Al-Maliki Flexes Political Muscle By Winning U.S. Agreement To End Checkpoints

If this don't convince people that we have no business in Iraq, nothing will. Here we have spent 500 BILLION dollars, 2800 American lives, tens of thousands wounded and mained and we are now being told they don't want our help anymore.

We should never have gone there to begin with, and we ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to stay now. Even Bush, as stupid as he is, can understand this message. How much more plain does it need to be said?

Thanks "usmcmike44".

"It's mind blooging isn't it? Casey says another 100,000 Iraqis to secure the country. That is 425,000 total. If we had started out the that many boots on the ground at the start of this mess, we wouldn't be in this mess!"

This war in Iraq is EXACTLY what the experts (the CIA, Pentagon) said it was going to be.

Fools rush in and that is what we did going into Iraq, so calling the people wanting this war stupid or arrogant fits the bill just fine.

GW Bush has nothing to do with the way the military is going to employ tactics.

The military commanders do not want unnecessary deaths, but right now, they are on the ground in Iraq, by order of the President. People are dying all around our troops and they cannot do much about it. They do not know why they are there, or why the people in Iraq started killing each other.

If the experts said it would be this way, why did we not take the time to create a better plan? I think I know part of the reasons: "politics". The party wanting this war needed it to BEGIN quickly or it might never come to pass.

How unfortunate for our brothers and sisters in the military that they can be wasted along side of Iraqi people without a known, true and just cause.

This is so stupid for us to be in Iraq.We went for wmd's we didn't find them then it was to get saddam and they got him. know it is terrisim the president lied to convince him self as well as the American poeple it is that easy. Our troops are being killed over a bunch of lies.The Iraqies will start fighting each other the minute we leave they have been fighting for thousands of year and just do it for a thousand more.The President is trying to convince him self as well as the american poeple that it is the right thing to do

One thing more.How would we be able to differentiate,who among those 100,000 troops not from one of the insurgent groups,when even the Prime Minister of Iraq is an Islamic Radical who takes all the advises from AYATOLLAH SISTANI and has brotherly relations with Iranian president whose animosty against west is as clear as a bright sun.

How many troops would have sent to Iraq,it would only help to make the ISLAMIC RADICALS strong and power full.During the time of Saddam Hussain,the only people who were most previledge and had no problem getting jobs were the IRAQI CATHOLICS called CALDIANS,since Saddam had no problem of power from them.He knew that in a Muslim country,nobody would like to see a Catholic being President.How much of troops we would have sent there,they would only help to remove SECULAR SADDAM from power and to bring the RADCIAL SHIAs into power on the name of DEMOCRACY to formed a CHAIN of EXTREMIST GOVERMNETS from Iran to HIZBOLLAH in Lebanon.Iraqi SHIAs like Maliki and Sadr are even more extremist then Iranian radicals,as the most SECRED SHIA PLACES are in IRAQ namely NAJAF and KARBALA.

Noori-al-maliki and Muqtada-al-Sadr have so many things in common like they both are EXTREMIST SHIAs,both work for the RADICAL ISLAMIC GOVT OF IRAN,they both are brothers who wanted to establish a RADICAL ISLAMIC GOVT IN IRAQ and have been helped by the United States in doing that with the tax payed by US tax payers.Saddam Hussain was a Secular Dictator who had killed his own people because they wanted to establish a RADICAL ISLAMIC STATE based on the hatred of WEST.Even the most RADICAL ISLAMIST could not be able to help ISLAMIC RADICALISM like Bush Administration did.After tens of thousands of weapons being missing,it is very clear how HIZBOLLAH in Lebanon was so well armed while fighting.Iran is next to Iraq,Syria is next to Iraq,Lebanon is next to Syria.Now it's not a problem at all for the MALIKI GOVT to take weapons given to them by our tax money and then transport it to their HIZBOLLAH brothers in Lebanon and to the insurgents killing US troops in Iraq.

Nothing Bush can accomplish now can even begin to atone for the colossal failure he has brought our nation in this unnecessary, senseless, invasion. The Americen lives that were lost (not to mention innocent Iraqis)and the families that have been destroyed can never be replaced. The hundreds of billions of dollars dumped on ungrateful and corrupt Iraqis can never be recouped. Pray the democrats win on Nov. 7 and maybe, just maybe, there will be some form of accounting for the corruption and incompetency that this administration has brought us.
