- pythoncharly or Chuck the Snake, I''ll choose the later for you. I usually skip your posts as I''ve already labeled you a blustering weirdo. Please visit the terrorists in the Middle East and scream "waterboard me" as they chop off your head.

Barack Obama stated that the "surge" was working. Better update your tactics to fit the new President elect. - Reply to this comment
- Earache, since we both agreed that Saddam should be ousted during the 1st Gulf war, you already know that WMD have no relevance for me or Bush''s part in it. Your argument has everything to do with Bush and nothing to do with WMD. I considered Saddam the WMD from the beginning and throughout Clinton''s administration, you changed your mind based on Bush Derangement Syndrome.
HEAR THAT EVERYONE, EARACHE WANTED SADDAM OUSTED WHILE HE WAS IN SERVICE DURING THE 1ST GULF WAR. Shove that up your a$$, I''m pissed you changed my comment earlier to suit your illogical need to bash Bush.
Let me repeat my first statement, Iraqis are killing each other! They are no longer under a dictator and have a brand new government and yet they still want to blow each other up. This is Iraq''s issue, not ours, as we are not doing the killing. - Reply to this comment

Wow, you''re going low earache! I never typed "...and allow Iraqi factions to get back to killing eachother....". That is a phrase you added, pretty sad on your part. What can I expect from someone who says it was ok to oust Saddam in the 1st Gulf War and turn around and say it''s not ok anymore because of Bush hate. You''re pathetic for changing my comment and putting my name after it, grow up.- Reply to this comment
- 2008 was the year of the female suicide bomber. In 2007 there were only 8 such attacks. In 2008 there were 34 causing 295 deaths and 731 wounded. The tactic is actually a size of desperation by the Islamists. They simply don%u2019t have enough foreigners to carry out these suicide attacks anymore so they have turned to women. Their favorite target has been pilgrims just like today%u2019s attack. There are supposedly 3 clerics who are recruiting women to carry out these attacks. Rather than being based upon religious fanaticism however, the women tend to join out of revenge because they have had a family member killed or arrested by U.S. or Iraqi security forces.

- This incident proves how shallow are the claims of Arab or Muslim solidarity in the face of current violence in the Gaza strip.The Isreali-Palestinian fighting has not stopped Sunnis killing Shiites.This reveals something about the region for those that seek a "lasting solution " to the Palestinian issue.

- Earache-we cleared the way for a Democratic government and are pulling our troops away. The Iraqis are killing each other, let me repeat for you to understand, THE IRAQIS ARE KILLING EACH OTHER. This scenario didn''t happen under Saddam because he was the "killer" in charge over the other factions. Now they are blowing each other up and it has nothing to do with the U.S., when we leave they will still be killing each other. If Saddam had died naturally, the clashing forces for power would still be killing each other. Stop blaming the U.S. for brainwashed suicide bombers, if it was about the U.S. anymore they would be bombing our men and women which is not the case anymore and hasn''t been for quite awhile. Our mission was to oust an evil dictator and help set up a democratic government, NOT PLAY SHRINK FOR THOSE BENT ON MARTYRDOM.
