"BAGHDAD (AP) - With just under two months left in the year, 2007 is on course to be the deadliest year on record for American forces in Iraq, despite a recent sharp drop in U.S. deaths."
"At least 847 American military personnel have died in Iraq so far this year - the second-highest annual toll since the war began in March 2003, according to Associated Press figures."- Reply to this comment
- How%u2019s it going in Iraq?
%u201CAnd yet, as the situation continues to deteriorate both for Iraqis inside and outside of Iraq, and for Americans inside Iraq, Americans in America are still debating on the state of the war and occupation- are they winning or losing? Is it better or worse.%u201D
%u201CLet me clear it up for any moron with lingering doubts: It%u2019s worse. It%u2019s over. You lost. You lost the day your tanks rolled into Baghdad to the cheers of your imported, American-trained monkeys. You lost every single family whose home your soldiers violated. You lost every sane, red-blooded Iraqi when the Abu Ghraib pictures came out and verified your atrocities behind prison walls as well as the ones we see in our streets. You lost when you brought murderers, looters, gangsters and militia heads to power and hailed them as Iraq%u2019s first democratic government. You lost when a gruesome execution was dubbed your biggest accomplishment. You lost the respect and reputation you once had. You lost more than 3000 troops. That is what you lost America. I hope the oil, at least, made it worthwhile.%u201D

How%u2019s it going in Iraq?
"It''s not individual atrocity," Specialist Garett Reppenhagen, a sniper from the 263rd Armour Battalion, said. "It''s the fact that the entire war is an atrocity."
"I''ll tell you the point where I really turned... [there was] this little, you know, pudgy little two-year-old child with the cute little pudgy legs and she has a bullet through her leg... An IED [improvised explosive device] went off, the gun-happy soldiers just started shooting anywhere and the baby got hit. And this baby looked at me... like asking me why. You know, ''Why do I have a bullet in my leg?''... I was just like, ''This is, this is it. This is ridiculous''."- Specialist Michael Harmon, 24, of Brooklyn, 167th Armour Regiment, 4th Infantry Division.%u201D

Why he is the greatest president in history
He had from the beginning to fight the worst enemy of all: The enemy who doesnt care for his life. Thats what suicide al-qaeda fighters are.And Bush has done well. His brilliant war strategy led al-qaeda to Iraq where it could be defeated instead of fighting it at home. He also kept Osama Bin Laden alive so he could witness that piece of desert he calls %u201Choly land%u201D occupied by the %u201Cinfidels%u201D christians he hates so much. - Reply to this comment

- "He offered a body count as a measure of success. American troops, he claimed, had killed or captured an average of more than 1,500 "enemy fighters" per month since January."
While we''re on the subject of body count.
The score so far:
Bin Laden - 3000
Bush - 4000
BUSH WINS HANDS DOWN! - Reply to this comment
- Bush says things are getting better - surely it must be true.

- Now they''re "taking the country back."
It used to be "mission accomplished," then it was "turning the corner."
Looks like the writers ain''t on strike in the white house!
