And just when are you going to fight in Iraq?

Or are you all talk and you're going to let others do the fighting for you.

People like you are a great recruitment poster for insurgents.

Some 655,000 Iraqis killed so far, and millions more humiliated, imprisoned, tortured, and raped by various U.S. agents, since the beginning of the 2003, illegal Iraq debacle.

How many more will quench your thirst?

Now the apolologists are trying to blame the Iraqis and their puppet-government, for the devistating U.S. moral and military defeat in Iraq. This includes many prominent Democrats like Carl Levin. Disgusting.

I certainly hope that the U.S. has hit a low point, because this particular period in our history, is already an unbearable disgrace to our country.

Sounds like the work of U.S. sponsored Shi'ite death squads (thanks again, Mr. Negroponte)

Note to editor:

When you write the term "contractors", are you talking about "dry-wallers" or "flooring specialists", or do you mean something more like "mercenaries" or "killers for hire".

If you mean the latter, then we are talking about men who willingly sell their integrity and humanity to the highest bidder. It's difficult to think of a more contemptible profession.

Time our guys are taken out of police mode and back to war mode. Somebody shoots from a building blow the building down stop playing nice guy.

It is impossible that American Civilian contractors move from one place to another in IRAQ without U.S Military personnels.What happened to those Military personnels and how come enemies were able to kidnap Americans infront of American troops.
It is an evidence,how much our media and govt are hiding the truth.A lot more soldiers are dying every day in this UNCONVENTIONAL WAR then we are told.There is no use of being in a STATE OF DENIAL.Democracy means govt of the people.The people of UNITED STATES whose TAX money funds this NON-SENSE war have the full right to know what's actually going on in IRAQ.

Here it goes-- the undeclared civil war is declared with a vengeance. The obvious Sunni response is to interpret the Shia ministry edict as a death warrant for all Sunnis and and a brazen attempt to control their homeland.

Prior talk of partition will come to the fore, as Sunni and Shia realize religious differences are no weaker in Iraq than in Belfast. Perhaps, with no central authority commonly recognized, this is the only minimally-bloodless way out for all concerned.

Those opposed to partitioning the country must realize Iraq is an "unnatural" composite imposed by the Europeans after The Great War. The very concept of Iraq is the product of simple conditioning, backed by years of central control and authority in which all sectarian elements were ruthlessly hunted down and crushed. The same principle applied with former Soviet republics in Central Asia, which quickly seceded in the early 1990's as local Soviet garrisons were emptied.

Meanwhile, General Abizaid tells us the situation in Iraq is improving. Hmm.

[peterbaldwin-2009]

Anyone who believes that the dead civilians were wearing suicide vests should look into buying Florida swamp land.

Good work by the US military in discovering and killing nine terrorists wearing suicide vests. Wearing those vests should be punishable by death.
