Comments on: 8 Captured In Iraq Security Crackdown

Suspected Insurgents Captured North Of Baghdad; Shiite Rites To Begin In Karbala

Many of the men and women in the service signed up in response to the 9/11 attack.

I don't think they envisioned risking their lives to protect Iraqi Shiite Pilgrims or Islamic shrines.

They wanted to protect Americans.

"Even something as relatively painless as tax preparation needs that April deadline to enforce it."

The IRS doesn't tell you they're establishing an April benchmark for your tax filing, and that they will then evaluate your progress in meeting it.

The IRS gives you a deadline.

The Iraqi government has already had four years.

He noted that such political negotiations "will determine in the long run the success of this effort."
Gen. petraeus

Oh, really, we didn't realize that....it means we have to talk to someone? Before unilateral action?
Is that Neocon-cratic ?

[karlimhof]

"We have not set our military up for success. We're not firing on all cylinders, diplomatically, economically and politically.
Gen. Batiste

need we say more.....?

[iceman_1960]

"Benchmarks" for which the Iraqi government faces no consequences if they don't meet them -- that's just another word for "Non-binding Resolutions."

Anyone with real world experience knows you have to set real deadlines for difficult tasks, or they won't get done.

Even something as relatively painless as tax preparation needs that April deadline to enforce it.

We should give the Iraqi government real deadlines and tell them we're pulling out if they don't meet them.

The surge hasn't really started yet. Let the games begin. My company manufactures body bags and I need the business.

you are one sick sick dude

[crater7]

At some point, you have to say enough, is enough. First it was 21,500 more troops, already they are asking for more troops. They will be needed to guard the expected increase of insurgent prisoners. How many will they be asking for next month? My queston is, why cant the Iraqi's run these prisons? If they cant be trusted to oversee a prison, then what can they be trusted to do? Would you trust the Iraqi's enough to leave troops behind and living with these same Iraqi police, that cant be trusted to run these prisons? Your Son, Daughter, love one, may be left in the care of these Iraqi's.

[iceman_1960]

One_American declared the Surge victorious after the first 48 hours of quiet, and predicted that Democrats who opposed it were facing "political suicide."

That Crystal Ball is defective, sir.

Get your money back.

[karlimhof]

And if you don't like the war, the mission, or this country - more so the latter, kindly leave it. Live in one of the roach holes. I'm sure you will loved there especially when they slit your scrawny necks, bozo fascists.

[iceman_1960]

If Bill Clinton had gone to Congress and gotten a formal Declaration of War, I wouldn't have had any problem with his Balkans campaign.

He didn't.

Lieber1881 and his crowd will never forgive Clinton for losing no Americans in combat in that campaign. How it would have pleased them to scream on this forum, "Clinton lied and 3,000 Americans died in the war with the Serbs !!"

That would have made them so happy -- it would have been better than SE*X for them.

[iceman_1960]

"Of course, a moronic fascist like you - and the rest of the surrender monkeys liked Cliton [sic] - a draft dodging pervert who rained bombs down on Serbs who were NEVER a threat to the U.S." - Lieber1881

Clinton submitted to the draft (eventually), took a physical at an American military base in England and then took his chances with the draft lottery.

Bush dodged the draft completely.

Get your facts straight.

[omnibus66]

So we are beginning to see the admission that the "surge" is not working. Naturally the insurgents are going to take their attacks to areas where the U.S. forces are thinnest, and we end up playing "whack-a-mole" with them. The whole thing is sheer madness, promoted by the madman-in-chief.

Do not look for the Democrats to be able to do anything to stop it, since they do not have a large enough majority in either house of Congress. Additionally, the madman-in-chief would veto anything they might manage to pass.

The key rests with the rubber-stamp Republicans. IF and when enough of them realize that their rubber-stamping is ruining this nation, we will return to sanity.

[iceman_1960]

Here is the kind of supporter Bush has been reduced to:

"I'm sure you will loved there especially when they slit your scrawny necks, bozo fascists."

Bush is welcomed to that clown and all the other clowns he can crowd into a Hundred Man March in support of policies that have failed as surely as the maiden voyage of the Titanic.

[formrusmcsgt]

I have been stating here forever that a standing army will never defeat a motivated, competent guerilla force that has the support of the local populace.

The neocons always respond that I do not know what I'm talking about, that I'm a traitor, an enemy agent, etc., and we just need more troops to get the job done.

Well, this morning Dubya's hand picked boy finally spoke the truth:

No military solution to Iraq - U.S. chief

POSTED: 5:59 a.m. EST, March 8, 2007

BAGHDAD, Iraq (Reuters) -- U.S. and Iraqi security forces cannot solve the problem of violence in Iraq without political action and reconciliation with some militant groups, the U.S. commander in Iraq said on Thursday.

General David Petraeus, in his first news conference in Baghdad since he took command last month, also said he saw no immediate need to request more U.S. troops, but reinforcements already requested would likely stay "well beyond the summer."

"There is no military solution to a problem like that in Iraq, to the insurgency of Iraq," Petraeus said.

east/03/08/iraq.petraeus.reut/index.html


Now you neocons, call Petraeus an enemy agent and traitor for speaking the truth - go ahead.

[iceman_1960]

Cheer up, General Petraeus.

Does this man look worried ?

http://wwwimage.cbsnews.com/images/2006/03/20/image1422382g.jpg

That picture is from a CBS story about a year ago: 3/20/2006:

"President Bush on Monday cited progress in stabilizing an insurgent stronghold in northern Iraq, saying he has "confidence in our strategy" and contending that critics should look beyond the images of violence to see clear signs of progress."

[bluestardad]

How long are we to STAY THE COURSE in Iraq? Many times have Democrats said they will introduce resolutions to end the war but still they fund the war and the Republicans do what they want. America says get our troops out of Iraq! This war was started on a lie, with no planning no health care for our wounded or policy to win the peace with an exit strategy! Democratic Non Binding resolutions are not enough! Democrats keep moving back the date when they will take significant action to stop the war and each time they do nothing but move the date back again to another later date. If this Democratic Leadership cannot get America out of Iraq it is time to change the Democratic Leadership! Bush and Cheney are nothing but liars and war criminals but the Democrats are partakers and just as guilty by their complacency!

"But Petraeus stressed that military force alone is "not sufficient" to end the violence in Iraq and political talks must eventually include some militant groups now opposing the U.S.-backed government."

***.

Another Leftie aiding and abetting the insurgents.
