Comments on: Six More U.S. Soldiers Killed In Iraq

Roadside Bombings Claim Two GIs On Saturday, Four On Sunday

[omega39-2009]

The neo-cons%u2019 101-page confidential document, which came to me in a brown envelope in February 2003, just before the tanks rolled, goes boldly where no U.S. invasion plan had gone before: the complete rewrite of the conquered state%u2019s %u201Cpolicies, law and regulations.%u201D A cap on the income taxes of Iraq%u2019s wealthiest was included as a matter of course. And this was undoubtedly history%u2019s first military assault plan appended to a program for toughening the target nation%u2019s copyright laws. Once the 82nd Airborne liberated Iraq, never again would the Ba%u2019athist dictatorship threaten America with bootleg dubs of Britney Spears%u2019 %u201C%u2026Baby One More Time.%u201D

It was more like a corporate takeover, except with Abrams tanks instead of junk bonds. It didn%u2019t strike me as the work of a Kosher Cabal for an Imperial Israel. In fact, it smelled of pork %u2014 Pig Heaven for corporate America looking for a slice of Iraq, and I suspected its porcine source. I gave it a big sniff and, sure enough, I smelled Grover Norquist.

Mc Cain says the liberal media is ignoring the fact that things are really good in Iraq. I'd like to see him and his family go on a sightseeing tour to Iraq to prove to us that the liberal media is making up this whole thing about Iraq being a mess.

Put a thousand troops and thier tanks and guns on a street and see things get quiet? That's not progress, that's a staged scene like Bush standing on an aircraft carrier deck in a flight suit.

In Iraq or Los Angeles ?

Little Rock, AR; Selma, AL; and Boston, MA are just a few places US forces escorted school kids.

There are lots of similarities between the people who were trying to kill them in the 50's, 60's, and 70's in the US and those trying to kill them today in Iraq.

Both groups are (were) led by religious fundamentalists who want to sacrifice children to please their imaginary Gods.

BTW, US forces don't have the manpower or equipment to maintain order in Los Angeles.

HOW IS THIS SUPPORTING THE TROOPS? KEEPING THEM OVER IN IRAQ ON A LIE FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHER COUNTRIES LIKE ISRAEL AND SAUDI ARABIA!

Iraqi kids going back to school, now that is good news. I really truly feel sorry for the long term war scars on those Iraqi kids. But instead of feeling sorry for them and trying to help them the world is focused on that dumb bear Knut in the German Zoo! Talk about mixed up priorities!

I couldn't agree more.

The true mark of "success" will be when the President of the United States can travel to Iraq with advance warning and without an army as a bodyguard.

Until then, I will not believe the lies of Generals and Politicians.

As someone else has pointed out, when the crackdown in Baghdad was announced, the insurgents either went underground or moved out of the city into other areas.

More blood on Bush's hands and Cheney's money. More murders that they both have to answer for since they killed these troops, as well as the more then 3200+ before them just as surely as if they personally stood them against a wall and shot them one by one. Still the hard truth is that neither one cares anymore about the deaths of our troops then they'd care about stepping on a bug. To them this is war for profit and they're making money hand over fist via their friends in the war industry and big oil. the deaths of our troops is nothing more then a business expense that they're more then willing to bear, esp since it doesn't cost them a da*mn dime.

Damned liberal media is just trying to make George Bush look bad.

Of course, it is impossible to do otherwise, George Bush is the worst president in US history.

Bush doesnt care about this. He doesnt care about soldiers lives and their families- yet we allow him to serve and worst of all we re-elected him. How in the world can there still be anyone that supports him? I guess I live on Mars!!

Sen. John McCain insisted Sunday that a U.S.-Iraqi security crackdown was working.

6 more Americans dead! It's working where? Point out where it's working! Define working! Sick!

"Chile--jungle terrorists"

Now I owe emtak1 some pushups. There really was a war like that -- but it took Spain, and later, Chile, 300 years to overcome it.

A 300 year war is perhaps not the best example for Bush to follow in Iraq.

The "Arauco War"

Saddam may have been hung by the stooges of the Bush regime, but his plan to wage a geurilla war as a defense against the illegal U.S. invasion of his country, has clearly prevailed.

The Iraqis have every right to defend themselves against the invaders and collaborators in their country.

What's more, they have managed to significantly stall the corporate crusade of the Bush puppet-Fuhrer (heil), and we can all be thankful for that.

"If they are contained to more and more ural areas, our enemy may be contained to having a less and less significant role in Iraq." emtak1

Now you're talking. Drive the Iraqi insurgents into the Ural Mountains. Let Putin sort 'em out.

(It's so immature to jump all over typos, I know...)

[johnkuhn2]

"An Iraqi military spokesman said Sunday that militants fleeing a security crackdown in Baghdad have made areas outside the capital "breeding grounds for violence" after a week of deadly bombings and sectarian attacks."

I think Senator John McCain should make a personal visit there to see if that's true.

A nice unescorted walk through that area by McCain would demonstrate to the insurgents that they can't scare Americans.

With any luck he'll be greeted as a liberator.

This has been misreported in the media.

Actually, emtak1 posted those examples.
I posted to counter them.
