The only reasons the violence slowed a bit post-"surge" was that Muqtada al-Sadr told his militia forces to stand down and the U.S. paid off Sunni insurgents not to attack U.S. troops. Now that the battles are being resumed, the violence spikes will continue to rise.

It will be interesting to hear what Adm. Mike Mullen has to say.

"Fallon told Petraeus that he considered him to be "an ***-kissing little chickenshit" and added, "I hate people like that"

That is pretty spot on if you ask me.

Sounds like Fallon might be a little brighter than the rest. We''ll see.

This is really shameful.

Many of the very same Democrats that helped to make all of this possible for King George, Killary for example, are now jumping in and blaming the people of Iraq for *** up a perfectly good war, while also blaming them for the poor performance of the installed stooge "officials".

Disgusting.

On top of that, they are now asking "Well, why should we pay for it?"

Answer: Because your shameful incompetence has cost some 1 million Iraqi lives, destroyed their infrastructure, displaced 4+ million, and maimed, tortured, imprisoned, soddomized, and/or raped who knows how many.

Hence, you owe them a sincere apology, and a staggering reparations bill that we will also have to borrow from China.

Why some people view the Democrats as something to be hopeful about eludes me.

They are less than worthless.

NO! NO! NO!

Don''t the Democrats understand...

...that Iraqi oil money (and war) was SPECIFICALLY for the long term wealthy retirement of Bush, Cheney, and their cohorts.

And to think the Democrats wanted the Iraqi oil money to be used for something meaningful... HAH! It is to laugh! (sarcasm)

We should send them a bill for the cost of destroying their country.
