We are so screwed.. Bush and his cronies got us into this war and now they have no idea how to win or how to get out. Now is a good time to by stock in body bags.

Unfortunately there are a lot of bad strong-arm dictators in the world and they rule certain places for a reason. That is why Saddam was in power. The people of this artificially-made country could not live with each other and this wa an interim step, to keep the peace and even prosper, which would have evolved into somthing possibly democratic if we had just left him alone WITH the restrictions we had already placed on him. This moronic administration still doesn't get it.

Well, it certainly is nice to read that everybody in Iraq is getting along so well. It's so exciting to watch democracy blossom in that country. I'm so thankful to have a leader like Bush with such vision!

webdepot I said the same thing a few days ago about pulling out and watch from the borders, its the only option left

[old300d]

So now we call them militiamen instead of terrorists ? Why don't they call them what they really are and quit making deals with them ?

[webdepot]

Sorry... but these people don't deserve to live in an open and free society... they fully deserve to be crushed under the heavy boot of some dictator... that seems to be the ONLY thing that keeps them in check.. A more sorry excuse for human beings I have never witnessed.

I would fully be in favor of deploying all our troops to the borders to keep outside influence at bay, and let those in the interior have at each other for six to eight months.. then we can work with whoever is left to rebuild Iraq.. One thing for sure... a hell of a lot less infrastructure will be needed to house the diminished population.

They should have taken out Al-sadr at the beggining of the war when they had the chance. Packed his raggedy a** up and sent him to Gitmo with all the other losers. But, no, Bush had to pussyfoot around and play the politicly correct war. And now everyone pays for it. Remember when they would'nt fire into Mosques, even if they were receiving fire from them at the begining of the war?

These religious factions have been slaughtering each other for over two centuries. What made Bush think being born a Bush could change that?
And why did so many Americans applaud while others people children went off to this war?
I hope at least one person in the U.S. has learned to question whatever a politician tells you - regardless of their political party or what Rush Limbaugh tells you you should think.

Israel has the right idea and only solution - targeted air attacks and missile strikes on the leaders of terrorist organizations. Hit them in their cars, in their homes or on the streets. If their families are with them, then that's just too bad.

al-Sadr should be at the top of the list.

The Shiite demagogue Muqtada al-Sadr is responsible for countless deaths. Even al-Maliki, the Head of State, owes his job to him and has to answer to him. What kind of political system is that? Small wonder Shiite death sqads have have free run, making even al-Qaeda a small potatoes outfit in comparison. Bin Laden and al-Zarqawi are the Little League of terrorism compared to the leaders of the Sunni and Shiite factions.

al-Sadr has the gall to blame the recent tragedy on US forces for "not providing enough security". What a joke - he cries when the US sets up checkpoints, and then he commands al-Maliki to have them dismantled, which the puppet leader of Iraq complies with obediently.

I think his Mahdi Army, which is a heavily armed cadre of godless killers, has more than enough power to "provide security", Iraqi-style. This putrid, contemptible "cleric" should be taken out, if it's the last thing the US does there - and the sooner the better.

A tribal, ignorant nation of backward, 13th century pawns, Iraq will never be ready for democracy, and their perverted and twisted religion with its culture of endless revenge is guaranteed to keep them in the Dark Ages forever.

I admire what the US tried to accomplish for the people of Iraq, but no amount of help, cash or attempts at security will help people who just want to kill each other in the name of religion.

Blame Mohammed.
