Duh!
Why weren't the contingencies known beforehand by all the brass?
Isn't this what they are supposed to know?
Why does it take several copters down and the loss of good men before they say, a la Bush, "we're gonna change tactics".
Duh!
Who's in charge here?

Rule Number One: Never underestimate your enemy.

To those who support Bush and his insane plans - do the world a favor, join up and go fight in Iraq.

At least then the world will be a bit saner.

Question: Why does U.S. think they are fighting CAVEMEN armed with clubs in the Mideast?
Question: U.S. has been paying $150,000 each mercenary contractor soldier to fight in Iraq and TO DATE THESE MERCENARIES HAVE SUFFERED NO CASUALTIES -- Commonsense states with U.S. having 3100 registered U.S. casualties (military action, not accident counted), 50,000 U.S. soldiers MAIMED, Iraqis have 600,000 accountable DEATHS, incalculable MAIMED, 1.5 MILLION REFUGEES -- the U.S. SHOULD GET SMART AND USE ONLY THE INVINCIBLE MERCENARY SOLDIERS TO FIGHT -- MUCH CHEAPER THAN TRILLIONS GW BUSH WILL ASK THIS WEEK - and WITH THIS CHANGE, OUR US SOLDIERS CAN COME HOME!

The US had years to plan this pre-emptive, unnecessary "war."

If military & political leaders could not devise a strategy for "success" in Iraq BEFORE the invasion was ordered, it is highly unlikely they are capable of doing so now.

Continuing to send US forces to Iraq is equivalent to murder. Wasting more tax dollars on this booddoggle quagmire based on some claim we are 'winning' is fraud.

George Bush's "war" is just another in a lifelong string of failures by Bozo Bush.

We cannot bring the troops home, but we can impeach the idiot who sent them there. And, prosecute the liars who conspired with Bozo Bush to drag the US into this boondoggle quagmire.

ONE TRILLION dollars totally and completely WASTED by Bozo Bush AND his SUPPORTERS.

You know who you are and if you are an American taxpayer, you are a FOOL & an IDIOT.

Change helicopter tactics. Good idea. How about bring them back to the US? Much safer flying over here.

Support the troops: Condemn Bush's failed policies.
