You are talking about a "hearts and minds" approach, and how it's working. "But we are winning".

The US does not do hearts and minds. Our approach is that we took to Fallujah. 4 mercenaries were killed, legitimately from their point of view, and their bodies dragged through the streets. US troops have mutilated bodies, abused bodies, there are no saints in this heaven.

The US flattened a city of 350,000 people. Took 'em three tries, but the US flattened that city. And that's one instance.

We are over there, invading Muslim countries. It's a religious war, at least to them. They hate us, they have good reason to hate us, and they will continue to attack us, over there, every chance they get.

You'll notice that embassy wasn't a welcome to America, it was built like a fortress, announcing "We don't trust you guys an inch". With good reason.

Nope, the news is getting worse. We have sown the wind, we will reap the whirlwind, wherever they can find us. Which was OBLs stated strategy. Get Americans over here where we can fight them.

Sad. We had such great opportunities.
