Anyone with half a brain knew that Saddam was the perfect counterbalance to the Iranian mullahs!

But our Liar-in-Chief knew better.

Blinded by oil and arrogance and revenge, he took us to a needless war!

After 4000 Dead Americans, and 3 trillion dollars, he delivered Iraq into the hands of the Iranian mullahs!

Al Sadr is just their man in Iraq!

Talk about high treason!

IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY!

I believe that we are playing into the terrorists hands by bankrupting this country. They can hurt us more by removing the American way of life through economic means than militarily.

My response:
Bush and the GOP has been a posterchild for terrorism and playing into their hands from the beginning!
They''re not going to correct their mistakes and stop the hemorraging! Heck, most of them won''t even admit to having made any mistakes! Each move they make, gets them deeper and deeper into trouble! All we can hope for, is that in nine months SOMEONE---Congress or a new administration---takes responsible actions!

Notice that Al Sadr took his commands directly from IRAN!

The Bush accomplishment in Iraq:

Take out an effective independent secular tyrant.

Replace him with an islamist tyrant from Iran!

And at what cost to us!

4000 DEAD TROOPS

3 TRILLION IN DEBT!

And the Iranian mullahs are the only ones, (besides ******** Cheney and Halliburton) who''re chuckling!

With enemies like Bush, who needs friends!

--"I do not see the Iraqi government surviving if it does not forcibly stamp out armed resistance."--
Posted by mjlewis6

? Who exactly do you define as ''armed resistance''? Aren''t you presupposing that the majority actually want a cooperative democracy when the reality is that the country has always had an in-group and an out-group divided on sectarian lines?

--"The government of al-Maliki, himself a Shiite, welcomed the move by al-Sadr to call off his fighters. After nearly a week of battling the militia, the Iraqi army had made little headway in Basra and large swaths of the city remain under the Mahdi Army''s control."--

This reconciliation happened WAY too fast . . . so they have this gargantuan war which finished as quickly as it started amongst fellow Shiites and the result is that:

- it forced our troops to disperse out of Baghdad to other parts of the country
- it made a mockery of McSurge
- Iran ends up looking like a peace-broker
- the Iraqi ''government'' releases Shiite militia members
- the Iraqi ''government'' already poised to lose power through the next set of elections intended to empower Sunnis is made to look impotent

Hmmm . . . ''incompetence'' on the part of Al-Maliki and the Iraqi government or is McBush getting played for fools?

Al Sadr is the true President of Iraq... Think about it.. he has no official political seat but he can wage and stop a war at his on will.

We have the govt we established..and its obvious ... the Iraqqis have their own governing force that they recognize. Maybe we need to find out how to get a hold to Al Sadr and get him to work in our favor. Dont know much about him but that guy has pull.

The green zone is not that important. It is the oil in Basra. al-Sadr must have cut a deal to get his piece of the oil pie. The American taxpayers will just pay to rebuild the green zone and someone will make a few more million.

The Coalition should attack Al Mazri and his Fighters now. Al Qada spends too much time cringing and whining for reinforcements. Osama cannot help them.

What coalition? Blackwater and the 20,000 foreign mercenaries in our military? Ha!Ha!Ha!

Pronto9, excellent point. Americans are astounding ignorant of other cultures. The "greeted as liberators" thing shows this can be extremely devestating to the world...this ignorance.

Thank you! Very well said! Ignorance matched only by arrogance!

If the so-called Green Zone can''t be free from attacks, it means ''The Surge'' IS A FARCE! Another lie from the most corrupt administration this country has ever witnessed. The day DOOFUS leaves office should be declared a national holiday! Only 295 days left! Enjoy!

Yep, the surge is working just fine. Record profits are being made at the taxpayers expense. The oil is flowing. Things couldn''t be better in Iraq. LOL
