Comments on: 9 U.S. Troops Killed In New Iraq Offensive

Military Says 6 Soldiers Killed In Booby-Trapped House In Diyala; 3 Others Die In Salahuddin

Those who oppose the war lay the blame at the presidents feet, like he was the only one involved. What a pity for these blind fools. Short memories always benefit the uninformed, to justify their tunneled visioned views. We knew this would take time and it will continue to take time. I wonder what will be their spin when all is achieved.

No weapons of mass destruction, no democracy, the surge is working, all Iraquis are back home, have water and electricity, we have all the oil Bush wants and our troops are coming home---yep pretty much achieved I''d say------NOT!!!

FeelFree1 you numbers are made up like all your lies. You have no facts, just the propaganda your Iranian handlers give you.

There is no war in Iraq. Everything you read about, and see on TV is a fabrication by the Iranians trying to start a war with the most benevolent nation on earth. Americans are a people of peace.

Re: "Any compassion for those that lost their lives?"

Do you feel badly for the 1 million+ dead Iraqis, or the millions more that have been maimed, imprisoned, raped tortured, displaced, soddomized, and/or impoverished, as a result of this fraud-based and criminal war of aggression, waged by our Resident?

[micma-2009]

2007 was the deadliest year so far for American troops. Looks like Bush is trying to best himself in 2008. Stay the curse!

WARNING TO ALL, POOPUS DOES HAVE LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE AT THE PENTAGON AND CAN BLACKLIST YOU AT A MOMENTS NOTICE.YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WARNED.

[rohink-2009]

Any compassion for those that lost their lives? They were someone that had family, loved ones and friends that will mourn them. Or are you just too busy with your agenda.

poopus,singinrick and baghdadshere have shown they are part of the radical fringe. Most Americans want to end the occupation now and are liberal in their thinking. When the right wingnuts are proven to be wrong headed they start advocating violence.

The failed policy of the scared imperialistic neocons must be ended ASAP hopefully through impeachment. Those who don''t stand with the majority are the ones who should leave if they don''t like it. We progressives want to stay to make things better.

%u201CWhy we stand for immediate withdrawal of all US troops from Iraq%u201D

%u201CTHE U.S. occupation of Iraq has not liberated the Iraqi people, but has made life worse for most Iraqis.%u201D

%u201CTens of thousands of U.S. service people have been killed or maimed, and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis have lost their lives as a result of the U.S. invasion in 2003, the ongoing occupation, and the violence unleashed by them.%u201D

%u201CIraq''s infrastructure has been destroyed, and U.S. plans for reconstruction abandoned. There is less electricity, less clean drinking water, and more unemployment today than before the U.S. invasion.%u201D

%u201CAll of the justifications initially provided by the U.S. for waging war on Iraq have been exposed as lies; the real reasons for the invasion %u2014 to control Iraq''s oil reserves and to increase U.S. strategic influence in the region %u2014 now stand revealed.%u201D

%u201CThe Bush administration has insisted again and again that stability, democracy, and prosperity are around the next bend in the road%u2026But the U.S. has deliberately stoked sectarian divisions in its ongoing attempt to install a U.S.-friendly regime, thus driving Iraq towards civil war.%u201D

%u201CWe call on the U.S. to get out of Iraq %u2014 not in six months, not in a year, but now.%u201D

From the last known journalist at CBS:

"Why our troops must leave Iraq"

By Walter Cronkite and David Krieger

The American people no longer support the war in Iraq. The war is being carried on by a stubborn president who, like Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon during the Vietnam War, does not want to lose. But from the beginning this has been an ill-considered and poorly prosecuted war that, like the Vietnam War, has diminished respect for America. We believe Mr. Bush would like to drag the war on long enough to hand it off to another president.

The war in Iraq reminds us of the tragedy of the Vietnam War. Both wars began with false assertions by the president to the American people and the Congress. Like Vietnam, the Iraq War has introduced a new vocabulary: "shock and awe," "mission accomplished," "the surge." Like Vietnam, we have destroyed cities in order to save them. It is not a strategy for success.

The Bush administration has attempted to forestall ending the war by putting in more troops, but more troops will not solve the problem. We have lost the hearts and minds of most of the Iraqi people, and victory no longer seems to be even a remote possibility. It is time to end our occupation of Iraq, and bring our troops home.

When Kuchnich said baby Bush was mentally ill, he hit the nail on the head. While the politicians are running their campaigns and otherwise occupied, little George continues to play war at every one else''s expense. Sickening!

[baghdadshere]

singinrick,,,,Funny to think FellFree1 is a male gay posting from Ukraine. But the truth is that he/she/both could be an arabic posting from Gaza strip, or even an al-qaeda member posting from the remote border of Pakistan/Afghanistan in an al-qaeda compound, or even a Russian vodka dependent who hates America, or even a comunist posting from Cuba. In any case his a SOB who somehow learned the English language and now stays all day posting his/hers/its lies.

[noloyalisti]

Poor dumb kids. Still fooled by the scared bushco chickenhawk neocons. They could have gone to college.

We need to impeach ASAP.

[superdem]

I''m amazed this is being reported. The Republican owned media has been squelching such reports for months. I guess 9 dead is too hard to hide. McCain wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years, too. Get a nice big wall ready for all the names.

[antoniof123]

It begins again did I read that they had 138 dead and that is supposed to be good. I think if we extrapolate the Republicans have now killed more than the former dictator Saddam did in all his years.

Re: "Nine American soldiers were killed in the first two days of a new American drive to kill al Qaeda in Iraq fighters..."

9 more dead soldiers in an illegal and self-defeating war of aggression; dead from chasing the imaginary MADE-in-USA psy-ops hoax, known as "al-Qaeda-in-Iraq".

Didn''t the Butcher of Crawford tell us that this ficticious group was defeated, again?
