- "New Meaning To Shock And Awe"
In my view the New Meaning To Shock And Awe is when Americans see the final "price tag" and "Bill" for the Iraq invasion which will be over a trillion dollars, an unexpected "Bill" in the context that Pres. G.W. Bush said Iraqi Oil would pay for the War when in fact Iraqi Oil hasn''t even paid for the 3,991 U.S. Coffins! - Reply to this comment
- The US tried the very same strategy - a HUGE "troop surge" - during the Vietnam conflict too, and things did look a bit better for as long as it lasted (which, as it turned out for many unfortunate US soldiers, was far too long) but when that "surge" eventually ended, South Vietnam was rapidly overrun by the forces of North Vietnam and quickly surrendered.
The same thing will happen following this current troop surge in Iraq. We obviously can''t maintain it forever (at least not without a new Draft) and when it ends the tide will quickly turn again.
Today Vietnam is doing just fine without US forces stationed there, and they are even quite friendly towards us now. One can only hope that this disaster in Iraq ends as soon as possible, and that the Iraqi''s will eventually forgive us our hubris, just as the Vietnamese have.
We all know now, just as the Iraqi''s do, that we should never have gone in there to begin with.
The longer we stay and delay, the longer that healing process will take, if it''s even still possible at all, at this point. - Reply to this comment
- So when Cheney refers to his "friends" that we will not abandon he is referring to his oil company CEOs and big shots not the Iraqi people. This man could care less about democracy anywhere, less about people, and less about friends. He is an opportunist, a quasi-fascist, and a sad angry human.

- Everybody interested in stating your disapproval of a continuing Iraqi destruction, signify by keeping a blue light in your window every night until this is ended. - Name it a blue light to express peace from ordinary Americans to the ordinary people of the Middle East. - No political or military leaders need apply. - Perhaps we can make a statement of our own, peacefully, and without anger or bloodshed. - I bet all the blue bulbs will vanish from the store shelves very soon. - Ladies, get it on. - Gentlemen, arm your light fixtures. - A blue light of peace.

- Spectrum108 - Dear Spec, - You misunderstand Americans. - I know we appear to be slow witted, but that is a feature of our sheer numbers. - Because there are so many voices, it takes a while for all of us to be heard. - An extremely large hand does take longer to respond than an extremely small one. - We ALL have a voice in what happens. - And we have not yet ALL spoken. - Have a nice day.

- Dear Allen Pizzey,
Thank you very much for your efforts in getting the truth out to the rest of us. - Your work is appreciated and honored. -
It seems such a shame that the military effort has degraded from trying to help a people to an opportunity to test our newest military toys on someone else''s soil. - What started as a noble effort had become little more than turning Iraq into a vast waste-lot, and small burning holes in the ground. - The people we were helping are either leaving in droves, or they are starving by the side of a bombed out road. - With their infra-structure destroyed, and with little hope of anything being fixed anytime soon, what are these people to do? - Do we intend to keep doing this until there''s nothing left there but us and a few ragged teenagers in black throwing rocks at us? - Where is the "help" for the Iraqi people we promised? - We DID promise. - Looks like that promise has been broken. - Reply to this comment

- Bush Says Iraq War Was Worth It
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush says he has no doubts about launching the unpopular war in Iraq despite the "high cost in lives and treasure,"...How many family members and friends did he lose? It must have been a huge sacrifice for him as well. What this war in Iraq REALLY cost him was far more than a stained blue dress, it cost him any credibility along with all his "STAFF members" who love to smoke and stroke his presidential staff, in terms of any thing remotely human or animal. This war cost WE, the PEOPLE, the lives of our families, friends, any and all loved ones that will NEVER be coming home, it cost WE, the PEOPLE, our Constitution, Bill of Rights, Articles of Confederation, any and all credibility as an honest and decent nation to be proud of. Is it worth it to watch ANOTHER Republican be groomed and trained to carry on the bush torch of destruction? The democratic party is a longtime stand up joke and fall guy, being a serious leader means being able to lead a nation, not a corporation, into greatness. Remember that when you vote. - Reply to this comment
