I don't think so.
According to some of the Iraqi bloggers, there's something subtle going on here. The US Troops appear to be letting the insurgents "take ahold" of an area breifly, so as to remind the residents what life feels like under the thugs. Then when the populace has realized that whatever their distaste for the Americans, they run a much cleaner show, the Americans ( usually backing up the Iraqi security forces, come in and clean house). We're going to nail Zarquoui (sp?) in the next few days, methinks. |

I have a theory... liberals cannot reach climax without saying "quagmire," "misleadership," or "no blood for oil." Thus, they will say these any time they are trying to orgasm.

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Russia
It's beginning to look a lot like Russia Everywhere you go. Take a look in the mosque again, insurgents barracked in With RPGs and TNT aglow. It's beginning to look a lot like Russia, Guns in every store, But the nastiest sight to see is the severed head that will be On your own front door. A pair of black leather boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Fadl and Badal; Normal guys that will talk and will go for a walk Is the hope of Asil and Amal; And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for Sadam to come back again. It's beginning to look a lot like Russia Everywhere you go. There's a bomb in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, The nuclear kind that might decide to blow. It's beginning to look a lot like Russia; Soon the air raid will start, And the thing that will make them ring is the shriek that you scream Right within your heart. (Just messing around.. )

No, you just parrot the Dems "no WMD" bullshit. If you don't understand that they were there before the war and are either buried or in Syria, you are either really thick headed, you just don't want to believe it, or Kerry told you not to believe it. |

OK, Cy, answer me this:
We have been there a little over a year now, have had a little over 1000 casualties, now control most of Iraq, turned over the operation of the government back to the Iraqis, have elections scheduled for January, have been killing hundred of terrorists, and THIS is a Quagmire? I swear to god, you probably would be saying that World War I and II was a quagmire after some of the battles we fought throughout those wars. This chicken-little attitude of liberals is amazing. I think you all believe that during military operations if we don't get in and get out with NO casualties in less than 30 days then it is a miserable failure and quagmire. WTF, over? |

PS - if we had not done anything, even with all the intel and Hussein's stated goal of developing WMD, and he had succeeded and used them or given them to Terrs to use against us, you KNOW full well that you and other libs would be screaming bloody murder, saying that "Bush knew about these WMDs and did NOTHING".

First I am not a liberal
fact is I am a reg. republican. My thoughts are that Israel has been fighting the good fight for how long ??? We committed to this and are screwed now -- we will be there for a long time, a very long time . Forever is not out of the question. For what ??? To help people who have a religion so opposed to the majority of Americans it is ridiculous ??? To help people who no matter what we do -- hate us, and are just willing to put up with us for self gain ??? No matter what we do No matter what we say No matter what ---- There are going to be people over there willing to kill Americans -- cause it is their way of life. Should we stay - yes Is it better to fight there instead of our streets - yes Should we have gotten involved over there the way we did and for the reasons given -- Saddam--No Frankly I care less what he did to his people, let them do a civil war. If you wanted to give money and arms to promote this OK with me. What we did was wrong, and we will be there forever. And no matter what anyone says Rep or dem we are there for oil ----------- plain and simple, otherwise we would be in Africa and other places. |

Answer my questions.
I gave you facts. Sorry about calling you a liberal, but you sounded like one. We gave MANY reasons for the invasion - yet the only ones people bring out all the time is the WMD one. He had them, the big question is what did he do with them. He was developing them and threatening his neighbors. And yes, part of our reason was oil - it is the lifeblood of international civilization and the economy and is in our best interest to ensure free flow. Or do you want to pay 200-300% more for all of your products, goods, and services? |

he never had them, the little bit of crap he had is a joke, old missiles with mustard gas ??? I could build worse in my garage. A missile that caught a tail wind and went 50 miles more than what it was supposed to do. When I saw that on the news and the military saying - see we told you --- I knew we the American people had been lied to. Planes buried in the sand that experts said could never be made to fly again ??? If as you say he gave them to other countries that hate our guts like Iran -- well, when are we going in, but remember if we do --- the draft will have to be reinstated because I do not foresee a huge enlistment of Americans now or in the near future. |

OMG! You have GOT to be on something. He GASSED HIS OWN PEOPLE. The UN forbade him, as did our 1991 agreement with him, to have many of the weapons he had and was developing. He violated 18 UN resolutions, kept fucking the weapons inspectors, threatening us.
So, in your perfect world it is OK to break agreements, threaten other countries, gas your own people, harbor terrorists, pay suicide bombers for their killings, develop WMDs, and get away with it? But if he HAD eventually allowed terrorist actions with or without WMDs to occur against us or our allies, you types would be the FIRST to scream that we had all this intel but didn't do anything about it. Hypocrite. PS - you claim to be a Reg Republican, then start bitching about the draft? Who was it that introduced the draft legistlation last year? A DEMOCRAT! Who is bitching about the draft right now? DEMOCRATS! Bush and the Pentagon have stated over and over that WE DON'T NEED OR WANT A DRAFT! It is the worst thing to do for our military. A volunteer force is more effective. If we really needed more troops, we'd recruit more or reposition more - we have more than enough. |

WMDs... Good Lord.
Let me make it real simple for any "slow" people here. OK, I am a cop. I am looking at you for being a dope dealer and you let me do a consent search (UN Inspection!) but only allow me to look in certain spots. Surprise! I find no dope. Well things start looking real serious and I tell you I am gonna kick your door with a search warrant really soon (Invasion!) but you will know when it is coming and you have plenty of time. Surprise! No dope. HOW CAN ANY REASONABLY INTELLIGENT PERSON NOT BE SURPRISED THAT WE FOUND NO WMDS??!! ANYONE WHO CAN NOT SEE THAT EITHER HAS A BLINDING AGENDA OR IS IGNORANT. |

Regardless of what reason were given for the invasion, somethings are clear. The BILLIONS of dollars are not going to the Iraqis. They are going to AMERICAN companies and American workers. Our allies are also getting a chunk. Second we are taking the fight to them. Insurgents are not all Iraqis. There are other arabs there. Our boys are getting killed but they would gladly fight to save their moms and their families from being attacked at home. The price of oil is going up but we now control a percentage of the OPECs production. That is the reason the frogs and jerries dont want us there. Their fuel prices are outrages with their social programs. We control the oil we control their destiny. You my friend are a waste of bandwidth and a simple thinker.

We are not anywhere near close to looking like Russia with Afghanistan. However, I don't think Pres. Bush should have called a "Cease to major hostilities" so early in the war. He should have declared that once we had cleansed the entire nation of the insurgents and terrorists. Just because the going is getting a little tougher, doesn't mean that America's military is FUBAR. Grow a set and get some faith in our military.

Actually I would like to say that yes america is becoming more like Russia. Not in some foreign quagmire but culturally. This election has been an exhausting nightmare!! Now instead of "neutral" fact reporting. Media moguls just buy up media outlets (tv,radio,print) then force their viewpoint and propaganda on the people. Just like in Russia!! People are aggravated at "swing voters" for not making up their minds by now, like, "what are they , stupid?" But how can you blame their confusion?? Depending on what station you tune to you will get different answers. And of couurse the worst thing about it is each side accuses the other of total control of totally controlling the media. Now when I say Russia, I'm not talking about old Soviet Russia, I'm talking about the "new" Russia where "Oligarchs" buy up the media then push their agenda, and independant media gets "shut-down" or bought out.

Tell it to the Kurds. As for the civil war thing, un uprising without foreign assistance would have been like the Jews rebelling against Hitler en-mass. He had them scared, he had them cornered, he had them killed and tortured and all those other things you should have learned in school. Saddam was not much different. And if you don't care about the welfare of fellow human beings, then that says something about your character. What it says, I will leave for you to think about. BTW, this is nothing personal. At least feel good about the fact that you can speak your mind here without getting banned ASAP. |
