Freedom is being given to Iraqies. The cost is greater then expected and its sad that the rest of the world didn't join to help.
As for being a fool to think theres progress, same goes for those who think they know whats going on but haven't been there to see it.

Hey...I support the troops. I support paying them money on par with the service they provide (there are TONS of military families on government aid simply because they can't make enough to get by). I support sending them better protection against enemy fire. I support not fucking them from behind with backdoor drafts. Apparently the pentagon does not share my sentiment.
Freedom...as long as it complies with what we think is freedom. Freedom to do things the way we tell them to. Perhaps most importantly freedom that will likely be short lived. The only way they would have ever truely have been free would have been to take their country back themselves in the manner that best befits them. They didn't need some backwoods hick with a "don't mess with Texas" bravado riding in like some bad Clint Eastwood movie and blowing shit up. Our government has absolutely NO sense of accountability either here or abroad. Here everything is pawned off to a media who panders to politicians. Abroad we'll invade and kick the shit out of a country because...well...we can, apparently. There's a good reason the rest of the world didn't hop on board and it's really quite simple: they knew we were wrong. Turns out they knew us better than we did. Go figure.
If you see progress, you must be stuck to Fox News. One thing needs to be made clear outright...there is NO way we're going to win this fight. At least not in the manner that most Americans understand victory. To them the only way we'll win is when Iraq becomes a mid east USA. Who can blame them? That's pretty much what was promised to them. The only progress being made is making such progress seem to exist where there is none and making people buy it. Maybe that's the worst lie of all.
