Really now. "Follow us home"? Most of these folks don't have the means, nor would they care to come to America to kill Americans. They simply want us out of Iraq. They love their country and it sickens them to the point of sacrificing themselves to kick us out.
You and the rest who have kept this war running much further past the point it should have ended bear part of the responsibility for each and every dead or injured American soldier.
In the end you will secretly admit to yourself that you were wrong, even if you won't do it publically.

They tell me about all the good they're doing over there and how frustrating it is to see none of it reported in the mainstream press. The CSM's comments addressed the good and the bad, and I trust him and the ones risking life and limb over there before I trust the mainstream press.
For all the focus on the current situation in Iraq, an assessment that no one is willing to accept is this: what happens after we leave will be worse. The commentary at the following link is sobering but truthful (at least in my view): http://www.usnews.com/usnews/opinion...513/21edit.htm
Finally, note the similarity in the statements of Mr. Zuckerman, a senior member of the American press establishment, and the CSM:
"This is an enemy who will strive to follow America home." - Mortimer B. Zuckerman
"I believe if we don't finish this, it will follow us home." - Command Sgt. Major Neil Ciotola, U.S. Army
Now there's a truth that "...people don't want to hear."
