We will just have to wait and see, if we pull out all together, in theyre culture we will have lost all face and will be seen as weak. Right now some of them hate us, but in a dark way it serves as respect. They know we are the mightiest nation on earth, we are constantly learning everyday this type of warfare. I agree with why you said it but not with what you said. We are already a different military fighting a different war. Tell me the last time a soldier was killed in a gunfight?a battle? months, all they do now is use IED'S and suicide bombers, were getting better at avoiding both, and when we have it down to a science, then we can focus more energy and supplies to the next issue. Too many people did'nt hear or understand the idiot in charge when he said the War On Terror would be a long, costly, engagement, and look, he was right! on atleast one thing. I don't pretend to know any outcomes or time lines, but if we back out now, and lose the last gram of fear/respect the middle east has for us, we will have 10 9/11's 20 etc.... We have to have onsight intell to pevent the rest of those towel heads from doing worse than 9/11. As Tomdarch said, what if Iran has nuclear capability and we are not there to stop them or have real time intell on when, where, what, and how they are using it.
Anyway, as stated earlier, we will have to wait and see.... always good chatting you up

The Brits are white and speak English so it's ok. The Arabs are dark, smelly, wear funny clothes, and sponsor and foment terrorism.
BTW, how many American civilians have been killed by foreign sponsored terrorism in the last ten years. How many non-American civilians have been killed by the US Army in the last ten years? And how many were in the course of wars that were entered into on the basis of bad information at best and out and out lies at the worst? But it doesn't matter since the non-American civilians were all towel heads, right? They're all terrorists, right?

Tree fitty. Tree dollar and fitty cent.
pigsteroni, the number is a little over 3000 US civilians dead from foreign sponsored terrorism in the last ten years including the embassies (remember those?), WTC, and Iraq. The answer to the question that leads up to (how many non-American civilians) is unclear (we don't count dead towelheads) but is estimated to be at least 28,000 in Iraq alone. Seems a little... unbalanced.

Cheney and the Late Night Comics
When the Lettermans and the Lenos and the Jon Stewarts start going after you, you know you’re in trouble. Of course, the late night comics had a field day last week about Cheney.
But the jokes this week might be even more disturbing for the Vice President. Because when the late night comics define you, it’s how the whole country sees you.
Just look at the jokes from Monday night.
This from Jay Leno: “I don’t want to say Cheney was pickled last night ... but he tried to play a pizza on the stereo.”
Harsh.
Now this one from Conan. “Cheney’s doctor told him to stay away from alcohol, so he got a twelve-foot straw.”
You see where they’re going? I guess the comedy consensus is that Cheney must have shot Whittington because he was loaded and that’s why he didn’t let any authorities see him for 14 hours.
Just listen to Jon Stewart. “I don’t want to say Cheney drinks a lot... but he once got an alcohol rub and broke his neck trying to lick it off...”
Cheney’s gotta hate these.
Take this one from Letterman. “I don’t want to say Cheney drinks a lot of martinis... but he’s got the only reported case of liver with onions.”
Yow! That’s rough.
And this is Jimmy Kimmel: “I don’t want to say Cheney is a lush... but his idea of frozen food is Scotch on the rocks.”
Just brutal! And Letterman really piled on. Here’s his top ten list:
Top Ten Reasons Not to Go Hunting with Dick Cheney:
10. Jack Daniels
9. Makers Mark
8. Old Crow
7. Old Grandad
6. Old Forester
5. Jim Beam
4. Rebel Yell
3. Canadian Club
2. Southern Comfort
And the Number One Reason not to go hunting with Dick Cheney: Wild Turkey.
This bodes ill for the remainder of the Vice President’s term. Word has it through the joke writer grapevine that Bush has already started asking for “Dick was so drunk” jokes for the White House Correspondents Dinner.
It turns out that not coming out right away with a statement on camera might have been a bigger mistake than we all thought. That is, unless he was sauced. I guess we’ll never know.
(Thanks to Michael Barrie, Jim Mulhulland, and Milton Berle for the jokes. And my wife for the Top Ten list.)
