Funny how some people like to wave the "bring our troops home" banner around, without being considerate of the sacrifices they have had to make. Were it not for them a suffering nation would never have escaped from the grips of a brutal dictator. Were it not for them neighboring nations like Kuwait and Saudi Arabia would continue to live in fear of being threatened and provoked. And I could go on and on..... Our men were sent to accomplish a mission, and it would be an insult to them and what they have accomplished so far, if they were to suddenly pack up and return home. If never a time they were needed there, it's now! The capture of the "rat" was the achievement of a lifetime for these brave men and women. Now they must remain there to help establish democracy and stability in Iraq. They must also remain there until the process of justice plays out with Sadam and his cohorts. Our troops need our support, our troops need to remain there to finish their mission!
