Apparently one of the generals said this week, This isn't America's war anymore", meaning the war in Iraq. Any American in Iraq or on their way there is most likely very sorry now. It is NOT our war.
Check out From Iraq: Marine's Notes and you'll get a good pic of why we shouldn't be there.
Who are the bad guys…?
NRO ...Most of the carnage is caused by the Zarqawi Al Qaeda group. They operate mostly in Anbar province (Fallujah and Ramadi). These are mostly "foreigners", non-Iraqi Sunni Arab Jihadists from all over the Muslim world (and Europe). Most enter Iraq through Syria (with, of course, the knowledge and complicity of the Syrian govt.), and then travel down the "rat line" which is the trail of towns along the EuphratesRiver that we've been hitting hard for the last few months. Some are virtually untrained young Jihadists that often end up as suicide bombers or in various "sacrifice squads"....
PS - Don't think this means we're leaving. Remember, it's the oil, stupid. GWB et al are NOT there to fight the War on Terror. They are there to GET THE OIL. The troop SURGE is to speed up the building of the permanent bases, secure the oil fields, and plan an exit by invading Iran from the "back door".
