Bloody day in Iraq!

[Big]

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Masked Shiite gunmen stopped cars in western Baghdad Sunday and grabbed people off the streets, singling out the Sunni Arabs among them and killing at least 37, police said.

The attack in the Jihad neighborhood apparently was retaliation for the car bombing of a local Shiite mosque the night before.

Damn, you really are a liberal SOB aren't you.

Though he is a liberal...... I think fustration with this war, and the situation over there, transcends just calling somebody a liberal. The polls seem to suggest it, unless the majority of us are liberals now.

I consider myself just right of center, not by much but by some. I have to say my frustrations with this war have also mounted, not for the same reason as Big's but mounting none the less. I have a number of troops who take advantage of The Virtual Pew, my new venture and I communicate with American Troops in Iraq on an almost daily basis. Here is my frustration, we as a government can't win controlled wars. War is war and we never really fought this engagement as a war as it should have been fought, and I believe would have ultimately cost less lives, ours and theirs.

These type of people need someone like Saddam in charge. They won't appreciate freedom like we do. These people need someone to tell them exactly what they can and cannot do.

This war is frustrating and we are only at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the time we will spend in this volatile sandbox.

I don't think the powers that be, ever understood the mindset of those they engaged in war with. I don't know if many Americans do, that being said, we can't win a war if we don't understand what it takes to win. It is like the movie Red Dawn except reversed.

I agree completely. We entered this war thinking it would be short and quick like that last one.
