Mission accomplished! We won! Now let's get our troops out of their! BTW, is there anything left of Kirkuk? Or is it pacified like Falluja/Vietnam was?

what most people in the west fail to understand is - all muslims look at other muslims as their brothers.

therefore, the big question is - do muslims see al queda as muslim brothers?

if so, then, al queda has not been destroyed. they are just waiting for the west to leave.

and then, they will continue their crusade of forcing non-muslims to convert to islam.

Very well said - and thank you for your sacrifice, too! It's not an easy job being a military spouse, either! I hopr your man comes home safe & sound - and they ALL get the heroes welcome they so richly deserve.
