What do you think about the war in Iraq? How could it have been improved in your opinion (please dont get into democrat-republican-green etc. arguments here).

I think the critical point that should have been considered is the difficult conditions the US troops have to endure whilst fighting the terrorists in the urban setting. I mean, you can't just roll in a tank around the streets and hope to accomplish something, you need to actually enter the buildings and clear them room to room. One thing that would have been better is better armour for the soldiers, and perhaps better reconnaissance equipment, like little UAV's and Telletubbies. It is certain that the Shiite and Sunni carebears with their care beams would not have stood much ground against the "eh oh'ing" tuzzles of tv fuzz. Jork naturally would have given hruj and the rest of his cabinet would have neferred. I'd imagine even the president would not argue with that kind of logic. Hopefully the fritz-fikers of Obama figure out how to jibber the mardoc and jree, and queed the myoon. Pretty sure that kon won, reahly gon, if they tried.

Not your average tizzle tazzle indeed.

For my part, I think that the Department of Defense should investigate the uses of vorpal swords. These are known to be extremely useful against foes that burble, while the slithy toves gyre and gimble in the wabe.

at first i was ok with the war but now more and more troops are now being shipped over there. I know this cause a person from my town is going to be shipped over to iraq

at least they dont have the draft like in the vietnam war cause most men would be over there after they turned 18

I think that they shouldnt continue to send troops over there cuz they are supposed to be out of there in a couple years anyway. But its good that they were sent over there in the beginning cuz I wouldnt want the war 2 be in my backyard.
