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

Roadside Bombings Claim Two GIs On Saturday, Four On Sunday

What AMAZES me is that people voted for Bush because they thought he was strong on foreign policy. This from a man that didn't have a passport before the first presidential election.

The dubious Bush regime Butchers bring misery and death wherever they go.

How's it going in Iraq?

Here is a good description from a courageous Iraqi woman, who posts under the screen-nick "Riverbend":

"Let me clear it up for any moron with lingering doubts: It%u2019s worse. It%u2019s over. You lost. You lost the day your tanks rolled into Baghdad to the cheers of your imported, American-trained monkeys. You lost every single family whose home your soldiers violated. You lost every sane, red-blooded Iraqi when the Abu Ghraib pictures came out and verified your atrocities behind prison walls as well as the ones we see in our streets. You lost when you brought murderers, looters, gangsters and militia heads to power and hailed them as Iraq%u2019s first democratic government. You lost when a gruesome execution was dubbed your biggest accomplishment. You lost the respect and reputation you once had. You lost more than 3000 troops. That is what you lost America. I hope the oil, at least, made it worthwhile."

The Iraq debacle will go down as the greatest military, moral, legal, and ecomomic defeat in U.S. history, unless the illegitimate dope manages to lose to Iran as well.

Get out! Get out! Get the f**k out of Iraq! And let's concentrate on bringing our domestic enemies of the Bush regime, along with their collaborators, to account for their heinous deeds.

What a stark contrast that makes.

Bush the Elder liberating Panama from Noriega. A true Mission Accomplished, well planned in advance, over in about one month, with minimal US casualties and a strong local government in control in Panama afterwards. Bush the Elder soared in popularity afterwards.

Bush the Younger toppling Saddam in Iraq - more like a reckless schoolkid knocking over a hornets' nest. Going into the fifth year of chaos, bloodshed and anarchy. If Bush the Younger falls any further in the polls, he'll be down there with Benedict Arnold.

"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 this is true the logical next step militarily wou0ld be to not let up and keep the terrorists on the run. Follow them int o tehse new areas and chase tehm out. 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.

Examples of similar tactics being succesful:
Chile--jungle terrorists
Afghanistan--Taliban
Soviet Russia--Siberiean insurgents
American SouthWest--(Apache wars)

A moderately stable Iraq coulds mean we could go home

Six more dead troops and six more devastated families sacrificed at the alter of "Bush's legacy", be proud Bush supporters, be proud.

"As far as left wing media outlets like CBS I guess only a war with zero casualities would mean progress?" Posted by didntinhale

Only a justifiable war can make justifiable progress.

The media and the Democrats got behind Bush the Elder when he took Noriega down in Panama. Hell, John Kerry was the elder Bush's chief cheerleader for that one. And there were American casualties in that one.

They did it because they knew that Manuel Noriega's downfall was in America's interest.

Iraq at this point is not, if it ever was.

"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.

no kidding. the idea that this war has anything in common with ww2 is ridiculous. i don't think you want to dig into that analogy too closely; we've got more in common with the occupying germans right now that we do with the allied forces. however, nice try conflating a just, unavoidable war with the debacle in iraq.

[whatithink-2009]

I hold all of you who voted for Bush in the last election responsible. May God have mercy on your BAD DECISION.

[iceman_1960]

"We are losing an average of 3 soldiers a day in Iraq. As much as the loss of even one American life to those cutthroats makes me want to vomit if we turn the clock back to ww2 the daily average was 278." - didntinhale

Your analogy s*ucks for many reasons.

That was a justified war. This one is foolish and stupid.

WW2 was fought all across the globe. And 278 a day were NOT killed in a specific theatre of war over 4-5 years: that did NOT happen in WW2.

Otherwise America would have lost 300,000 men at Guadalcanal alone.

Are you sure you didn't inhale ?

Do not read this story! It provides facts that are damaging to the Bush/McCain Reality Express.

Ignore the facts, things are really getting better in Iraq! Close your eyes, plug your ears, and let's all chant; Things are getting better, we are winning, the insurgency is in its last throes.

Although if you are still plagued by the facts, try taking some really powerful drugs and focus really hard on believing Bush and McCain. Come on people you are not trying very hard! Support the President, Support the Troops, Support endless wars for no reason. Be a good American! Hail Bush! With faith and a few little pills we can all overcome reality! Come on let's all chant together!
