Here, you''ll have to come up with something a little more believeable than "running out of population"...

Inasmuch as "Al Qaeda Crippled By U.S. Strategy" is true, the liberals in America are becoming mentally crippled at the same time because of the success of the surge.

Thank God for our Military men and women who are committed to making Iraq a success, and for a President who knows how to lead America!

Even if Al Qaeda were totally wiped out that would still leave 90%-95% of the insurgency.

With all the blood and treasure the U.S. has invested in Iraq, al Qaeda should at the very last be crippled. Too bad its happening to the wrong al Qaeda, this should be happening to the al Qaeda in Afghanistan, the al Qaeda with Osama bin Laden attached to it!

I didn''t realize that Blackwater were part of the US Military.

Why is it that those in favor of the war are always the least likely to join up and fight?

I mean, if you truly believe the lies that the Republicanazis keep spewing out, then you should be over in Iraq.

Then again, you sure do use a lot of excuses not to go over there.

You''re 4F, you''re newly married - what next - was it a man you married?

Don''t worry - they won''t ask, so you don''t need to tell.

Hmmm, or is it that you''re just too scared to fight for the lies of GW Bush and his corrupt a$$holes?

Never mind - there''s always Blackwater.

They take any old scum, so you should be over in Iraq and shooting 3 year old kids faster then you can say "GW Bush is a murdering piece of cr@p".

Just remember - Blackwater hires scum - you''ll fit right in.

For alanrobisch: I DO understand what 4F means! My suggestion that you go to work for Blackwater was based on the fact that most of their employees are unfit for military service. If they are not psychos, they, at least, have no understanding of discipline or emotional restraint -- qualities necessary to be "fit" for military service.

but it does give reason for hope that the soldiers actions will not be in vain.

The fact that all of the reasons given by Bush for them being there were all lies from the beginning, means that every death was and will be in vain, unless you count the profits of the war profiteers as justifiable.

"Al Qaeda Crippled By U.S. Strategy"

More accurately

Al Qaeda Is Part Of U.S. Strategy

To alanrobisch,

Any one with eyes, ears, and a modicum of sentience knows more about Iraq than Bush apparently does. He lied about everything Iraqi, and is still lying. The old saw about "the president knows more than you" is pure BS, and has been used for generations to avoid the obvious, that the president has done something clearly illegal, whether by accident or design, and is too much of a craven coward to admit it and accept the consequences...

All insurgents are now called "Al Qaeda in Iraq". It''s the new Lie.

Fun Fact :
Only 5% if the people who are attacking us call themselves Al Qaeda. And they weren''t in Iraq before we invaded.

===Maybe you are out of touch. I am sure you have access to more information than he does about Iraq. I can see reason for reserve and not assuming that this means we''''ve turned the corner, but it does give reason for hope that the soldiers actions will not be in vain.===

We probably do have more knowledge about Iraq than Bush does since Bush isn''t a "details" guy. But turn the corner? The body bags coming from Iraq and continued sectarian violence say different. And let''s not forget the, shall we say "creative", methods the Defense Department uses to count casualties.

If alanrobish is 4F, he can always go to work for Blackwater! It looks like they have a lot of guys at his level of competence!

I would not object to the surge being sucessful and Iraq being secured. I am very skeptical that playing wack-a-mole is going to be anything but a temporay respite. I think they have figure that by june of next year we will be out of resources to fight the war. When that happens we will be back in the same rut that we were in.

I think that Bush wants to hand off the war to the next president and then argue that that person is at fault for losing the war.

Bush is out of touch and he is nearly out of time.

Yeah, and we wouldn''''t have Texass, and we wouldn''''t have the Bushits, and we wouldn''''t have had Bill Clinton, and we wouldn''''t have a lot of other crapola. Oh no!

You really impressed me. do you ask your boss for a raise with that logic. I was a boss. If you spoke that way I''d suspend you if not fire you. Please note if you think logically at all I was trying to point out that perseverance in the face of adversity can result in good things. I can see you didn''t notice.

Support for the war is like gambling. If there is a little sign of winning that just ecourages more risk taking.

I Lincoln had listened and followed the polls we would have now a split country. Many more died and there were frequent serious defeats of the Union by the confederates. The first two major battles were unmitigated defeats of the Union. We were outmaneuvered and out fought despite often superior numbers. It took 4 different generals for them to come up with Grant who did what others couldn''t fight and not quit despite huge numbers of casualties

I know a whole lot more soldiers than you ever met and I have yet to year complaints from them about their job in Iraq. My father was wounded in wwII My brother was in the reserves. I was 4f. Most soldiers support the war.
