Look, we need to back the fuck off from Iraq (sending more troops in is a very bad idea, just ask the joint chiefs of staff) and start using unconventional warfare. Black ops, you know? You can't fight disorganized guerillas with conventional warfare, you have to infiltrate and destroy them from the inside!

My two cents...
I'll be damned.....we agree again. Our current job is to make sure the current government remains stable and to train their troops for the mission. More people on the ground isn't going to be the answer....they have to do it through their military.

35% approve.....42% disapprove....23%??? Sorry, that 7 point differential don't mean shit. ANY election projection would NEVER make a conclusion with a 23% undecided vote.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
