Comments on: 4,000 U.S. Troops Headed To Baghdad

Added Personnel Meant To Strengthen Crackdown; 47 People Killed Across Iraq

[mh4cbs1]

It is now CLEAR to anyone paying attention, that Cheney and Bush

DEILIBERATELY LIED us into Invading Iraq to start a needless, horrific WAR.

Folks this is a HIGH CRIME if there ever was one. Why will the spineless, complicit Democrats DO NOTHING!!

Tennet, who was complicit in the crime, offers just one more nail in the coffin. An impeachment hearing would bring a stream of witnesses and unrefutable evidence to force the impeachement of George Bush and D*ck Cheney.

Love America? Support the troops? Then JAIL these two murderous thugs!!

[citizenusa-2009]

It is incomprehensible to me that we Americans are not marching in the streets to protest this Unmitigated slaughter!! We have the most corrupt administration that has ever existed in the U.S. and (despite their lofty promises) the Democrats are POWERLESS to stop the MADMAN from sending more and more of our soldiers into a country where they are nothing more than moving targets! MY GOD! Clinton was nearly impeached for NOTHING while Bush and the smarmy V.P. are responsible for mass murder and what do they get? Airtime. Sickening!!!!

I think we must extend this number beyond 10,000 troops in order to finish the job earlier.

Let me see if I've got this right. If intelligence supports the Democrats it's reliable, but if it doesn't then it's "toilet paper "intelligence""

I believe that you are acting like one who says "Don't confuse me with facts. My mind is made up."

LOL, indeed!

AaaBee,
From the 2006 Senate Report of Pre-war Intelligence on Iraq:

"According to the DIA, detainee information and captured document exploitation indicate that the regime [of Saddam Hussein] was aware of Ansar al-Islam and al-Qa'ida presence in northeastern Iraq, but the groups' presence was considered a threat to the regime and the Iraqi government attempted intelligence collection operations against them."

Please check your "facts" before you make claims. I've never asked anyone to believe me because of my political views (whatever they may be), but because I've got sources. Don't just accept something because some Democrat said it's true. Do a little research. After all, it's better to say nothing and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

[kstrisha]

Don't blame the troops, PLEASE!!! They are being good soldiers and doing what they are told. It is THEIR job, just as GUIDING the troops is BUSH'S JOB...

[middleman8]

I guess its easier for these troops to go shoot and bomb helpless women and children than to stand up for their rights and say enough is enough,end this lieing war now.

Does anyone really think Saddam would tolerate an Al-Qaeda presence in Iraq for any reason? I believe when Saddam was able to locate an Al-Qaeda member in Iraq, they were dead.

Rememeber Saddam was a bad man. He did not tolerate any opposition.

Exactly! The Iraqis feared Saddam, but they don't think that Americans are worth spitting on...

Condi said she would be "polite..." if she runs into Iranians at the meeting.

How diplomatic!! It's a good thing she is our top diplomat!!!

Bush was a bit presumptuous in his victory speech four years ago, don't you think? 4,ooo today, 2,000 tomorrow, 10,000 by years end when the draft is enacted.... An army recruter just called my house and spoke with my child that is still in high school, who answered the phone.

Yes, that is right fellow Americans, the ARMY just call my home in an attempt to recruit one of my children who is STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL!!!

Welcome to the SURGE!!! The SURGE consists of teenagers encouraged by the BUSH ADMINISTRATION to DROP OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL to FIGHT IN IRAQ!!!

[bluestardad]

NOVEMBER 7, 2006 AMERICA VOTED TO GET OUT OF IRAQ! NOW OUR CONGRESS GIVES THESE IDIOTS MONEY TO INCREASE THE WAR FOR WHAT?

[aaabee-2009]

Al-Qaeda (through it's affilated group Ansar al-Isl) was in Iraq prior to the invasion, and even had some contact with the Iraqi government.

J whitman, you aren't getting it. If a Republican says something (forget the facts or logic or sense) then it is TRUE.

Republicans opening their mouths = Truth.

See? It will be easy. Just change your position and your mind and your philosophy and your humanitarianism and your political reasoning. Drop all that and join the Bush Cult, after giving all your money and possessions to the 1% of wealthy America.

"The influx of troops is an attempt to put a lid on the violence and to buy the Iraqi government more time. But the Iraqi parliament plans to take a two-month summer recess"

So we are sending in troops while Iraqi government takes a vacation.

I suppose the bombing and killing will stop for that two months.

Iraq just isn't on the same playing field as the US. They govern differently, have a completely different culture, different battle tactics, conflict resolution, everything.

How are we supposed to get them to "Stand Up" if stand up to them means something entirely different than what we mean?

This is like sharks trying to teach aardvarks how to catch squid. Makes NO sense at all.

Makes no end to war.......

[SamThornton]

Into the Valley of Death rode the 4,000. Godspeed. Keep heads and tails down. Come home safe and in one piece.

Wonder what would happen in Iraq and the rest of the world if we quit shooting people and blowing stuff up?

[inventagod2]

I just hate sending fresh targets into someone else's civil war...

"Al Quida was not in Iraq, untill we opened the door & through out thier government & military.... GOT THAT NOW ?????"

No, since it is not true. Al-Qaeda (through it's affilated group Ansar al-Isl) was in Iraq prior to the invasion, and even had some contact with the Iraqi government. It is true that there was no operational control, or even a cooperative relationship, but that does not mean that Al-Qaeda had no presense in Iraq.

bizzzz,,, I was on base 2 years ago with an "Impeach Bush" sticker on my truck -- They really liked that... Those guy's where saluting me, shaking my hand, grinning from ear to ear, telling thier stories & went out of the way to help.
