...and the surge is working. The most important question to be asked again and again. What exactly are the soldiers dying for and for whom? Are they dying to protect America? Get real! Are they dying to bring freedom, liberty, and democracy to Iraq? Gotta to be kidding. Are they dying so that corporations that "sponsored" the war are making wind-fall profits and in control of Iraq''s oil for generations to come? Most likely than not. It is the most realistic reason and is conceivably true. Just ask yourself, which corporations are benefiting from the oil concessions, the construction and reconstruction in Iraq.

continue...

Bushco should be in jail and tried as war criminals, because that is what they are. No better than a common run of the mill dicator, trying to fool everyone that they really are good people, concerned about the health and welfare of others.

Like every petty dicator, they see themselves as heros and the truth is that are common criminals.

This ain''t ever going to quit.

All the US troops, the civilian men, women and children, the journalists all of them have died for nothing more than greed (Cheney), Israel (rumsfeld, wolfowitz, feith) and legacy (bush).

There never was a valid reason to invade Iraq, no WMD, no threats to the US. Saddam was a brutal dicator, but he was never worth this cost. He was a toothless old tiger that would have strutted around for a few more years.

You ask the people of today if they would rather be back under Saddam and they say yes. Under Saddam, life was hard, but at least liveable. Under the US occupation, it is impossible. Genocide, homes destroyed, no electicity, no water, no waste managment, no schools. Families torn apart, never to see each other again.

This whole stupid enterprise will ensure that a whole generation of Iraqi kids grow up hating America with a passion that will be equal to the hatred of the 9-11 hijackers.

Instead of working to make the middle east a place where American is NOT called Satan and is not hated, shrub has managed to do the complete opposite.

This will go down in history as one of the worse, if not the worse, foreign policies in US history.

These people will continue to fight and kill US troops until the end of time. Their anger at our meddling in their affairs, trying to steal their oil, assinating leaders that don''t play their game, is beyond anything we can understand.

Hey Prinze, save your schizophrenia. Osama''''s comments are paranoid and delusional. Try a new level of propaganda.

When you throw in the "non-combat" deaths in Iraq, and the soldiers that have died after they were sent to facilities out of Iraq for advanced treatment the number of US dead is well over 4,000 not to mention the thousands of horribly maimed for life individuals.

All for a meaningless war foisted upon us to more than double the price of oil for Bush and his Saudi Shiek friends.

All that''s been accomplished is putting an Islamic ruler in charge of Iraq. All the terrorists have to do is wait for us to pull out and in the meantime snipe and kill as many of us as they can.

When you look at the list of people killed by rank it is very heavy on the captain and above- these people know they are killing many of our best leaders on the ground and the "terorists" really don''t lose many people at all from their leadership corps.

This is certainly a stupid pointless war, not so different from Vietnam in terms of it''s uselessness and futility of purpose unless you look at the $100-million profit a day that Exxon and the other oil companies are raking in.

So our economy is in the dumps due to the drain and due to the fact that almost everything we buy is now made in China. Thankfully the Chinese will probably lend us the money for the upcoming stimulus package. Both the Dims and the Repugs are a bunch of liars and crooks with the Decider calling the shots.

Our entire current Administration (led by "The Decider") should be sent to the front lines immediately following this election. Let''s see how hawkish they''d be after receiving their orders to join our troops in Iraq! Canada''s borders would be clogged within an hour!! Bush and Cheney need to be charged with war crimes!

This week, a group of Republican congressmen asked President Bush what his ''Plan B'' is if the current Iraq plan doesn''t work. The ''Plan B'' discussion was difficult for Bush, because it involves two areas where he''s extremely vulnerable -- Iraq and the alphabet.

The Human Garbage of America are still voting for War Pigs in the primaries...The Israel-firters and Open Border dogs, McCain and Obama lead their prospective parties...followed by Romney and Clinton...two more of the same...though Romney has made noises about dealing with illegals. Hucksterbee, the dog-gutting ***, announced that we were justified in invading Iraq.

A bill for a national draft is going through Congress...Will this be, like the Patriot Act, be passed on the heels of yet another false-flag attack on America by those who are trying to force war and a new world order upon the world?

The animals in Congress did not even read the Patriot Act--and they sold you down the police state drain. Which City will they hit this time?

Five young lives sacrificed on the altar of corruption and greed set up by the Shrub and Shooter. They won''t lose any sleep over it. What a tragic waste and for nothing.

Senator John McCain recently compared the situation in Iraq to the Vietnam era %u2014 to which President Bush replied, ''What does Iraq have in common with drinking beer in Texas.

As with any government agency they will use the citizens for their need regardless of the risk of them getting killed!
Here is something to think about!
The military recruits young people because they lack the ability to reason logically!
The male brain is not fully developed until around the age of 22! The part that is last to develop is the frontal cortex, That is where good reasoning comes from! It is the main reason why our young people are getting killed in traffic accidents and the reason of so many failed marriages!
The government knows this and uses this , otherwise their recruiting quotas would be low!
As usual the citizens are being used for cannon fodder!
