    Actually we dont know what the Iraqis want since we are not on the ground talking to everyone of them. We know what a select few who protest want, we know what a percentage of the law makers want, but we have no idea what the people themselves want.

    The surge was a good idea, but we shouldnt have had a surge we should of havd a large enough troop presents to do the job right in the first place.

    But to make a country stable is a pipe dream, as long as terrorist type of attacks are in the game, any small group of people can cause issues.. Look at the washington snipers and how many problems those two guys caused in the states..look at India right now...

    Preaching what should be and what will be is just wasted breath.. Everyone has 20/20 hind sight and everyone feels they know whats best.. Truth is we dont have any idea what will happen in 6 months---2 years or any other amount of time in Iraq.. We could leave and they could become the image of democracy, or they could become the image of hell on earth.. The point is simple we need to leave and let the people of Iraq make the decision of what they will become..

    Then and only then can we stop hearing all the BS that people talk about when they tell us what will happen what caused what and what the people of Iraq want...

    I have no problem with the pact signed.. In fact Ill one up it.. We should just take option three and get out troops all out of the ME, Japan, Europe, and every other country out side of the US and its territory.. Im not pro or anti war, Im tired of all the bitching that happens when American military is on another country... I dont care what the reason is to go/be there, I dont care what country or place, I dont want any American troops in other countries.　I also dont want to send money to any other country, let them defend themselves and feed themselves..

    The death penalty is not an "eye for an eye". The orgin of an EYE for an EYE is in the Bible "The phrase "an eye for an eye", (Hebrew: עין תחת עין‎ ayin takhat ayin) is a quotation from Exodus 21:23–27 in which a person who has taken the eye of another in a fight is instructed to give his own eye in compensation. Since that doesnt apply to justice people have modified it to their own usage. In justice those for capital punishment say if a man murders he should be killed.. No where does it state he should be killed by the one who killed him. That is just a lame arguement when you cant find a true reason to say it isnt right.

    The logic of jail time is flawed, what right do you have to confine someone that you dont have to kill that person ? Didnt you judge the person either way? didnt you decide their fate either way? Atleast when you do the death sentence they dont have to suffer in the horrid liofe of prison... So maybe the death sentence isnt as bad as jail time for life, maybe its a welcome relief for the criminal in the end, many have said that before they had been executed...

    Typing isnt speaking proffessor.. Its a tad different...

    THE Afghan goverment has been on track as short as 60 years ago, and it was still called THE Afghan Goverment then..The as in THE goverment, not The current goverment nor The present Goverment. The use of the is to make it specific to Goverment not to a goverment of this time or that time. Back On Track **To get or put something back on track means to correct something that was going wrong. **

    I am glad you have the ability to take away the orgin and the meaning of a phrase. It would seem you cant be wrong so you create your own logic and meanings. The meaning is to stay on course and it has been linked to its first use in the 1800s. Also todays Navy uses this phrase all the time and use it to mean to follow ones course, to make sure you do not go askew.. So I am using it in the way I was taught and that is in the Naval use, or the nautical term...

    No one is disagreeing with anyone about the slow deline of the area, but that area is still better off then under Taliban rule.
    Only an idiot would use the term "off track" to say the Taliban was a better situation then the present.. Most say (other then the Taliban) that they are better off now then before..So your clearly explaining who you are..

    *you cannot possibly say 'BACK on track' *

    I can and I did.. I wasnt talking about this group nor way I talking about 1000 years ago, and I think I was addressing Sez directly. So I can and I did..

    Its an idiom not rocket science..

    They, as in the people of Afghanistan, need to get themselves self back on track, with this group of goverment or another... Dont read it more then was said..

    And Obama said he would stay in Afghanistan until it was stable and that can mean allot of things, unless he told you other wise? And staying the course is a nautical term used everyday for hundred of years, not Bush's private term.

    Tracks have been laid(goverment is formed, military is in place), the engine is running well(they have the resources to be a self governing county), but the goverment doesnt want to drive the train... They fear the results of having to actually take the credit and blame for what happens, and on top of that the president wants to keep his job so he is going to say what he thinks people want to hear..

    Obama screwed up when he made the statement of pulling out of Iraq and staying the course in Afghanistan... It should of been... we are leaving both countries in 16 months, we have trained your military, built your interior structure, helped create your goverments.. Now you must become a country instead of a colony...

    But we know that would of been political suicide...

    Can you think of the last time?

    around the 50's it was doing pretty good for Afghanistan. :)

    Once again SEZwho2 its nice to have a discussion that is just that a discussion.. Thank you.

    Many times in its thousands of years of history it has been on track, but as you know I was talking about the goverment getting itself up to the task of running its own goverment(getting a train on its track isnt the same as running the train day in and day out).

    ** Not to making it an Eden for people.**

    As far as 7 years, dont you remember all the other countries we are in to help them, some as long as 60 years and recent ones like Kosovo for over a decade now...

    My self I would pull all our troops from foriegn soil right away and let those countries become what they will on their own. But I know that isnt an option.

    Superlib... True true

    When you only have one track to play from you always play the same song....

    Everything points back to Iraq for some even though terrorist have been attacking western countries people for decades and middle east countries for centuries. Even though AQ became strong after the first Gulf War that the UN endorsed, after Clinton attacked with missles Iraq, and of course after Bush 2 attacked Iraq (illegal is a term that cant be used in war since war in itself is not a legal or illegal function) some still have to point to the war in Iraq with bush 2 as the cause for everything.

    Sometimes argueing a sound bite is more important to people then argueing the facts and reality of the situation.

    Terrorism wasnt created in The Iraq war nor is it the magic link or smoking gun why terrorist attacks happen other places, even though some want to paint that picture..

    So if the president is right then the statement should be.. Afghanistan was a better place for all people under the Taliban then it is now for all the people under its own goverment.

    If the Goverment of Afghanistan feels the Nato and US forces are not doing the job, then they should use their own military and we can go home...., But its not what he really wants to say, what he is saying is ... Elections are coming up and people dont like a leader who is in the pocket of another country, so he will buck the people who put him in power to get relelected..(and under the table he will tell the US and NATO forces to stay and help)

    So he isnt right. He is dead wrong. The country was horrid to anyone who wasnt a strong male, now it has problems but atleast people have the ability to be people... not just a object to abuse.. So saying he is right is infact saying the Taliban was a better goverment and way of life...

    With all that said, the forces there from Nato and the US have to get a handle on the terrorist group while training the Afghan army to do the job.. It isnt an easy job, and it isnt a pleasent job, but we have to endure and get that country back on track. I am sad that my fellow country men have to have their blood shed for a country's govement that doesnt respect and honor them, but in the military we always do the job without the thanks....

    some thing the civilians just dont understand...

    You do realize your on a Japanese sight and not Canada Tech College sight anymore right? People here are not coming for a cafe english lesson, and dont care if you find their english wrong or not.. LMAO

    as far as understanding my point you had no problem understanding it, but to make yourself feel like you could be better you try to insult someone everytime, its so childish and shows your colors all too well.. So try not to be a donkey all the time and respond like an adult with a set and not a internet geek once and awhile.

    As for who.. that person is you and others on this very board... You praise the control of the country Saddam had and his control was based only on killing.. Thats a simple statement with simple meaning. When you justify a leaders stability and say he was a stable leader then you must consider his way of leading stable.. and in Iraq that was killing people who dont follow his rule... Also known as capital punishment..

    I didnt thing the statement Singapore has very low crime and they have capital punishment was hard to follow. Sezwho2 stated... and I quote "Burying people in a pit and stoning them hasn't stopped infidelity. Public hangings have not ended crime. Throwing acid on these miscreants would likely only make future attackers more careful.

    Revenge is understandable. But state-enabled revenge is not the way to a more civil society"

    So I think you have to include Singapore in that blanket statement , since in Singapore it does work... I think that answers your flailing attempt to question me...

    Moderator: Readers, please stay on topic. The subject is Afghanistan, not Singapore.

    Even in the military we are allowed to go one level higher in force for any force done to us... So the Eye for an Eye thing is just a hot air arguement used to make a point cant hold the air being blown.

    Laws are not the bible nor are they any other book written for religion. In this case the law states the attackers can and will be hung. Seems the punishment fits the crime since its the punishment of the law to those who broke it.. Those who oppose the death penalty will always oppose it no matter what the crime is, so they have become a moot point on the subject of Capital punishment in countries and states where it is done by the law.

    The law of that country is the law and they have capital punishment just like in Singapore, which I havent heard any anti capital crime person tell me why it works so well there (Singapore) when they say it never works, or how they can say Saddamm ruled the country so stable because he killed anyone who broke his laws, but it isnt good in this case or any other case.. Selective complaining and selective beliefs is what it comes down to, and some on this sight live by that rule...

    For those who thing capital punishment and harse punishment dont work have never been to Singapore...

    So in some cases it works very well, in fact some on here say Saddamm had a stable country because he ruled the way he did (killed anyone who did wrong) then say capital punishment doesnt work when its not in their intrest to state it makes the area stable.. Hypocrites

    Buttamimi

    That is a wonderful answer, but what about the fact the troops are not coming home they are moving to another area. Using sound bites to make a point doesnt make your point valid.. I think someone has to answer the actual question of where is this money going to come from, now more then ever since he isnt going to raise the taxes on the "rich".

    I dont think Obama has to clean up anything Bush made by himself, but more over he will have to change the mess his congress and Bush made.. It wasnt a single man who made all our problems and it will take more then one man to correct it..

    But you can be like Smith and Buttamimi and blame everything on one person because its easier then living the truth.

    It wouldnt matter who is president to AQ, they are not going to be happy until they are rid of those who dont follow them... The calling of Obama any racist name is just typical behavior of those who are in AQ. Obama has allot on his plate right now and AQ is going to try what ever it can to make his life horrid..

    Hannity is not a voice of centerness thats for sure..

    When do they sue the India Navy for wrongful death??? Im just kidding..

    Doesnt this remind you of the way airliner hijacking was before 9-11... Let em take it pay the demands then no one gets hurt... Then 9-11 came and we decided dont let them take it at all cost... We need to apply that logic here.. Get aggressive right away....

    Good job India... Do it again..... but next time hit em with the harpoon, and the 30mm Guns.. that will take out both the big ship and the speed boats.....

    Sabiwabi your missing a few zeros in your post...

    *Along with other human rights organizations, The Documental Centre for Human Rights in Iraq has compiled documentation on over 600,000 civilian executions in Iraq. Human Rights Watch reports that in one operation alone, the Anfal, Saddam killed 100,000 Kurdish Iraqis. *

    And if the rest of your statement was true all Japanes, Germans, Europeans, Americans, And all most every other countries people should all be hung because they had ties to wars that caused suffering and death..

    as far as your other parts ..

    http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/du-health.htm

    And the body count that states a million if you count everyone who died in Iraq including those of old age, and other natural causes then you get a big number..... Most non anti war places count it no higher then 200k and most are much lower then that.. http://www.iraqbodycount.org/

    http://www.npr.org/news/specials/tollofwar/tollofwarmain.html

    War isnt good, but to throw uneducated numbers and saying around to make a point is a waste of time... Research it from more then just your view and figure it out...

    Yuriotani..

    Umm no most of the Hummers and Caddy suv vehicles I see are owned and operated by Japanese (we dont have a base near Shinagawa/Tokyo)... I can even go just down the way and rent an H2" at the local car rental here in Tokyo.. They are no bigger then a Toyota Highace van or the 4x4 's from Toyota and Nissan.. I live on a 4 meter road and next to a 6 meter road, and my back alley area is less then 4 meter.. We have no problem driving down any of these roads with our Full size vehicle, and on top of that the local company has Isuzu NPR dually trucks they run all day long here... Most Japanese buy a car based on the size of the parking space they have.. Most new houses come with a medium size parking space... So any mid size car will fit... The Shakken and the Insurance are not a big difference between weights and cc's once you go above the 660cc vehicle (yellow plate). Also when you take the test you do so in a mid size vehicle at the driving course, this Nissan or Toyota is about the same size as a Malibu, or a caravan .. Its not like you get a Benz Smart to take the test in..

    Maybe you havent been in Japan in awhile, or you just dont live in Japan, but allot of the cars in my area are American or German made vehicles.

    And like I said before its cheaper to produce a f150 then it is to produce a mustang.. The equipment and the basic chassis has been used for 20 + years.. So actually Ford or Chevy make more money on the larger truck then they do on the smaller car.. And that is why they push them so much... A framed vehicle is much cheaper to produce then a unibody vehicle.. The frame can be used along multiple models and vehicle lines, where a unibody is built into the body of the vehicle and is specific top that car...

    And car sales in Japan have been down for years now as younger people do not want the extra expense of owning a car...

    And the only Japanese car that has been on back order(in the states) was the Hybrid cars, and no even they are not being bought now because gas prioces came back down..
