Comments on: Casey: Only Half Iraq Troop Boost Needed

Outgoing Top Commander In Iraq Says Baghdad Could Be Secured With Smaller U.S. Troop Buildup

Their Quran condemns Christians, Jews, and all others who oppose of Islam.

And your manual condems all those who reject Christianity.

So fcuking what?

[exusmcsgt]

They hate Jews, and they hate Christians. THat's why they HATE the United States and Israel, because our countries are predominantly Christian and Jewish
Posted by singinrick at 10:51 AM : Feb 02, 2007

And you hate Muslims.

[rafterman1]

"-Exactly, and this is EXACTLY what the Islamics say about the Jews. It's in their Quran."

So you are going to give the hate right back to them? Isn't that what Jesus said to NOT do?

[exusmcsgt]

There is the real God, and there are the false Gods.

This is common sense, even if you aren't "religious" as you like to call it.
Posted by singinrick at 10:49 AM : Feb 02, 2007

That's common sense? Common sense would preclude the making of such a statement without proof of such.

You are the least of all here to speak of common sense, rick. You abandonded it when you allowed yourself to be programmed with dogma.

[rafterman1]

"No ****!"

Actually, now that I think of it, it would make more sense to replace "Americans" with "Germans". American Muslims, German Jews, that sort of thing :)

[exusmcsgt]

Gee. Replace "Americans" with "Jews" and you have a line pretty close to a line in one of Hitler's speeches.

No ****!

[rafterman1]

"they were already here, fooling everybody by "fitting in" with society and looking like honest, hard working Americans with a secret, evil hidden agenda inside their hearts"

Gee. Replace "Americans" with "Jews" and you have a line pretty close to a line in one of Hitler's speeches.

[exusmcsgt]

don't get me started. We don't want to go there remember?
Posted by singinrick at 10:32 AM : Feb 02, 2007

Maybe you don't want to go there, but I have nothing to hide.

You justify you flavor of religion and condemn others. I have read the Bible and do not speak about Christianity through ignorance.

Your manual calls for spreading the word just as the Quran does.

It is also filled with religious wars.

What you can't stand is a competing "truth", plain and simple.

[exusmcsgt]

I might add it's the 2nd most rapidly spreading religion in the world. Scary stuff.
Posted by singinrick at 10:22 AM : Feb 02, 2007

Being eat up with religion yourself, why are you scared that others believe as well, rick? Just because it's not the dogma you bought into? Only yours is good and theirs is bad? is that it?

All religions claim that they are the only genuine article.

"This is what Iranian, Syrian and Iraqui insurgents love to read and hear!! They love to know that their enemies are bickering over there resources and strategies."

The nature of democracy. If you want a country where there is only one view and one policy, there are plenty to choose from, like China, North Korea and Cuba.

For anyone with a bit of military experience you will know that even at platoon levels plans are analyzed. The tools may be a stick and some dirt but they are analyzed. At Company level and above they are analyzed to a greater degree up to computer planning analysis. Computers like the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) serve this purpose giving real time variable analysis to commanders. The AFATDS computer analyzes all types of data to give Course of Action Analysis for possible scenarios. This Computer is in use now in the military in the Middle East and the data is available for all commanders! On CSPAN General Casey Jr. told Senator Warner that he was not aware of any War Gaming for the New Surge! He was unaware if the plan had even been tried on Paper! The Government spent multi Millions of tax dollars giving him a computer that would analyze possible courses of action for him. This General currently is suppose to be the General in Charge of the Iraq War! General Casey is now under consideration for the Chief of Staff of the Army! Can you accept that he is not aware if the Iraq Surge Plan we are debating had ever been War Gamed to determine plausibility, probability of Success, or any type of supporting Course of Action Analysis had been done to determine a possible outcome! It is criminally negligent to send 21,000 more troops to a war where the plan had never been analyzed for success!

[exusmcsgt]

"I actually don't see it as slow failure," said Casey. "I see it as slow progress."

What total BS. Iraqi deaths continue to spiral upward year after year, the U.S. has no more control in Iraq than it did 4 years ago, and this clown still tries to put a face of accomplishment on the situation.

Only a total moron would accept his assessment.

[pensacola8-2009]

This is what Iranian, Syrian and Iraqui insurgents love to read and hear!! They love to know that their enemies are bickering over there resources and strategies. Whether this war turns into comedy or trajedy will all be learned in the end. Bah!! These Senate hearings are for show! Not even our enemies beleive what the Senators are showing! Americans are the greatest killers in the world and proud of it. We loose one soldier but killed ten enemies in the process. Attrition is still on our side. Those insurgents are like rats - totally dehumanized. Pest control is about environmental relationships - toxic ones. We will be living with this as long as we live there. What do our Saudi friends have to say? What about our Jordanian friends? Maybe they spoke and were never heard. We are the cause of our own trajedy or comedy! Our enemies just hate our pride to the core of their hearts. That is why they won't quit.

[observantx]

Casey's another Kool Aid Klown !!

GeorgenDick never put enough troops in place to begin with. Rummy refused to listen to anyone about troop levels and that left the country never in control. The Iraqis figured that out when they started looting and settling old scores after the fall of Baghdad and nobody stopped them. It went on for days and our troops and the commanders there just sat on their hands. Why? Because nobody was ever in charge. Nobody issued orders. They all sat around looking at each other while waiting for Rummy to make some royal decree and nothing happened.

Now GeorgenDick want to reward this klown with the post of Army Chief of Staff. That%u2019s the White House for you. Totally flop on your face and get promoted. Heckovajob Casey!! Have some more Kool Aid, you Klown.

"-Colmes does the same thing to Conservatives"

Yeah, when he's allowed to speak (he is Fox's token liberal you know). Whenever I'm flipping around, everytime I land on Fox and Hannity and Colmes are on, I always see Hannity blabbering. Colmes doesn't get to say cr@p half the time.

He should be drummed from the service as this is total dereliction of Duty. To Send 21,000 more troops to a war where the plan had never been analyzed for success to his knowledge!

Whoops There it is! These idiots in uniform or out that support the troop surge have not even performed course of Action analysis on this plan to determine the probability of success! that is criminal!

[jms_cheung]

Whether it's a `slow failure' or slow progress makes no difference as long as US troops get killed almost daily! Whether it's troops increase or not makes no difference as long as US troops are easy tartgets like SITTING DUCKS!
As long as the Iraqi Army is composed of Shiites majority, the terror will continue. Let the Iraqi Army/Officers composed of EQUAL quota of Shiites, Kurds & Sunnis...get them to do all the routine patrolling/checkpoints...etc..and all US soldiers should be IN BARRACKS...wait for orders to move out to crush terrorist hideouts or positions of the Mehdi army . Secret agents like 007 James Bond or the Gestapo should be sent out to track the locations of terrorists or insurgents...once confirmed, sent out the whole brigage to FLATTEN them....this will result in almost ZERO US casualty ! By so doing, the current daily bombings should be stopped ..Since Iran is the sponsor of terrorism in Iraq and elsewhere, all its weaponry/nuclear reactors should be WIPED OUT to prevent it to export more terrorism worldwide...With this strategy, 50 thousands US troops in Iraq is considered too much ,as compared to present above 100 thousands troops !

[cowgirl21_07]

I agree that the war in Iraq is really important but so many troops? There are those of us that end up over there and basically were stuck in a prison like settlement. Whole squadrons are going over there when only a third of the people are needed. Only a few birds are needed. They need to start bringing troops back. Im going I know that for a fact and Im scared, you would have to be incredibly stupid not to be scared in a war zone. But if my going brings one parent home to see their familys then Ive done my job, and I would hope some one would feel the same about replacing me. Im fine with going, but I dont like seeing these kids fresh out of high school going to war, they havent even had a chance to live like a young adult and they are giving their lives to a war they may not fully understand. Some of these kids coming out of school, their young parents trying to make ends meat, so they join the forces. Bring these kids home, stop sending them to their deaths.
