so we are fighting a war on terrorism by being in Iraq how, exactly? please lay it all out for me again because perhaps i missed something the first time.

oh yeah, Iraq attacked us on 9-11.... I'd forgotten about how much they hate our freedom and deep fried potatoes.

you can't send a message to extremists.....

...very much in the same way that you cannot convince Dumbya's supporters that he is an idiotic, imbecilic moron.

support our troops by discontinuing sending them to a needless slaughter in an unnecessary, ill advised, unwinnable war.
