My son seems to worry the most about them pulling out and leaving people there. You know how they are talking about having them go out with the Iraqi police and want to pull a large group of soldiers out? That would be such a big mistake. It is such a mess. You know I can't help but have distain for anybody in the Bush administration because I blame this horrible mess on them. The way it stands now if we leave, soldiers die and if we stay they die. We never should have gone there in the first place.

My son use to talk about staying the course and making it work too. I have never supported the war so I am his pinko commie mom
He doesn't say any of that now though, and most of the medical people are now pinko commies too they have had enough and feel they were decieved.
He is not fighting though and he works between both places so he sees both sets of casualties maybe that is why it sounds worse.

I think different military groups see it differently. It makes sense that the Medical people are seeing the more of the result of fighting.
Maybe the ground troops are seeing a different picture. Except he talks to a lot of injured guys and they are not saying things are going well either.



All I know is I wish it was over and he was home for Christmas. This is Christmas number 2 for me. How about you? Wouldn't it be nice if war took a break for the holidays?
