Comments on: Petraeus: We Need More Than Troops

"Industrial Strength Insurgency" In Afghanistan Must Be Overcome With Political And Economic Progress

[ljb6599]

Why is it that none of these comments relate to the article"Patraeus- We need more than troops"??? I will make a comment.When is active diplomacy going to begin in Irag.The surge was supposed to provide this.As far as I can tell nothing is happening.We continue to be foreign occupiers of another country with no end in sight.The Iragi government now seems hopelessly dependent on the U.S. military.

arrrgh! this is so frustrating! Just now they get the idea that this country needs economic stuff too. DUH!

If they had thought of this before we would have been out of there by now and Iraq and the USA would have a nice friendly relationship where they''d be selling us all kinds of oil.

We''ve missed so many opportunities and blown so chances. As soon as that statue of sadam was pulled down we should have had boatloads of equipment and supplies going over there to make their lives better (after all, that was the whole idea wasn''t it? Making their lives better with democracy. Or maybe the WMD? Or maybe badboy Saddam. I can''t remember.).

TO accomplish this, our army could have made things safe (at that time they could handle it) and our national guard with their tons of knowledge in the civilian sector could have helped teach them skills to make their country better. We had Drs and nurses and electritians and plumbers and construction workers and farmers and a wealth of knowledge that would have gone a long long ways in relations, but we squandered it over the "shock and awe" of the bush administration. And now we''ve got McBush coming up where everyone''s googly-eyed over Caribou Barbie, and not thinking through the fact that if they get in there they''ll be running us into the ground more with stupid decisions.

Everyday Grandpa McCain changes his policies to where I doubt most of you have a clue what he is for or against. You might as well face it moron Palin is an extremist who was put in the position to please the religious fruitcakes in the Republican Party! It was strictly a political move. Regardless of whether they are Moslem''s or Christian''s an extremist is an extremist. The woman isn''t qualified to be dog catcher!

The most powerful political party in the world is the catholic religion.when they as a group get sick and tired to to the point that they all sit down and just stop.You will see cahos beyond the touches of any president any where.In thier hands lies the power to stop it all.Those people will strike through out the world when the and if the pope says. This all wrong and no good catholic can be a part of this stop your fighting and sit down. It could happen that quick and the people who thought they they had control of things will discover that they have been running with blinders on.

skyk239 - Listen you moron, I don''t care about the rest of this lowlifes post. I''m sure he''s also said that we deserved 9/11. Why would you stick up for him. Oh that''s right.. Liberals do that. Care more about their olitical affiliation than anything else.

skyk239 - The only thing that scares me is that bleeding heart liberals like yourself elect a moron like Obama into the most powerful position in the free world. Russia and the rest of the world are chomping at the bit hoping this idiot get elected.And when it all comes crashiong down you''ll be able to thanks yourselves for doing so.. GOOD JOB.

skyk239 - A true American would not sit there and tell us that they should have shot one of our Helicopters no matter what. Those guys are there because our Government has sent them. right or wrong they are still American soldiers and when a *** like tapsettle says S*it like this we all should be offended whether you''''re a democrat or a Republican.

That''s all you got out of that post? You didn''t read anything else? I know he got carried away but after 8 years of stupidity, failure, Lies and outright fraud, it''s easy to understand how someone would. THE POINT you poor simple minded loser is that BUSH allowed them there, HE agreed to that Safe Haven, HE told us they didn''t matter and HE lied to us to start another war that had NOTHING to do with the Attack on this nation. TRY LISTENING to and UNDERSTANDING your fellow citizen while at the same time saying "you went to far".

Oh Please you people have worn these LIES out. You can''t possibly think people still buy them... Well okay NORMAL People. LOL McCain is the one who has flip flopped on EVERY major issue AND can''t seem to tell us the truth about ANYTHING. Obama is a fresh new leader who can inspire people. When you have MAJOR banks going belly up you''d better have someone who at least KNOWS what it''s like to pay bills.
