Skip and Chief, well said !

Heres one for ya -
Omaha Beach - D-day, someone, lets blame Eienshower screwed up on the bombing of the beachhead. The German defenses were barely damaged, when our troops landed, the surviival rate was less than 10%, for every 100 guys, 90 were killed.
What if CNN was there callin the minute by minute shots? Americans would have said it was an outrage, blamed Eisenhower and said the invasion was a failure.
But, as part of a the big picture, teh invasion was one of teh most successful miltary operations of all time.

We are fighint a new war in Iraq. We're bund to make mistakes and in war mistkaes end lives. I beleive in the big picture., I agree 100% with Skip, lets stop the pC crap, if Sadr is in a mosque, bomb the mosque, we're not making friends by playing nice.
