six months before the war.<BR/><BR/>NO ONE serving in iraq - and fighting the terrorists from ALL: OVER - including iran - is surprised. and theior parents have nothing to do wioth it. most are not "kids" as you lefties are so fond of thinking/charging.<BR/><BR/>we now have iran (and syria) literally surrounded, and the entire UNSC and EU united to isolate them further if they eacxh fail to accede to th next round of ultimatums.<BR/><BR/>so things are porgreessing - or should i say: coming to a head.<BR/><BR/>russia and china will abstain in the ened, and whine when WE take action. but not do anything except whine.<BR/><BR/>ultimately only regime change in syria and iran will stop the terror in iraq and iarael.<BR/><BR/>we are proceeding to effect regime change in both placxe on many fronts.<BR/><BR/>multilaterally.<BR/><BR/>which is hardly what leftiejekrs like you rant about -
