Your remarks would have some validity if the real battle were military, but the "war" is cultural and was lost before it began. You can't win the culture war with the underside of an M-1 tank, and if you try you will loose because 'they" have far more IEDs than you have tanks. You are merely deflecting attention away from what Reid is saying, to bring cofusion. Shame. And, the cause is not freedom abroad, but oil and land domination.
