More miscalculations, more lies, more lives and more $ - enough! Congress please do something!

[azman80]

ITS TOO SAD HERE IN AMERICA, LAND OF THE FREE, LAND OF DEMOCROCY (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA) THAT A FEW FELLAS ARE RUINING OUR LIVES. WE NEED TO BE STRONGER THAN THEM. THEY ARE NOT HERE TO PROTECT US, THEY ARE TAKING FULL CONTROL OVER OUR LIVES. THESE GUYS ARE NOT GOD, NOT SUPERIOR POWERS, THEY ARE NOTHING. JUST A BUNCH OF RICH BILLIONARES AND MILLIONARES DOING WHAT THEY SEE FIT AND FAIR TO THEIR POCKETS AND THEIR FRIENDS IN THE CORPORATE WORLD. START THE IMPEACHMENT PROCESS, SEND A EMAIL TO YOUR SENATOR AND THE LOCAL MEDIA. ENOUGH EMAILS WILL START A CHAIN REACTION

Yeah who cares about the Iraqi people. 340 of them died? So what. Like 3 American soldiers died. We should pull out now and stop wasting American life so that tens of thousands of Iraqis can be killed by the exponential increase in violence that will occur when we leave. And so that every single life lost will be for nothing because we pulled out before completing the job.

So here is the BIG QUESTION.....What is the job? What is the plan? That's right...THERE ISN'T ONE! Sorry--my husband's safety and the safety of the 140+ thousand AMERICAN troops is way more important to me....If the Iraqi's wanted to do something to stop the violence, they would....they choose not to. BRING OUR TROOPS HOME!!!!!!!!!

"Stay the Surge!"

uh, I mean "Surge the Course!"

"Surge Accomplished?"

"Shock and Surge?"

"Last Surge?"

"Throes Accomplished?"

Where are those WMD's US forces were supposed to be eliminating?

The only reason US forces were sent to Iraq was to eliminate the threat Iraq posed to the US. And, that's the only authority they have to be in Iraq.

So, can anyone explain why US forces are playing policemen for the Iraqis at US taxpayer expense? Shouldn't Iraqis do their own police work?


And, shouldn't George Bush be impeached for lying to the American people about Saddam and WMD's?

The moral of the story? Buy more stock in defence contracting companies. It's a growth business with no end in site.

Don't sit around moralizing when there's money to be made. If you owned as much stock in the Carlyle group as our government officials do, you would be as anxious to prosecute wars as they are. War is all about profit.

"it looks as though the Pentagon is preparing for an expanded commitment %u2014 assuming that by summer there are solid signs that the extra effort is yielding significant results. "

OK, who out here wants to bet that there will be significant results by this summer?? Anyone??

Of course there will be. It won't matter if there really is or not. Rose colored glasses firmly in place, it will be announced that "I am embolded by the progress that is being made. We just need to add a few thousand more troops and another 100 billion dollars, and by golly folks, victory will be ours."

The end result will be more dead troops, more dead civilians, more spent money, more destruction. Iraq is like an always hungry monster that chews up men and money over and over again.

THIS IS NEVER GOING TO END.

TIME TO BRING TROOPS HOME, NOT SEND MORE!!!!!!

Once again....what the American people were told is not what is happening! Shocker!

[musty2u]

$6.6 Billion extra? Sure sounds like bargain basement budgeting. Pump it up another 12% for unplanned costs and we will still be at, or near, $7B. Okay, so maybe a few extra support personnel will be needed. Cachinnggg. Don't forget my body bags are gonna cost more too.

Time to call in the boys - the game is over -

nobody wanted this - nobody supports this - nobody needs this - and everybody now knows we were tricked into this Bush War -

Look at what Bush has lied us into becoming - an imperialist occupying power - that ain't American!

[dallison7]

QUAGMIRE ACCOMPLISHED!!!

IMPEACH BUSH/CHENEY

Trying to control a city of millions without having the countries borders controled is just stupid.... Its just like fighting a war on drugs in america and people can just walk across the borders with kilos....
