Where are you getting this information? I can't find any mention of this on CNN, Fox News or the BBC.

Even this unnecessary war? The only fact is that it never had to happen and wouldn't made the tiniest bit of difference to 'homeland security' if it didn't in the first place. War has to be the absolute last resort after all other avenues have been exhausted. Collateral damage and atrocities may be a sad fact of war but to wage it pre-emptively you are making innocent women and children die in your name.

If that's all you got out of my post, then there's no real reason to respond. I'll take a small snippet out of your reply and anser to that:

Man, you want innocent women and children to die in your name? That seems a little harsh. Get a grip on yourself, you ego maniac!
Crazy Cooter:
I read that legal "experts" are saying that it is questionable whether the wounded were prisoners or not. I don't get it. We shot and wounded them on Friday. Then set them free? So we've got guys in Guantanamo that haven't been charged, but we "apparently" are setting enemy soldiers free.
So this is the timeline that I've figured out, feel free to add/change it:
Friday:
1- Shot & wounded (minor) the enemy soldiers.
2- Treated the soldiers we just wounded.
3- Walked away.
Saturday:
1- Shot & wounded (severely) the same enemy soldiers.
2- Brought in the media.
3- Shot one of them again (killed him).
Who is supposed to take these guys into custody? Where were they? It just doesn't make any sense to be fighting the same people (up to three times depending how you look at this instance).

Heh, I'm probably still more Democrat than Republican, but I'll never EVER take it out on the service men and women. To give life for love of country (hey, these people volunteered! ) is so awesome that it leaves me speechless.

Is there a darwin award for reading posts wrong? If you're going to use petty name calling get your facts straight. I am not american. I am not anti-american. I do not live in america. I did not vote the bush administration back in. No innocent women and children are dying in my name.
Ego-maniac? Because I would have a problem wth 100,000 unnecessary deaths in the name of my safety?? If this is your definition of an ego-maniac then guilty as charged. At least I can't be called unpatriotic.

Then I hope you also respect the 'insurgents', even if you don't like them, for also making the ultimate sacrifice while resisting an invading force. Fighting for THEIR beliefs and THEIR country.
