		<description>Obviously, we &quot;morally superior&quot; Americans somehow &quot;cannot be trusted with the truth,&quot; even with the RAHOWA in Iraq.

In contrast, &lt;a href=&quot;http://thedailyphosdex.ws/?twPgX=p2&amp;twArtY=GFGHER25381WSQ12RT&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the Germans probably had a better assessment of the Iraqi situation&lt;/a&gt; on the vidiot&#039;s box recently.</description>

It&#039;s even more dramatic than that. General Abizaid stated on Face the Nation that there are less than 20,000 insurgents in Iraq and about 1,000 foreign fighters inside Iraq. That&#039;s less than FIVE PERCENT.

		<description>That&#039;s the second time by comment has been deleted. 

Is it something I&#039;m saying (I&#039;m in full agreement with most of the other comments made above btw; I&#039;m not trolling)? 

Or is it  something technically related I&#039;m doing wrong?</description>

		<description>I find it unbelievable that the Wall Street Journal Editorial page can get away with misleading statements like this. Even more frightening is the thought that the people reading these so called &quot;OPINIONS&quot; actually believe it. 

Person a) reads blatent falshood, false statement becomes false assumption, false assumption is passed onto peers, which multiples false assumption; multiply that by the thousands -- broadcast comparable flashoods via conservative pundits via television and radio which multiplies suspect flashoods by the millions. So what you have is an entire segment of the population, with a system of beliefs completely disconnected from reality.

We live in scary times.

&quot;WSJ: Ã¢â‚¬Å“That more of the bombers seem to be coming from outside Iraq is cause for worry, since it means there will be a continuing supply of suicide bombers. But it also means that the insurgency is becoming an invasion force against Iraq itself, which means it lacks the native roots to sustain it.Ã¢â‚¬?

FACT: Ã¢â‚¬Å“U.S. military estimates cited by security analysts put the number of active jihadists at about 1,000, or less than 10 percent of the number of fighters in a mostly Iraqi-dominated insurgency.Ã¢â‚¬? [Washington Post, 5/14/05] &quot;</description>

		<description>Who cares what the Wall Street Journal says.
We&#039;re not blind, we will not change our position on the matter.
Just don&#039;t by their raggy tabloid if they are unable to use logic when editorializing.</description>

		<description>The frightening aspect for US, regardless of the numbers, the ethnic makeup or what &quot;throes&quot; the insurgency is in: every insurgent that gets out of Iraq alive has been well-trained by the United States of America. 

I don&#039;t know how well we&#039;re doing with the Iraqi security training, but the insurgents are getting top rate equipment free, realistic settings in which to practice, and we even provide live targets. Life doesn&#039;t get much better for Al Qaeda and friends.

And if that&#039;s not enough, the current administration is busy making self-aggrandizing spiteful pronouncements around the world. For starters today, I see that:

We&#039;re going to start processing uranium 238 again (for national security porposes of course).

We don&#039;t support the Kyoto protocols and see no reason to acknowledge the rest of the world&#039;s concern about global warming.

We won&#039;t fund any international AIDS programs that mention family planning, distributing condoms (especially to sex workers), mention or use needle exchange programs, want to use locally produced generic retroviral drugs instead of &quot;FDA-approved&quot; big Pharma. And countries that condone or (gasp!) control sex workers must stop. 

Any country not meeting our criteria isn&#039;t even considered for funding. And if they don&#039;t meet the AIDS test, they probably don&#039;t get money for TB, malaria, etc.

But we are funding a lot of programs that will bring Jesus to the poor, hungry, orphaned and sick of the world.

So in the name of the United States of America, we will make sure those well-trained insurgents have a welcome place among some group who has excellent reasons to hate us.

Well done America!
Happy 4th of July!
Fly your flag upside down on the 4th if you think we&#039;re on the wrong track.</description>

		<description>WSJ often reports well, but then COMPLETELY contradicts themselves in their editorial pages.

Must be a Conservative specialty of some kind.  Think one thing but say another.  Lying has become the hallmark of Conservative culture.

People may someday realize that Truth has nothing to do with the Konservative Agenda.  By that time I just hope its not too late.</description>

		<description>This is why the Wall Street Journal is often referred to as the War Street Journal. Anyone having any illusions about the Wall Street Journal should realize the one thing the Journal and Wall street like is war - war means riches.
