It's not just U.S. troops that suffer because of Irans actions, or lack of, but the Iraqi military AND civilians. This region of the world has a thing about weakness....by allowing this to go on makes us look weak in their eyes. At this point, I really see no other option.

Have a good one!:s4:
This isn't a time for our masculinity to start taking over. We need to make intelligent decisions, and this wouldn't be an intelligent decision. There are those who want us over there, but there are also those who want us over there for selfish reasons. Now those who can only see black and white see this as something that has to be done. They start taking an approach of this is the only thing left to do. Those of us who know there is a gray side know this doesn't have to be done.
