That would be incorrect. If that were correct, there would be "influence of the public" of afghanistan, Iraq I, etc. But alas, there is not. And there was so not "strong support" for Iraq.....that's so not true....

The reason it takes so long (with the #1 army in the world) is because the Army does not know who to kill. They could kill every man woman and child in the country in a few days...And the AF or Navy could do it in a few hours. The problem is that it is a police matter and not a true war. Our soldiers face more restrictions on how they do battle than ever in the history of war. Any other country would just firebomb the cities where there is resistance...and be done with it.

Then why didn't Iraq I last years and years and years?
Iraq I - 400,000 troops
Iraq II - 180,000ish troops
hmmmmmmmmm
The real trend in America is lactually ack of accountability and finger-pointing....wild excuses to detract from same.....

If the terrorists did not recieve so much support in the US by Democratic leaders (Its another Vietnam Kennedy, etc)..they would have stopped long ago. The liberals continue to give them hope that they will become the majority and run (surrender, withdraw...whatever you want to call it )and go back to coddling terrorists as before.
Actually the movement started here with Teddy kennedy and Michael Moore. This about Fallujah is really silly. Would you have us remove the citizens from cities in Iraq and not ever let them return? Should we just execute everyone there? That makes no sense at all.
If his father had finished the job...or if Clinton had not ignored the problem (too busy with his intern) we would not have any of the problems there that we do now...and 9/11 would not have happened.

There is no support of the terrorists from democratic leaders, etc. You and Rush, et. al are making that up. Trying to claim that doesn't mean that it's true, Fint.
Fallujah should've been and remained secure. You don't need to remove citizens, in war, you need to police them and keep the area secure.
Edit: and Clinton did try many different things to secure America, but the republican congress wanted nothing to do with it......
Second Edit: And I highly doubt his trysts with Lewinsky made him "too busy" to do anything else...... Tell me, does fooling around with your wife take so much time you don't have time for your job? I don't know about you, but having sex doesn't take up that much time in a day so as to prevent someone from being able to work....
