"If you rely on the media and the distorted way in which the media is reporting what's going on there, you're not going to get a very good idea of what's really going on. I can remember so well spending one whole trip in the Sunni triangle, in Fallujah, just talked to the troops there ... And the former brigade commander that hated Americans—he was a brigade commander for Saddam Hussein—now, after having experienced embedded training with our Marines over there, has totally changed his mind. He loves them. He actually cried when the rotation came. I mean, these things are actually happening over there. He renamed the Fallujah security forces the 'Fallujah Marines.'"

--Senator James Inhofe, talking about coverage of the Iraq war in 2005.

Judging by the awkward phrasing and cliched inability to actually make a point, I believe that Antillo99 is not a real person, but rather computer generated RNC spam.

The expectation and anticipation of Bush%u2019s pre-war declaration that the Iraqi People would greet our Troops as liberators and they would throw flowers in the streets in festivity for freeing them from the brutal dictator Saddam Hussein. The reality is that Iraq has been split for a long time with a typical Iraqi being a Sunni, Shiite, or Kurd. The Majority in Iraq is the Shiite. Maliki has been closely aligned with Iran and the Shiites. This could be expected since the US removed their adversary Sunni Leader Saddam Hussein. The Sunnis have been in control and will only continue to fight to retain control. The Kurds have only wanted to break from Iraq and create there own state of Kurdistan, but this poses a conflict with bordering Turkey which has Kurdish populated areas adjacent to northern Iraq. At this point if all neighboring countries and factions within Iraq cannot come to a negotiated division of Iraq the US must stand aside to allow the civil war to play out.

Meanwhile, George Bush has spent another $100,000 in Iraq during the time you have read this post.
