very simple,

I would tell my military generals that they have 6 months, congress will leave them alone, I will leave them alone, the press is on thier own, do not waste your time defending them, just use this 6 month period to root out the insurgents at any cost, and use any means necessary to get them. the Geneva convention is suspended for the moment, we are going to play it the way they want it........


go get them, dead or alive, but preferably dead. Avoid civilian casulties if possible, but blow the bastards out of there.

it is time we stop letting the press and Washington run this war, get r done boys!

ps I am sending 35000 lawyers and liberals to use as target practice.

The first thing I would do as President would be tell the Generals to get it done- do what you need to do, but get it done as quickly as you can, and then I would get out of the way...The military people know what they need to do way more than any of the politicians...Leave the decision on whether some incident was justified under military circumstances or not to the military people...If that means they have to go into Syria or Lebanon to take out terrorist training camps supplying fighters to Iraq- so be it...If that means questionable combatants are caught in the middle- so be it- in a war where they wear no uniforms you can't be having your troops calling time out to see which side they are on...If they're packing a weapon they are fair game... War cannot be fought on a limited basis...

The only limit I would put on the generals is no nukes- save them for Iran, maybe Korea...

OT and Jigs have it right. The enemy does not have to play by Geneva convention rules, why should our guys. Talked to a high ranking member of the Montana National Guard who has done two tours, he said the biggest problem is knowing who the enemy is, they have kids and women strapped with bombs, the enemy does not wear a uniform. Same thing from some kids here who just got home, same thing from my high school buddy who did his two tours, they do now play by rules, why do we have to let the media dictate how we respond. I guarantee you, if our troops were allowed to do what they know how to do, the friendly Iragis would start wearing clothes to announce that they are friendly, the bad guys would be turned in by the Iraqis and this would be over with. As long as we have a bunch of hand wringing liberals around afraid that we might hurt the self esteem of a bunch of idealogs who cut peoples head off for sport, the war on terror will go on forever. Got this video clip from our Captain, USAF, this is what should be done to anyone who even looks like they are terrorists. We have the know how and the means to GIT ER DONE.

nonothing,

Think about this. Who are we engaging in Iraq? Al freekin Quaeda. I'm tormented by our casualties in Iraq, but I'd suggest AQ would do worse to us if we didn't have them engaged in Iraq. the 2500 casualties in Iraq is much fewer than the casualty count would be stateside if we weren't taking the fight to AQ in Iraq.


I hate nation building. I knew Klinton was lieing when he said we'd only be in Bosnia for a year (its been almost a decade now) Where is the carping about "pulling out of Bosnia? Where is the carping or why doesn't it exist? Ofcourse Iraq is more lethal and dangerous than Bosnia - we're engaging Al Quaeda in Iraq. We have much more legit purpose in Iraq - so let's first discuss when to get out of Bosnia.

bradS,you missed my question....It was not an attack at anyone...I just asked if you were President of USA,what would be your answer to troops comming home asap?.....

OK if bosnia is taking more soliders lifes then Iraq,by all means give us the answer you think best for that situation...I was just looking at the death toll of american troops right now..Not to say your wrong,bosnia was a horrible ordeal.....Where america casaulties as high in bosnia as i Iraq?Forgive me for not knowing the answer and having to ask(i really do not know)...But i was younger then and not sure how bad it got for USA troops....I do know many civilians suffered unthinkable horrors,by thier own people...

Brad, you can not link Bosnia and Iraq.

Iraq is a war we are fighting to end a regime and stop home grow terror networks. it is a noble battle, it is a just cause.

Clinton went into Bosnia to help open up the Eastern European sex slave trade because someone caught him with Monica, and he figured a gal who can't speak english can't tell on him.........

As the death toll rises among U.S. soliders over there (and yes i have a cousin fighting over there) I guess I'd think there comes a time to just come home.

I am not going to respond to a purely pathetic antagonistic post. Quit trying your pack(?) mentality kindergarten games



Again name calling and assumptions.....As i thought your not smart enough to say anything of value......but this thread is an honest attempt to get answers to a question we all ask.....Frankly i am impressed with the ideas some folks have here..You said you never assume,well again you contradict yourself Passing Thru.....If your that caught up in hating liberals you really should seek professional help....I think that there is one thing both sides of Goverment agree on and that,is ending the war with Iraq asap.Thus in a positive manner,with to total intent of bringing the troops home....I have not used one post on this thread here as fuel for any political fire.......My intentions are of a pro active manner..Those of you who answered I thank-you and respect your time and words very much on this thread......I may not always be liked or on the side that most take here,but the job of president is daunting at best,be them a rep or a dem....Sometimes which side of the fence your on does not matter,finding the right way in life sometimes involves all as one.

Whats the difference in name calling and personal attacks?

Lets see you accuse pt of not being a smart man. Your (not you're) education came shining thru with this statement. "like i said,your just not a smart man".

Heres some third grade english tips for you.
#1 start all sentences with a capital letter,
#2 it should be "I" not "i",
#3 there should be a space between the comma and your,
and my personal favorite,
#4 it's YOU'RE and not YOUR.

Lets be careful when we attack others intellegence. (oh I'm sorry you said smart and not educated) :lol:

you are correct......i did take a personal crack at PT(sorry passing thru,it was wrong of me to take it to that uncalled for level)....Thank you bbj for pointing out the errors of my ways....also thank you for your personal attack on me.......i do not understand why you can call me out but be ok with others non stop put downs.........my guess is(and just a guess) your not a fair person or you would call others out too......i cant make you play fair,your agenda is set......yes i spell bad and lack even decent writting skills.ty for your advice on the grade 3 curiculum*


you wrote"Lets be careful when we attack others intellegence. (oh I'm sorry you said smart and not educated)"after what you had said to me.....As i said i cant make you play fair........

The only reason I called your hand on this one is because you were doing the exact same thing that you were condemning someone else for. It is called being hypocritical.
