I can not agree with you in 100% regarding some thoughts, but you got good point of view

Considering that the Republican Place compound is 1.7 square miles and the fact that you could put 18 U.S. Embassys (the 104 acre one) in side the RP footprint, I would say all of those other 16 “permanent” bases and the other 106 “camps” the U.S. operates out of could fit easily as well. When you get a clue as to what you are talking about in terms of site sizes as far as bases are concerned, then you let me know.

Yes, uh huh, now with Saddam dead, and the people who killed him quite OBVIOUSLY and visciously in control of the goverment, how many iraqi’s do you think answered that question honestly. the fact 1/3 of the populace was both willing and able to admit that life was better with a dead dictator in control, and less than half claimed otherwise is very telling. crunch the numbers….shia are 60 percent of the country… crunching the numbers, youve got every sunni, plus at the very least 15 percent of the shia saying life is not better than it was under saddam…. and when did we get in the business of caring whether dictators opress thier people anyway? why is iraqi opression suddently worth all this blood and treasure compared to other opressed peoples?

Just like America!

You aren’t suggesting that the new U.S. Embassy is going to be a single monolithic structure are you? I sure hope not.

The Republican Palace compound measures 1.7 square miles in area. That’s about 1,850 acres. The U.S. Embassy compound will cover about 104 acres. Are you kidding?! Not even close! LOL!

It’s a lie? No, it’s not.

Even the ORB poll doesn’t have a majority so what are you talking about.

Unlike you, they are used to a tougher life and do not take things for granted like you spoiled brats sitting on your iMacs at Starbucks drinking lattes and having mommy pay your college fees.

The elitists are in the republican party and your president is the biggest elitist of all. I wish I could “[sit] on [my iMac] at Starbucks drinking lattes and having mommy pay your college fees.”

It’s a lie? No, it’s not. Go to the Brookings Institution web site and check out the Iraq Index. Check every single poll taken in Iraq since the invasion, by various polling entities. Every one of them shows most Iraqis stating that the war was worth it, that they are better off, etc, etc. It is what it is. Stating it’s a lie doesn’t make it one.

Even polling data posted by Think Progress just recently shows that only around 10% of Iraqis say that their life is worse now than under Saddam.

Grow up. The Iraqi people do not agree with you, be man enough to acknowledge it and move on. Unlike you, they are used to a tougher life and do not take things for granted like you spoiled brats sitting on your iMacs at Starbucks drinking lattes and having mommy pay your college fees. Just because their life sucks compared to yours doesn’t mean that it wasn’t even worse before.

Get a friggin clue.

Go fu*k yourself (that’s how you write it if you don’t give a flying fu*k about some dumb a$$ troll on a blog pretending to be the grammar police)

I know how Baghdad looks or use to look. I wanted you to post some pictures of the rest of Iraq.

Those do not even compare to the Larger than Vatican Embasy that we have built! And you wonder why the Iraqis beleive that we are never leaving……

Because we are not! Who builds a 2 billion dollar embassy and then leaves?

This is a lie.

Wow. How brave. How original. Any word on when he’s going to figure out how to follow his city’s emergency planning? Mr. Nagin left a thousand people to drown in St. Louis, while hundreds of buses stood unused. If he were brave, he’d impeach himself for such dereliction of duty.

Where is the proof? Show the polls that say that more than 50% are happy we are there and that they support the US! Show me the polls that say that they condem Iraqis that attack or bomb US troops!

Didn’t I tell you to stop with the strawmen and the tangents? The polls show, and have always shown, that Iraqis feel that the invasion and removal of Saddam Hussein has been worth it, even taking all the hardships into account.

The majority of Iraqis feel that they are better off now than under Saddam, this has been revealed in poll after poll after poll.

Of course the Iraqis want us to leave. We want to leave too! Unfortunately, both sides understand that we cannot leave yet due to the security problems.

I know it’s hard to believe, but sometimes you have to do what is necessary and not what you want. I guess in this day and age there are too many spoiled brats who don’t understand the concept.
