- "We may have to kill a million Iraqis and spend one Trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000) before they realize how much we want to help them."
I vote we sacrifice the bushies (like the one who wrote the quote) and their families first, after making off with their properties and bank accounts. Throw in torturing their kids with power drills just to make it exciting.
Obviously the bushies are traitors to the US since they want to bankrupt the US economy and destroy US trade so therefore we must conclude that sadly they can't understand the full benefits of our sham democracy. The bible says Thou shalt not kill but with the bushies an exception must be made. - Reply to this comment
- What about OSAMA BEEN FORGOTTEN.Didn't we start this war to capture him DEAD OR ALIVE.How we ended up in IRAQ which had nothing to do with 9/11.Does anybody think we can capture OSAMA BEEN FROGOTTEN from IRAQ?

- It looks like it is time to demand that DUMBYA and Cheney attend every funeral of a US soldier. That will keep those incompetent SOB's so busy that they won't have any time left to screw-up anything else.

"You bleeding heart liberals, terrorist sympathizers make me sick. Collateral damage happens in every War. In Vietnam we killed over a million civilians, and now it is a friendly country. So why are you complaining about Iraq. Only a few hundred thousand civilians have been killed in Iraq -- does our liberal media have to tell us about every one?! Freedom isn't Free! We may have to kill a million Iraqis and spend one Trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000) before they realize how much we want to help them.
Did you think Iraq was going to be easy? Cheney was right when he said that you liberals just "don't have the stomach for War"! Bush is our "War President" and he is not afraid to fight a War. Bush will NEVER leave Iraq and our Oil to all those terrorist people who hate our freedom and want to kill us.
God wants Bush to win in Iraq, and Bush knows he is doing what God wants. Sometimes a million people must die so we can have peace and prosperity. Bush understands all this. Sure, he feels sad about all the death and destruction(he is a compassionate conservative, remember), but Bush is also a tough War President and won't cut and run and leave our oil behind for the America haters to keep for themselves. God Bless America! God Bless Bush, our fearless leader, our War President!" - Reply to this comment
The big winners of this war are Iran and Halliburton.- Reply to this comment
- Patriot, money for the insurgents come from kidknapping and collecting the ransom and drugs and criminal activities. What do you expect from terrorist scum. Why are you surprised about Iran. Iran is the bigest terror supporter in the world. They dwarf Al Qeada. Islamic terrorism has been rising for 40 plus years and won't end until we have a big war with them which I have known is coming since 9/11.

- On a less Assoholic plan, this moron Walking-Liar Baush, started an illegal war without forseeing the mess he was going to produce by going it alone, despite disapproval of United Nations. And now he calls on the UN to clean up the mess. What an irresponsible!. What else but a Moron!.

- bushrocks1: One tend to think U R a castrate. U R talking of a son U don't have, everyone here bets. Like Walking-Liar Bush, he has no sons to send to war. U must only have daughters, if at all. So If that is the case, U are just a frustrated castrate dissipating your frustration over this blog and disturbing the heck out of us... Just to mention U, Most of us here can understand fromt he first time, not like U, who need to repeat and repeat to make sure U understand, Re-****! Or maybe U R Bush himself...

- Would I send my son to this war? You might ask would I send him to World War II? Or Vietnam? Maybe you would distinguish those conflicts and whether you would send your son to fight in them. But that question is misdirected in a very important way: I can't command my son to go to war. He has to make that choice. So the better question would be: would I volunteer to fight in Iraq, WW II, Vietnam? Would I volunteer to fight in any war? Respond if drafted? I don%u2019t know. I'm not equivocating, only addressing that it is a hypothetical. To a hypothetical, I can answer, sure I'd fight. But I have nightmares of battle (from my past life as a Jacobite). So how do I feel toward those who do volunteer? Impressed and maturely knowing that many things go into their decision. But I do strongly believe that a country that can't find those men is doomed. The fact that we can find them is one reason why I say there is no failure in Iraq. Objectively, I also believe it for other reasons. An attempt to establish democracy in the Middle East is a bold, brilliant, noble effort, facing a high chance of failure. That's why I greatly respect and admire those who have made the attempt--the Bush administration. They have been resolute, something I have not seen in my lifetime. They may not succeed, for reasons outside their control or fault: traitors on the home front being a big one. Now those traitors have apparently occupied the high ground. Yet... we're still in Iraq. Why?...I'm waiting.

Have you been told by JESUS or GOD,just like HALLUCINATING BUSH ,PET ROBERTSON,etc. or you have any reason to think that we are going to win this war.I hope and wish you are right but please talk with reasons. - Reply to this comment
- But we are gaining, you have to accept casualties, we are going to win.

- Our soldiers are dying every day by the weapons given to the IRAQ SECURITY FORCES by stupid BUSH ADMINISTRATION and by our TAX PAYED MONEY which is given to the RADICAL ISLAMIST IRAQI GOVT (working under the commands of RELIGIOUS AYATOLLAHs) on the name of REBUILDING IRAQ.The RADICAL SHIA EXTREMISTS have used United States to remove a SECULAR GOVT and to form an ISLAMIC EMPIRE from IRAN in the EAST to LEBANON in the WEST which according to their RELIGIOUS BELIEF will help the 2nd coming of their MESSIAH naemd IMAM AL MEHDI who will kill all the so-called INFIDELS,the same way OSAMA BEEN FORGOTTEN had used REAGAN ADMINISTRATION in the past to get the MILITARY TRAINING,WEAPONS and MONEY and use them against UNITED STATES in 9/11.
This is an UN-CONVENTIONAL WARFARE,unlike World War or Korean war,etc.I don't know when these NON-SENSE RELIGIOUS RIGHTS will understand these things.Why haven't they learned any lesson from the past. - Reply to this comment

- According to CBSNEWS.com, they are reporting "New"
(in red bold print)Seven More U.S. Troops Killed In Iraq, so what is so new about that? - Reply to this comment
- Fortunately, more and more of our best and brightest service men and women are refusing to participate in the disgraceful U.S. war of aggression against Iraq.
They are the only true U.S. military heroes of the U.S. manufactured Iraq catastrophe, in my opinion.
