The neocons complain that the few that are reported get air time. They want NONE reported. (That would make the Kool-Aid easier to sell....)

"Iraqi deaths mount,many Americans Unaware".
Please CBS,bring the real news(I know you can't because of Censor on war news).
The right heading would be;
"American deaths mount,many Americans Unaware".
According to Pentagon,there are One thousand attacks per week against US troops in Iraq.After looking at the sophistication of those attacks by an UNSEEN ENEMY who doesn't wear Military uniform,doesn't follow Geneva convention,and is ready to blow himself or herself up in order to kill his or her enemy,only a person living in fantasy world can believe that only one soldier dies in one of these attacks.Check out

Click on
Islamist website monitor project
Click on Islmist website monitor #17
Click on the video link under the heading of
Islmist video shows Bombings in Iraq.
One thousand attacks per week means more then One hundred and fourty attack per day.
Even if we assume that only one soldier dies in those attacks,the number of US death tolls become One Thousand per week and Four thousands per months.
If anybody thinks that govt and news media are not hiding the truth,check out that how many of those One Hundred and fourty attacks today have been reported in the news today.

The Iranians don't think so. They're tickled pink the neocons, in their stupidity, gave Iran SE Iraq to infiltrate by taking out the gatekeeper Hussein.

heetseeker -

You are correct in all your points but I feel you neglect to mention the principal problem, which is, that they US is trying to use a completely useless military strategy in Iraq.

A standing army will never defeat a competent guerilla force that has the support of the local populace.

And it won't make any difference how many years we continue to employ it, the results will always be the same.

"Iraqi Deaths Mount, Many Americans Unaware" Sounds like a description of the "Christian" red states. As a Californian who is well aware of the destruction and loss of life the Bush cabal has wrought I feel fortunate to live in a progressive state that legalizes medicinal marijuana, funds our own stem cell research and wlil pass a personal freedom to die by your own choice bill soon. It's the backwards masses in the midwest that elected this bunch and are responsible for its actions. It's disgusting that they now claim ignorance of the misery they helped to bring about.

In that phrase alone you have captured the fool-hardiness of our adventure in Iraq. It is based purely on presumption - not knowledge. We presumed (correctly) that Iraqi's want to be free of tyranny. We also presumed (correctly) that they would have an appetite for democracy. However, we lacked real knowledge of the underlying tensions in Iraqi society, nor the cultural underpinnings and belief system. Everyday we are reminded of our lack of knowledge and as a consequence, rather than being able to develop a long term strategy, we are simply responding to events.

Day after day, month after month, year after year we get proof like this which shows it to be a situation that a standing army will never control through military means, yet the neocons keep up the requests....more, more, more.

How utterly absurd.

Hawk,, They where citizen volenteers, slave conscripts, & citizen militias..

[j-whitman]

Hawk,, Give us another Bush/Cheney/Rice combination --- We will be at war again, brother against brother, cousin against cousin, & even son against father, & neighbor against neighbor.

[j-whitman]

Hawk,,,, Friend, don't bet on it. We are both capable of it... Have you forgotten our own Civil War ?? Even during our Revolution & French & Indian wars, Americans did kill other Americans..

[j-whitman]

David,,, That's what our Generals say also,, The admit to terrorism solution is Geo-Political.

[hawksprings]

But I would never kill you, no matter how much I dissagree with you. And I would ESPECIALLY never strap a bomb on myself and walk in to your house and blow myself up to kill you. And I would never load my car with bombs to kill you.

It's really insane.

[j-whitman]

Hawk,, Not too suprising really, look at all the anger we generate between our own, here on these discussions... It's worse on U-tube.

[david1737]

There is no military solution to this.

[samthetvcat]

The neo-cons actually think the surge is working!?!

[j-whitman]

Bush should follow Blaires lead -- Pull Troops out & redeploy,,, This war is lost, even McCain knows it.
