Not to throw cold water on your parade or anything but this quote, while I don't disagree with the sentiment, Is in fact a fabrication.

Steelie, I am a 10 year Navy Vet by the way.
I couldn't agree more with the current mission but I do believe that the civilians (and the political hacks in charge at the pentagon) at the higher levels are blowing this one badly and wasting the lives of our servicemen and women.
Now that the Iraqi's have shown that they cannot reach a compromise, I believe it is time to sterilize the oozing pustulating hole that is Bahgdad and the Sunni Triangle. Cleanse the ******* with fire and turn the ashes over to the Kurds. The only reason in my mind to remain in Iraq is to kill the Iranians and Syrians pouring across the desert to Jihad against the "Satan" that is us.
I am in favor of peace in the middle east, and I don't care if we have to kill every last Muslim on earth to achieve it.
