Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez has said it best. He said that Iraq is a complete nightmare. I hate to say it...Well, duh!!!! Actually, I enjoyed saying that, it's rather cathartic. It is so obvious that our government did not learn from the lessons of Vietnam. Our politicians, who are mostly lawyers, have no idea about running a military campaign.  They like to assert their opinions, but guess what, they suck. Their incompetence is getting our boys and girls killed, not to include the countless lives of innocent Iraqi civilians. As a former soldier, I understand that there will always collateral damage, but come on, this is completely unnceccesary. Lt. Gen. Sanchez was not given his 4th star, forcing him into retirement because of the Abu Ghraib prison snafu. He was just a puppet of the administration, and did what he was ordered to do. I'm not an advocate or torture, but I do understand that physical coercion is tantamount to protecting our troops. If the military commanders were allowed to conduct the war their way, we would have been finished sooner, and with less casualties.

Once again, Conservative spokesidiot Ann Coulter, has mired herself in controversy by saying that all Jews should become christian. This is a completely brain dead statement for someone of her stature and educational level to espouse. If she were part of the skinhead movement, I would understand, but come on Ann, you're more intelligent than that, at least I think you are.  This type of hypocracy is as stupid as the NeoNazis who subvert the Bible for their own hatred of people other than themselves, and it gives Christians a bad name.  People....we really need to wake up in this country before it's to late. We are are quickly becoming a theocracy being ruled by religious zealots and if we're ever going to progress, we need to see the error of our ways.

Remember.......GOD loves everybody.
