My answer was "NOW" some may not agree with me on that, but I get so upset when I see so many more of these young kids falling in a place that does not care if we do help them. We cannot lose any more of our Men and Woman.

I also voted and I went for #3. Sorry but I know that if the Dem's come in for 2008 they will do the same thing President Bush is trying to accomplish and then it will be okay with congress. I think the media tells the whole store the way things are going on over there to suit them. I would love for all of our service's to come home quickly but if we pull out now I'm sure they will come after us again just like 9/11. Lets give them all the right equipment to take care of this situation.

We just had another airman visit us at Operation Shoebox. He, like all the other military returning from Iraq who have come to see us before, said he felt he needed to be there. He said that much of what we send in our care packages they give to the Iraqi children to try to make a difference in what they think of Americans. We get quite a few of these brave young Americans who come to Operation Shoebox and the stories they tell are amazing. They really believe they are making a difference and believe that the Iraqi people, for the most part, welcome them being there. Phyllis, I really think you are on target.

We have an all volunteer military. At this point, there are NONE in the military who don't know, didn't know, that they are likely to spend some time in Iraq, Afghanistan, or some other hell hole. Most joined, or re-upped, knowing full well the reality of what they might face. None "want" to face it, but I think it is safe to say that almost all believe that we MUST fight these terrorists. And we must support those heroes who are willing to make these sacrifices. The military I work with and those I have talked to are only afraid of the leftist media's constant propaganda against them and the weakness being shown by "our" current congress.
The islamists have been at war with us since at least 1979 (America held hostage for 444 days, Carter's Iranian Hostage fiasco). We have been at war with them only since 2001. I think we will be fighting them for a long time to come. Giving them a "win" in Iraq will only up the stakes and prolong the war. We can't afford to lose there. Our pull out from Iraq will certainly not end the islamic jihad against us. It will only embolden them (as bin Ladin said of Clinton's pullout from Somalia). Fight them now, or fight them later.
Do you think our pulling out of Iraq will end the jihad? Do you think that Reid and Pelosi's saying the "war is lost" will satisfy Iran's ambitions? Al qaeda's ambitions?
