I'm declaring victory

I think we can declare victory, time to come home troops.

We kicked arse, and they fear us, the job done.

Reality Check: What you’re not supposed to think about

Let us put this into perspective another way. If a U.S. politician stood up and said that he’d kill 100 Iraqis for every one U.S. soldier killed, he would be considered a moderate since the U.S. has killed on average over 500 Iraqis for every one Westerner killed by Al Qaeda.

The one major difference....al quaeda killed innocent civilians who were simply going about their daily lives. Most of the Iraqis killed were TRYING TO KILL US! Now I will concede that there has obviously been collateral damage and that is sad, but we did not kill 1 million Iraqis who were just sitting down at their desks to start their day off.

I can't even begin to express the contempt I have for your post.
That has to be one of the worst posts ever.

Never in the history of our armed forces have we enjoyed such a kill ratio success. I thought everyone would be proud and waving flags, I know I am.

Some more context:

We kick arse, no doubt.

Of course having 24/7 UAV coverage helps too.

Actually, the problem here is that we haven't killed enough!

1.6 million dead?

There would be bodies laying in the streets.

Some questions arise, but to tell the truth I just don't care to answer them myself.

1. Is terrorism more deadly to civilian populations than traditional conventional war?

2. What does civil war look like, and what signals its end?

3. How do we get to the bottom of the terrorist pickle jar and eat the last one?

If we look at the numbers, we have killed a lot more of "them" than they have of "us", therefore I say we have won.

We won, so it's time to bring our guys and gals back, it's simple logic.

Even more importantly,

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

George has been drinking lots of the KOOK aid lately, mostly while reading various liberal tree hugger blogs on the internet.

Someday he may come back to reality and most of us hope that its very soon...

Kach's post makes more sense than Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi trying to surrender or declaring defeat or whatever the hell they were trying to do awhile ago.
