Explain the difference to me between losing a sodier a day in Iraq and losing thousands when a terrorist decides to blow up a building... |
The difference is thousands of civilians. Look, im not saying pull out, i love the fact iraq is getting its ass pounded, and i was a supporter of sending aussie troops to iraq. But troops are getting pipped off each day if it continues public views of the situation will want to pull out and the soldiers moral will plummet which is bad. A new approach needs to be taken, when australian troops landed in the solomon islands a few weeks ago our first objective was to force the militia to hand in all their weapons within a week or else face severe consequences. American troops need to get the weapons off the streets, and in turn flush out all these small bands of Saddam supporters.
