How awful. If it''s not one thing it''s another. May God bring peace to those family members who lost their loved ones from the helicopter crash. I have a brother-in-law over in Iraq. I hope and pray he is safe and sound.

I am sitting here reading all your comments, and I am awaiting word on the fate of my son that was possibly on that helicopter. To state that the soldiers have died in vain, ask their parents what they think. My son is within 6 weeks of coming home and I pray to God to see him walk off that plane. If it is God''s will that he does not make it, I will NEVER say that HE died in Vain.

Unfortunately for us, that''s pocket change to the Bush and Cheney crime conspiracy. I mean it''s not like it''s their money. They''re not concerned with how they spend our money, just with how much they can skim off in kickbacks, bribes and outright theft.

The Taliban were not a treat to anybody, much less to us.We just didn''''t like them.

They were though, big friends of the Bush family and the Bush administration. The Taliban sent representatives to Washington D.C. in March of 2001 where they were treated as close allies, including a tour of the State Dept and lunch with Cheney at the White House, before departing for Texas to discuss the Trans-Afghan pipeline with energy companies there. They were Bush and Cheney''s good buddies until 9-11, when Bush and Cheney saw a perfect chance to cut them out of their slice of the pie for the pipeline.

Whenever we fight for a cause, we look at the reward, not at our sufferings or the price we may pay. In case of Iraq, we are paying for free life time oil for us! yes, imagine you are running your Ferrari or porche at 300 miles an hour throughtout the day, using petrol as water. Wow it will be wonderful.

Al-Maliki, who has faced accusations of having a Shiite bias that has alienated minority Sunnis, lashed out at the U.S. criticism on Wednesday, saying no one has a right to put timetables on his elected government.

He blamed the U.S. presidential campaign for the recent tough words from the Bush administration and from other American politicians.

-With all my respects to the huge efforts that are being done by our men and women in Iraq, we are heading to a flagrant failure. See our greed lead us into this situation. Reforming a political system under Saddam, while he had menaces over his head. I mean, Saddam would have been an extraordinary tool for our political aim of changing the course of political system in Iraq. Look at what we did with Gaddafi. We hit him hard and we told him to do things unimportant for him. We kinda negotiated with a sword over his head. Look at the results. Libya is a repenting and rehabilitated country now.

Saddam would have been as good tool as Gaddafi, for establishing a democracy-like political system. Violence is as bad as it can get. Never too good. Our uninformed (misinformed) GOP polititcians are so stupid that they ran us into this quagmire that will be remembered as their failure for the next two generations.
