Ah, Ha! You don't really want to go down that road. Have you actually forgotten who the idiots are that put us there in the first place? The three stooges (bush, cheney and rumsfield) should be tried for war crimes.

I'm praying for the families of these brave soldiers.

As an US Navy Vet, I'm so sad to hear yet another lost of our young men/women in the War. God bless the soldiers and their families. Please bring them all home safely.

Happy holidays.
