U.S. needs to let military do its tough job in Iraq
I support President Bush's ideas for Iraq, but I think a harder line must be drawn in the sand. This is beginning to smell like Johnson and McNamarra during the Vietnam war. Let the military do its job, be decisive and follow through.
This last month we have suffered an unacceptable amount of casualties. Why? Because we worry about world opinion. Why?
President Nixon allowed unlimited bombing of North Vietnam when they left the peace conference tables. I believe it took three days for them to return after the bombing started.
It's really pretty simple ‹ give them 48 hours to leave, unarmed or reduce the place to a half story tall.
At 50 years old, the B-52 is still a pretty awesome weapon.
