So finally after all this years in Iraq we have the support of both sides, the Sunnis and the Shiites, to fight against what in the first place was never there: Al Qaeda.
Unfortunately, during all this time the AQ people were able to learn a lot about killing US soldiers and probably recruited thousands.
Bush and his ilk have had their wish come true, fighting terrorism in Iraq.
What''s ironic is that the only ones who''ll be able to get rid of AQ in Iraq are the Sunnis and the Shiites if they ever come to a political agreement to share power.
In other words, all this work by the US, all this suffering, all these deahts were absolutely unnecessary because before Bush and ilk decided to invade Iraq the Sunnis and the Shiites were sharing power and there was no AQ in Iraq!
Why are American soldiers still dying over there? Why?

Nine dead in the first 2 days? "Obviously this demonstrates what a highly successful...(ahem)...stay the course...terrorists in their last throes...tree of freedom must be fed with the blood of patriots."

Well, I see the U.S. is sending 3,000 more World Police Officers to Afghanistan.

there is no war just a joke of an occupation;

osama bin laden scored a lucky hit on the world trade towers, he never had a thought in his head about them collapsing,

the tragedy here is that a criminal administration has gotten to manipulate the american people into borrrowing 9 TRILLION DOLLARS out of a self created fear of another attack as phony as this war.
