With Billions More Dollars, U.S. Military Struggles To 'Defeat' Iraq's IEDs

Hillary is too Cold,,,, Obama is too Hot ---- GOP''''s solution -- Giulini,,, a cross dresser

IED is just another word for mine. How can the US military be unprepared for land mines? The media should not let the Pentagon hide its incompetence by feigned surprise and the disingenuous use of "IED." What would happen if we were to fight a war against an industrial enemy that can produce these land mines in limitless numbers? And if Iran is supplying the mines, what do Bush and Cheney expect to face if we invade Iran?

White House continues the GOP''s decades long war against the CIA today,
,, White House Exectutive Summary released today accuses Tennent & CIA of failing to understand the threat of Al Queda.... LOL

You can''t hide your lyin eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you''d realize
There ain''t no way to hide your lyin'' eyes

In Ronald Reagan''s Letters he wrote about meeting George W. Bush --- "I''ve never met a 40 year old man that never had a job before"

xzavierbrown--Blaming the ''liberal media''... first of all its a statist media. CNN is even now trying to spin away its selection of generals to yap on air--from an approved Pentagon list. In the war against Yugoslavia,
CNN''s control center was full of psyops people to direct coverage. FOX is liberal media? The NEW YORK TIMES?--with Judith Miller the lying, in-bed ''journalist'' and others? Or the HISTORY CHANNEL, which just did a hit piece on Alex Jones. They gain some credibility by covering the ancient past and then use that credibility to smear and lie--Another good reason to do away with cable and turn off the TV.

The insurgents are getting better?--Its called a learning curve. They are not only getting better--thanks in great part for the talent that Viceroy Bremer provided any prospective insurgency by firing the Iraqi Army--he is probably reponsible for killing and wounding more Americans in this conflict than any of the insurgent leaders by that single act.

Not only are they getting better--they are getting more organized...their intelligence is getting better...Look at the Green Zone--General Odeirno probably has to go to Haifa Street just to get a moments peace.

Not only are the freedom fighters increasing their capabilities, they have infiltrated the military and the police and causing casualties among our men.

Remember the uniformed mass attacks on the Oil ministry that kidnapped several people? The infiltration of the US base that left several Americans dead? When even your Quislings are turning on you, you should know it is time to pack your bags. Iraqis want us out of Iraq. Period. End of Story.

Funny,,, The Petreaus report is being written by the White House,,, Will be delivered to Congress on 9/11 ---

"Oh no it has nothing to do with 9/11, we are observing Roshashana" says the White House....

The usual loser neocon whine--"they wouldn''t let us win"--it must be so discouraging to see the "world''s only superpower" get their a$$es kicked. But the Iraqis have used no weapon that is not 50 years old or more--shaped charges are old hat, TNT is old hat, booby traps are old hat--nothing to divulge there, xavier!

The bottom line is, you can''t bully an entire population into submission forever. Can''t do it!

Read "Salt of the Earth".

It is an indictment against the US Military capability and the self-proclaimed "greatest military power on earth." The crux of the matter is, the US cannot win a war, or any war for that matter, when it is perceived as an invader, which is what it is in Iraq. It is a given right for those who are occupied to fight the the occupier. As long as the US is fighting a conventional war, my money is on Uncle Sam to win. Otherwise, history tell us that the US will not and cannot win. Come to think of it, the whites have never won a single war against non-whites. Win some battles, yes! Winning the war in the long term, nah! So much for superiority. It is an illusion buttressed by western propaganda.
