yea, they shouldnt be complaining. thats like during the revolutionary war when patriots fought guerrila style and the redcoats lined up to be shot. all is fair in love and war.

and then they are talking about the geneva

the US waited 4 years for the UN to do something. saddam broke the resolution in 1998, its high time we make him pay!

this question makes no sense considering the context of this war.

its a free country. she didnt have to do the interview but she did. so whats your point?

the media does, you just have to search.
