The fact that these authors even reference "The Coalition" tells me they're about as honest as Fox News. - Reply to this comment
- They've been doing this surge thing since a few years back and just decided to call it by another name. THank you Watcher269, for this clip: www.brasschecktv.com/page/103.html
This video shows how corruption ensnared this war, how it will never be won with Republicans in office, and that Bush is likely guilty of treason. - Reply to this comment

Expand out of Iraq with what??? The surge troops?? They can't even get out of Baghdad, for christ sake!! Use the Iraqi soldiers???
Have you not paid attention to what has been happening this last 4 years.
go the PBS.org and watch the Frontline segment called End Game. It sums up how and why we are stuck in Iraq very well, and trust me on this, not one of the generals interviews, all of them Iraq vets, think we should expand the war.
Jesus, what a nut case...... - Reply to this comment
- "Bush, though you obviously hate him so, did not formulate the current plan."
As commander in chief, it is his plan. He owns it, and our fellow citizens are paying for it, not to mention the untold number of Iraqis. - Reply to this comment
- "The Bush Administration's New Strategy Will Likely Succeed"
Well, if the "strategy" is to do nothing different, continue letting people die in the hundreds, wait for the 2008 elections and then blame whoever wins for "losing Iraq", yeah, it's a "slam dunk". Stinks as strategy, but these scab-eating death cultists couldn't care less about our soldiers OR the Iraqis. - Reply to this comment

Thanks for posting. I had not seen this film. - Reply to this comment
- Why didn't we "fight" like this 4 years ago. Instead the Bu$hies under manned the effort and now all that is left is failure.

- What planet did these two administration flunkies come from. Not earth by any stretch. Virtually every print, radio and tv report out of Iraq contradicts everything they wrote in this article. Did they hold their noses as they were writing the article or are they certifyable insane.
During the weekend over 160 Iraiqs died by violence as did eight our of your guys. And that is progress?
Can someone on the far right as these two guys are ever wake up and realize that the bad guys will never meet us head-to-toe. With our air power and navy power, we would wipe them out before our ground power ever came into play. So, they will never have pitched battles with us. When we are too strong in one place, they show up in another place.
Please lock up these two yahoos for their own safety. - Reply to this comment
- America lost this war before it was started - watch this segment from youtube - I saw this for the first time today and it made me MAD that Bush and Cheney/haliburton care nothing about our troops and winning. I hope the like works here

Re: "the only way to win middle east, is to expand out of Iraq and move on to where the sources of these insurgency. Syria and Iran."
Spoken like a true Israeli-firster, and PNAC dead-ender. - Reply to this comment
- the only way to win middle east, is to expand out of Iraq and move on to where the sources of these insurgency. Syria and Iran. In conjunction with that, we need to inject that islamic mentality with a bit of freedom to choose aka liberalism. We have the technology to do so, Ironically enough that is IF THE LIBERALS WOULD ALLOW these terrorists to be dealt with to be able to plant that seed of liberalism is the MAJOR PROBLEM.

- Wow! Operation "Phantom Thunder!" That's an awesome name, and the neocons will eat it up like candy. Maybe Toby Keith can make a new song and use "Phantom Thunder" in it somewhere.
"Phantom Thunder" is a bigger woodie than "The Surge." And since the surge is basically failing, we can now have Rush and Fox News focus on how Americans should show their respect for "Operation Phantom Thunder." Because with a name like that, it must be good.
Great idea Karl!

- "The Coalition Forces?"
Whose left in the coalition? Prince Harry can't play. I think its the U.S. troops and two guys from Greece in "The Coalition."

- Antillo99,
The puppet-officials in Iraq lack any legitimacy and authority, and do not have the support of the Iraqi people.
The Iraqi people have every right to defend themselves against the brutal and illegal invasion of their country, and against collaborators, including the currently installed 'officials'.
'al-Qaeda-in-Iraq' appears to be a shabby hoax, aimed at tying the illegal and disgraceful invasion of Iraq to the 'War on Terror', where no such 'link' exists, contrived as a divide and rule tactic by the illegitimate Bush regime against the people of Iraq, and as a pathetic excuse for continuing the illegal war where no justification exists.
The illegal U.S.-led invasion of Iraq is a crippling military, economic, and moral defeat for the people of the U.S., and we must bring those responsible for it before a war crimes tribunal, if we ever hope to recover from this grave error. - Reply to this comment
