you fail to realize were killing more people there now than saddam ever did


This is not even close to being remotely true. Didn't you hear about the mass graves (from Saddam's rule) that have been discovered. And if we really just wanted oil, why wouldn't we invade Saudi Arabia or a country with a much larger amount than what Iraq has. The others may be your opinion but that above is unbelievably ignorant.

Here is an excerp from a private debrief summary from the father of a Marine in the Anbar province of Iraq, discussing tactics and weapon quality that I found interesting. I received it in an email and it basically describes the weapons and equipment used by the troops as well as the terrorists. This part caught my eye.
"According to son, morale among our guys is very high. They not only believe they are winning, but that they are winning decisively. They are stunned and dismayed by what they see in the American press, whom they almost universally view as against them. The embedded reporters are despised and distrusted. They are inflicting casualties at a rate of 20-1 and then see s**t like "Are we losing in Iraq" on TV and the print media. For the most part, they are satisfied with their equipment, food and leadership."

As for RotJ, I actually think the special edition ending is an improvement over the original version EXCEPT Hayden. I like the celebrations on different planets (even Naboo) and I think the new theme is better and more fitting for the end of the saga than "Yub Nub".
