- From the above article, "All of us are happy - Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds on this day," Waleed al-Bahadili said as he celebrated at the park. "The Americans harmed and insulted us too much."

And there you have it folks, the common Iraqi citizen has spoken. It didn't really matter to them that we toppled Sadman and got rid of their dictator for them. They were just waiting to do it themselves, probably AFTER Sadman, Oddie and the other sociopath kids of Sadman died. - Reply to this comment
- Stab them in the back? We've done enough. It's time to leave! I'm tired of Americans dying over there. I'm tired of wasting our money on them.
It is up the Iraqi people to shape that country. If some dictator takes over, then so be it. If the Iraqi people allow that, then they are gutless cowards. We cannot support two countries forever. - Reply to this comment
- The bottom line is....The war was won, American soldiers are pulling out, and the Democrats lost in their effort to undermine the war like a Fifth Column....period
Since Liberals love vicious terrorist dictators, they will always say Iraq was "better off" with the brutal dicatator....obviously, a friendly elected government is better for the Iraqi's and America, but in their desire to bash Bush, to the point of sickness, they will always claim we are not better off. - Reply to this comment
- Hungry, explain in detail how the Iraqis, the greater middle east, and the world would be better off with Sadam still in power. It's that simple.

Where to start.....
Sadam started wars (NOT the United States responsibility.)
committed genocide (NOT the United States responsibility.)
robbed billions intended for his own people from UN oil for food programs (NOT the United States responsibility.)
fired on U.S planes daily (until he stopped in 1998)
both sides of the isle voted to take out Sadam (Bush TOLD the CIA to MAKE the evidence against Saddam Hussein, and THAT is what the congress and senate voted on - fabricated intelligence.)
both sides of the isle continue to fund the war (are they supposed to leave troops in a war zone without food, water, weapons, or ammo?!?!?!)
this new progress was made possible by the surge (the surge didn't work - the "reconciliation councils" and $300 / month payments to the insurgents stopped the violence.)
Iraq is now offering oil bid contracts for the first time in 30 years (which is why Bush fabricated the war in the first place)
We now have an ally in the heart of the middle east where an enemy was previously (including all those that are dancing in the streets, and celebrating our leaving? That's some ally....)
Iran did not win (We're leaving, and they're still there with an ally Shiite government right next door, and a friend in Nouri Al Maliki. Sounds like they won to me.)
the insurgents did not win (We're leaving, and they're still there, which is what they wanted all along.)
Al qaeda did not win (Al Qaeda had nothing to do with Iraq.)
America won (What did we "win"?)
the Iraqis won (What did they "win"?) - Reply to this comment
- the leftwing trolls that spew the same tired false allegations ignore some basic facts. Sadam started wars, committed genocide, robbed billions intended for his own people from UN oil for food programs, fired on U.S planes daily, both sides of the isle voted to take out Sadam, both sides of the isle continue to fund the war, this new progress was made possible by the surge despite the dems and the lose at all cost politics of the left, Iraq is now offering oil bid contracts for the first time in 30 years. We now have an ally in the heart of the middle east where an enemy was previously, Iran did not win, the insurgents did not win, Al qaeda did not win, America won, the Iraqis won, feedom won, this is what history will. The leftwing critisizing trolls and their iudeology of defeat out of politics LOST, isn't that correct skyk?

hungry1968-15 - We'll see how fast they beg for our troops to come back in. You're so naive. You think all will be well now. Wake up man.
I don't think "all will be well" in Iraq, and I'm fully expecting a civil war to break out. (We'll just add that on to the Bush legacy.)
But to be honest, I really don't give a dammn what happens in Iraq. As long as our troops aren't getting hurt / killed, and it isn't adding on to the cost of US taxpayer dollars, I could care less.
That's called "self determination" and "sovereignty". Two tenets of civilized society that Bush, Cheney, and other assorted clownservatives have never understood OR respected. - Reply to this comment
- What a propaganda rout, and all of you liberals are acting like Obama really done something. I just want to as know many American troops came home? According to my sources - - none.
There are still over 100,000 American troops in Iraq, and several large American bases are being built just outside of cities, at a cost of billions of dollars to American taxpayers.
The American government has no intention of leaving Iraq. There is to much oil, and to much money to be made by the world bankers, and the corporations that control America for them to just leave it behind. While the American troops may be less visible, they will be there holding the Iraqis hostage in their own land, just like the have done for the past five plus years.
Obama has done nothing great to deserve any great acclaim, or pat on the back. This smoke screen, had been put in place before Obama ever took office, and he is just following the course that was already laid out.
Obama is no more than a puppet of the rich bankers and Wall Street who put him in office. - Reply to this comment
- Obama's in office 5 months, and boosh couldn't do it in 100 years.
Nutjobs, why are they allowed to vote? - Reply to this comment
