- The GOP are grabbing at straws. Nothing fundamental has happened in Iraq with regards to political reconciliation and government stability. There is better security around Baghdad according to the claims, but why hasn''t the Iraqi gov''t made signifcant progress in this time of increased security? This surge is just another excuse to keep our troops in harms way and work toward a longer US presence in Iraq as Bush had envisioned.

- Dumber than dumb.. People who support bush''''s wars of "liberation". They support a loser with a track record of losing. An alcoholic who failed in every business venture he was involved in and shirked his military obligations. Yet he prances around arrogantly breaking laws right and left all in the name of national security. Yeah ...dumber than dumb.

You"re the moron, pal. You want years and years of gratification. You"ve had this dumba*ss war going on for almost 4 years and you want another 30 years of war if you can get it.
I bet you get some kind of *** thrill out of watching this war from your little couch, beer in hand.
Your day is over. - Reply to this comment

You have a lousy grasp of history.
The war had already been going on since JFK at least, and LBJ put half a million men over there. Nixon continued the slaughter with massive, unprecedented bombing.
It was lost long before Congress did a d*amned thing.
Millions had to die over there because of simplistic Romper Room thinking like yours.
It"s time the American voters shoved your way of thinking out of the picture. - Reply to this comment

- The problem with this country is that Americans are people who want and need immediate results. We live in a socitey of high technology nad fast interactions. We do not understand fully or can perceive what it is like to live in Iraq where life functions in on many levels far differant than our own. Americans are selfish and self consuming and if itsn''t about "them" or on their "timetable" they want none of it. Because of this attitude those who oppose the war or any for that matter will never be able to see that it sin''t about them. This war has no draft,those who went to irag did voluntarily and the Military is our only defense against terrorism. It is much more serious than opponents realize, and God forbid they have to find out how much again someday. We are in Iraq because of a much larger plan that has to continue well into the next Presidency. if the next President pulls out of Iraq before it is time we are all doomed.

The sole purpose of the surge was to give the Iraqi government the security it needed to broker peace amoung it''s waring factions. To this day, there is NO progress on this front and there doesn''t apear to be any on the horizon. So we, as a nation, can continue to play referee in a civil war and be drained of blood and treasure or we can let these people resolve their differences on their own.- Reply to this comment
- Simple plan, worked in Viet Nam, will work in Iraq too. Just watch.

Sigh, once the Congress cut off funding, the Vietnam war was lost. See, we were already outta there and the South was holding its own. Then BAM! Congress cut off the funding and we all know the rest. With George Soros backing Reid, we should lose Iraq too in a heartbeat. Good job George, keep Harry drugged and happy. Keep pouring that money in his pocket. - Reply to this comment
- Sigh. The Dimnowits will push, push, push, push, push for Defeat, defeat, defeat, defeat. The road to peace for the Dimnowits is defeat at all costs. We must be defeated. It is necessary for us to lose the war. Our integrity and perception around the world depends on it. Push, push, push, for defeat, defeat, defeat.

- Pelosi congress approval rating is the lowest in history."

In case you didn"t know, the "Pelosi Congress" is not 100% Democratic.
The Republicans in Congress are twice as unpopular as the Democrats.

But the Dimnowits are the majority and they have the lowest rating in the history of the Congress. Don''t foresee them getting the better hand next year either. I''m predicting 0% no confidence from the 110th Dimnowit Ruled Congress - Reply to this comment
- "61% of American Voters Want Troops Home From Iraq Within a Year
[That"s a greater percentage than the 59% who wanted Reagan over Mondale in 1984]
Tuesday, November 13, 2007
A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 61% of Americans would like to see U.S. troops brought home from Iraq within a year. For the second week in a row, that figure is up two points from the week before. Over the last eleven weeks, the number wanting troops home within a year has ranged from a low of 57% to a high of 64%.
Twenty-six percent (26%) now want the troops brought home immediately. That"s unchanged from a week ago.
Looking at the other end of the spectrum, 33% now want troops to remain in Iraq until the mission is complete. That"s down two points from a week ago.
[vrs. 41% who voted for Mondale in 1984]"

- Who is this "war" benefiting? The Iraqi''s. Hardly. They have no real concept or history of our type of democracy, what infrastructure they had is shot and goverment inspectors have said what "rebuilding" has been done is shoddy at best,with millions displaced and tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands dead the word ''freedom'' doesn''t carry much weight. The troops? I don''t think so. Americans? Intellegence agencies across the globe have said terroists groups are growing. Our borders are still wide open and weapons can still be smuggled onto planes.
Oil and military contractors? Now here it seems the benefits are golden. - Reply to this comment

- For my friends who are against our continuation in this war, based on my observations, I would encourage patience and faithfulness to our mission of democracy for the Iraqis. We were able to solve our civil rights issues ourselves, and so will they, as soon as we can work together to eliminate those outsiders that only want to destabilize the country and drive us out. The outsiders want us to leave so that they can intimidate the Iraqis into giving up their hopes for democracy. I think that all of us, as freedom-loving Americans, should prevent that from happening anywhere we''''re able to.

So it''s okay to LIE to the American People and get them into a War that had NOTHING to do with any attack on this nation AND one that has been used by the REAL enemy to completely rebuild his Organization to pre attack strenght. You poor fools!! Iraq is what it is.. a war based on PURE lies and IF the American People do NOT elect Democrats to Congress we''re STILL being fed the same tired old lies. Nothing anyone can ever say will EVER make this war right nor will it cause anyone to say that our Dictator was right. - Reply to this comment
- I suppose my point is, the discord in Iraq these days seems to be more of a politically salvageable nature. Despite the lynchings and riots of the 60''''s, We''''re not doing so bad anymore. Though we haven''''t managed to reach statistical equality between black and white in our country, we''''ve at least removed the vast majority of roadblocks preventing African Americans from acheiving the American Dream.

What right did we have to go into that nation and start telling these people how to govern themselves. To say that the South has improved too??? They have improved ONLY because the rest of the PEOPLE of this nation has made it clear to them that they WILL be locked up if they do not. The same thing has to take place in Iraq. There is NO political reconcilation in that nation and they are only bating Bush and Company. They have had this pathetic losers number from day one AND they studied you Fascist in that part of the Country very well. They KNOW all about your Arrogance... they know how you all feel superior to others. As soon as this clown starts pounding his chest again, all He11 will break loose. Sieg Heil Bush!! - Reply to this comment

Thank God! I don''t think this nation can take another bout with "trickle down" economic''s. We need a real leader and one that can repair our damaged status in this world. When the Citizens of ALL your Allies HATE your leader and compare him to Hitler, you have a major problem, one that a brain damaged leader can NOT help. Sieg Heil Bush!! - Reply to this comment
