all those reports fabricated?


They're blowing up Iraqi men, women, and children attending weddings.
However, there's been a 35% reduction in US casualties over the last 3
months than in the 3 month period prior to that.

OK, boy. If you think that last paragraph is NOT a non-sequitur, we're
done with this.


You said there had been an increase in the number of car bombings
recently. Since the bombings are effectively targeting Iraqi civilians,
why are they relevant to a discussion about terrorist attacks against US
citizens?

An increase in the number of car bombings against Iraqi wedding parties
isn't of much interest to the average American. The fact is...the US
mainland has not been attacked since 9/11, and US military casualties
have fallen 35% in the last 3 months. We're winning the war on terror.





How utterly naive you are. Terrorist attacks are way up around the world



Not against American citizens they're not.


, and we'll be hit again,


Perhaps. But only if the ACLU continues to dismantle the President's
authority to detain illegal combatants in this war on terror.
Looking for an out already, eh?

If we are holding people without charging them, and not bringing them to a
speedy trial, we've lost the war against terrorism.


Bull****. They're traitors...and, therefore, they have no rights.
