The surge in iraq worked or it would still be in the news, remember leftwing central never publishes good news in regards to Iraq.

If we had McCain in office this nation probably would have been in utter destruction by now with the BOMB, BOMB, SURGE, SURGE theories.

But can you honestly say that we will not be involve in other situations that we are facing now. Like being in combat with Iran over their election process or because of (idle) verbal threat given by North Korea. Would McCain cost us more lives and money?

Not Blue- fails to comprehend that just as many troops were there in the beginning of the invasion......the so called surge was just a re-deployment to prior troop levels (perhaps a few thousand more than originally there)

What Not Blue fails to take into account was that the Anbar Awakening was what shifted the momentum along with moderates disgusted by the acts that terrorist brought to their country.

They hated us, but they began to hate the extremists more......

The 'surge' helped but it most certainly wasn't the deciding factor in the war.

You are a moral idiot.

1991 RR stated to the World, hands off Poland. I can't imagine Pres. Bush II being so timid.

[DocD--2008]

And I suppose you, would do as McCain would have done, and started us in yet another war? So when do YOU leave for Iran?

[DouglasEdwards]

There was no million protesters. That is the lies the Fox News lackys are saying to get us to buy their BS. By making us obey them so they can get us to buy their versions of Bush! The entire economic ruin was because they let Bush lie to us about weapons of mass destrution while the rich (like news casters) raped our economy.

Weakness = GWB's mental retardation, Cowardice = GWB's failure to take onwership of being responsible for the 3,000 Twin Tower Deaths b/c he did nothing after a CIA report in AUGUST 2001 naming Alqaida as to lauch an attack. Appeasement = GWB's actions on failing to regulate his Wall Street golfing buddies. Moral Failure = GWB's failure to show up for most of his National Guard Assignments and Go to Vietnam an serve like a man. Wrong side of History = GWB,McCain and government_control otherwise your man would be President now.

It was reproted in Iranian news that as many as two million protested at one rally and march, that is a bit more than a few hundred. Secondly, these protesters did so under the threat of physical harm or even death. Typical lib, midigate the savagery of the ruling radicals and minamize the brave efforts of these protesters.

[notblue]

First of all this article has nothing to do with Iraq, secondly, the Iranians are also responsible for the "bloob bath" in Iraq. Why is it you libs blame only America and only one side of the political equation when it comes to Iraq? Why don't you people ever blame the Islamic radicals? I guess you hate Americans worse.

[despido]

In my opinion, the posts in this forum demonstrate the fact that American's still have difficulty relating to any culture other than their own. Just as Iraq created Hussein, Iran created the Ayatollah. This type of government - iron fist and razor sharp sword - is the only type of government that works with these cultures. When you have a strong presence of religious extremism change is very slow coming, and bloodshed is normal and expected.

The East Germans peered over a wall and watched Westerners flaunt a hedonistic lifestyle for 40 years before moving to break their bounds. The mid-East has been watching for centuries with little effect. Even if Mousavi won, there would have been minimal change. Get used to it.

[legacyabq]

well, I have to agree with this...

But, lately, there has been some signs of improvement..

Look at Bahrain for example!

It will get better eventually..

People will always eventually, even if it takes centuries, rise up against oppression..

Unfortuneately, they just get oppressed by the NEW government!

LOL!
