Maybe you need to do some more research in the matter??????
A arhab (SP?) could not have threatened Air Force One with coded language!!!!
9/11 was performed by our own government to fool people like you!!!!
April 9th, 2007 at 5:32 pm#2…stupid comment. ct = patrick1, firehead, etc.
April 9th, 2007 at 5:33 pm#2 Whaaa?
April 9th, 2007 at 5:36 pmThese delusional Iraq war apologists would hear about the Jeff Dahmer story and take away the good news that no one is starving in America.

April 9th, 2007 at 5:37 pmBush and McCain say everything is going good and progress is being made the Iraq people love the US. What you see and hear is not happening. The troops gave the kids candy for Easter to win the hearts and mines of the people that should do it. Oh McCain helped build the Iraq economy but buying 5 rugs for $5.oo that helped over 50 million people. The media is lying none of our troops have died and the mission has been accomplished.
April 9th, 2007 at 5:39 pmBush/Cheney/McCain and others would never lie. Oh as for the thousands of Iraq people marching they were really saying WE LOVE BUSH AS OUR LEADER. Now get Congress to give us the money and all will be find. The Iraq people have lights, water, schools and everything they need. As Maliki said the Iraq are one people with no problems. Just give money. Smart move on Bush’s part to only send National Guard for their fouth trip to Iraq and not use enlisted soldiers. National Guard don’t get any benefits and their pay is really low. So that leaves more money for Halliburton oil drills and pay offs for keeping the lie going. Watch the media stations and the press to spin and lie.
25 more senseless killing over a war that should never have been.
Those poor people.

Gosh! I never thought of that! Just how did they pull it off without anyone seeing them?
April 9th, 2007 at 5:48 pmThe more people die the happier Satanist Bush gets!
April 9th, 2007 at 5:49 pmHundreds of thousands of chanting Iraqi Shiites burned and stamped on US flags at an anti-American rally
So All the Sunni want US troops to leave
Now Hundreds of thousands of Shiites want US forces to leave
Time to leave so the Iraqis can have a normal life , spending billions of their Oil wealth on THEMSELFS…………… rebuilding a destroyed country
also seen the new claims US accused of using neutron bombs
The former commander of Iraq’s Republican Guard has accused the US of using non-conventional weapons in its war against the Middle East country.
Saifeddin Fulayh Hassan Taha al-Rawi told Al Jazeera that US forces used neutron and phosphorus bombs during their assault on Baghdad airport before the April 9 capture of the Iraqi capital.
The enemy used neutron and phosphorus weapons against Baghdad airport… there were bodies burnt to their bones,” he said.
The bombs annihilated soldiers but left the buildings and infrastructure at the airport intact, he added.
A neutron bomb is a thermonuclear weapon that produces minimal blast and heat but releases large amounts of lethal radiation that can penetrate armour and is especially destructive to human tissue.

And who did the killing?
April 9th, 2007 at 5:51 pmsteel does not burn! everyone knows that
April 9th, 2007 at 5:52 pmThe violence tracked in that article is horrifying.
We caused that. We need to leave — NOW.
April 9th, 2007 at 5:52 pmIran announced it is now operating 3000 centrifuges
April 9th, 2007 at 5:53 pmCost Of Iraq War Filters Down To States And Cities
The cost of the Iraq war is filtering down to state and local budgets, forcing cuts in transportation funding, Medicaid, education and other federally subsidized programs, according to analysts and lawmakers.
“These are funds that we aren’t going to receive. Low Energy Assistance Program, $9.8 million, gone. Head Start, $3.7 million, gone. Child Care and Development Block Grant, $1.1 million. Community Development Block Grant, $13.5 million. Special Ed, $8.8 million,” House Majority Leader Alice Madden, D-Boulder, said during a debate Thursday over a state resolution opposing the escalation of the war in Iraq.
“Also, we’re not going to get the Criminal Alien Assistance Program to house criminal aliens, $5 million that was promised and now isn’t coming,” Madden said. “This is why it’s important to take a stand. The more money that’s spent over there means our citizens in this state aren’t going to get services they need.”
April 9th, 2007 at 5:53 pmi’m sure the centrifuges are for peaceful purposes. the iranians are god’s angels
April 9th, 2007 at 5:56 pmThe safety and security of the occupied people is the sole responsibility of the occupying force. Failure to provide that is a war crime.
We are responsible for every unnatural Iraqi death irrespective of who took that life. We have failed to provide for their safety and security and continue to refuse to get out of the way and allow someone else to take over and save these people.

April 9th, 2007 at 6:03 pmis rosie o’donnel the same as rosanne?
April 9th, 2007 at 6:07 pm(I don’t have a television)
theres an article Ive been trying to post a few times and TP will not let it appear so I goto http://www.antiwar.com/
and look at
Cost of Iraq War Filters Down to States and Cities
the 10th article down in the news section ???? and look at the mess Bush has done to America
April 9th, 2007 at 6:08 pmmichael is obviously blinded by his loyalty to Bush and is just another neocon hack who won’t take responsibility for anything.
April 9th, 2007 at 6:08 pmAnd who did the killing?
Comment by michael — April 9, 2007 @ 5:51 pm
Obviously not you, as you already admitted you were one of the COWARDS that hid under their desks during Vietnam, while REAL men and women went to fight. They left the incompetent children like you to wash the toilets, and look st*pid. Nothing apparently has changed in your job skills! Loser!
April 9th, 2007 at 6:13 pmWow, what an interesting dichotomy. There seems to be a clear divide between those of conscience who speak out about the genocide and are genuinely troubled by the murders occurring in their name, and the itty-bitty-dicky club who make up for their, er, short comings by preaching hate and calling for more murder.
Fortunately the I.B.D.C. is shrinking rapidly. And no, it’s not due to cold water. Probably more attributable to atrophy from lack of communal use (apparently “flying solo†doesn’t work, sorry Michael).
April 9th, 2007 at 6:13 pmMichael, who has been sure this would all work out, shows up to tell those of us that didn’t think it would work out “dopes.” Jake, channeling Borat, wants to turn the country into a “glass parking lot.”
Wow! This is what thoughtful people are dealing with in our society today – sociopathic, childish brats.

Comment by ct — April 9, 2007 @ 5:29 pm
You do realize we’re in Iraq and not Saudi Arabia.
April 9th, 2007 at 6:25 pmYes, the same nitwits that call for the parking lots will then claim that anti-war folks don’t care about people in the Middle East.
These pro-war Bush-bots are a conflicted bunch.
-GSD
April 9th, 2007 at 6:35 pmThere is a reason why these nitwits keep conflating Iraq with the 9-11 attack. Their cult leaders keep repeating the myth and as cult members, they must take what their leaders say at face value. Any questioning would not be looked upon favorably by other cult members.
April 9th, 2007 at 6:41 pmOh, there is a connection between the two, but it has nothing to do with Arabs.
April 9th, 2007 at 6:54 pmI could have sworn I saw some Bush supporters around here claiming the “surge” would cut down on this kind of thing. U.S. daily casulties are up as well. When will just one Bush cultist step up and admit the obvious: the “surge” was simply another pile of b.s. heaped on all of us by the bullshitter in chief.
April 9th, 2007 at 6:59 pmTobey –
April 9th, 2007 at 7:05 pmantiwar.com has great articles, some which may be considered controversial.
Raven,
Rosie O’Donnell is not the same person as Rosanne (Barr). They do have something in common – both are obnoxious.
And by the way, I’m supporting Richardson. He has progressive ideas and courage.
April 9th, 2007 at 7:10 pmI wish Bill Richardson would consider being someone’s running mate as VP. He’s awsome, but I don’t think he can get the nomination. He brings tremendous talent and experience to any ticket and he also brings a huge latino vote. When latinos hear Richardson on a Spanish language station, they know they’re listening to someone who speaks the language fluently.
April 9th, 2007 at 7:18 pmThank you, CDWF…..
April 9th, 2007 at 7:19 pm[I was (honestly) unclear about the rosy identities.....]
Thanks as well for being a supporter of Governor Bill.
He has done excellent work here in the Land of Enchantment, and as well may be the most respected diplomat abroad the US has.
I’m uncertain about his chances this time around for President, however he would make an ideal VP, or Secretary of State in the very least.
The United States is going to need some very talented people in the next decade to heal the greivous wounds caused by the butchers currently residing in and around the white house.
Seems to be the pattern, a candidate has to run for the top job to make a showing, and then hopefully be picked as a running mate.
April 9th, 2007 at 7:25 pmRichardson’s name came up in 2004 as a possible VP for Kerry, he has greater recognition and accomplishments now……..
Raven – I’ve been watching Richardson since 2004. I wrote to him and told him that if ran for president, I would work his campaign. Here in PA, his campaign is quite. I’ve volunteered at his website… just waiting to hear more. The Obama campaign has taken off here in PA and I would like to get something started for Richardson.
Here’s the ticket for 2008: Richardson/Obama.
April 9th, 2007 at 7:46 pmUm yeah, it’s a war. People die. 400,000 Americans died in World War II. Should we have not fought the war because you casualties?
Man, if the liberals were in charge in World War II, I think we would have surrendered in a day. White flag! Don’t hurt me Germans! Please Japannesse, I’ll do anything you say, just don’t hurt me!

April 9th, 2007 at 7:59 pmpissant,
Yes, people die in war — which is exactly why you’re not commenting from Iraq.
Chickenshit.
April 9th, 2007 at 8:04 pmThe American people are not getting the full story of what’s going on in Iraq.
April 9th, 2007 at 8:05 pm#2 Was that a f*cking serious post?
April 9th, 2007 at 8:06 pm#9 How did they not pull it off without anybody seeing?
April 9th, 2007 at 8:07 pmJust wake up tirehead?
Gonna grab a couple pop tarts for dinner, and head back to the bar as soon as it’s dark?
How do you get the frosting out of your keyboard?
April 9th, 2007 at 8:07 pmWe should bury those who propose a parking lot under said parking lot.
April 9th, 2007 at 8:09 pmFirehead,
Who was president when the US intervened in WWII? None other than that conservative firebrand Franklin Roosevelt. That book in front of you is for reading.
April 9th, 2007 at 8:09 pm#43 Nice strawman, Corky.
April 9th, 2007 at 8:09 pmDEATH TAKES NO HOLIDAY IN Iraq, BUT I WISH HE WOULD PAY CHIMPya and FRANKENCheney AN EXTENDED VISIT—FOREVER—LIKE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD Monkey Boy PLUGGED INTO THE HYDROGEN TANK AND KABLOOM!!!! JUST LIKE THE HINDENBURG, NICHT WAHR????
April 9th, 2007 at 8:11 pmre: #43
I got a news flash for you—liberals WERE in charge in WWII. FDR and Truman were considered very far to the left by righties in America. JFK and McGovern were war heroes. Reagan never left Hollywood (although he thought he did). John Wayne took deferments.
Real lefties went to Spain in 1936 to fight the fascist Franco.
April 9th, 2007 at 8:12 pm#43
Please, that tired old “the Democrats want to wave the white flag” garbage you spew is worn out. Fact is, this is nothing more than an illegal occupation. The Iraqis want us out. The protest today proved that even more so. But you and the rest of the Bush apologists will just continue to spew the Hannity, Limpbaugh,Cheney and Bush talking points hoping something sticks.
Not a chance of that happening though. Must be hell being in that minute 30% that still supports this administration.
April 9th, 2007 at 8:14 pmre: #43,
If after Pearl Harbor, the US invaded and occupied China, then you could use that as an analogy to our current situation in Iraq.
April 9th, 2007 at 8:16 pmre: #43
Oh yes, Bush’s grandfathers funded the Nazi war machine.
April 9th, 2007 at 8:20 pmJust how did they pull it off without anyone seeing them?

April 9th, 2007 at 8:47 pmGee, but those persian rugs were only $1 — why don’t they report that good news?
April 9th, 2007 at 11:03 pmTen Americans over the weekend. 25 Iraqis today. But things are looking better, right? Yeah, right.
Ahhh Firehead, calling people pansies from the comfort of your Mommy’s desk. Isn’t the anonymity of the internet great for you pussy chickenhawks?
Tell you what little buddy, if we ever met in a bar, I would jam a 12 ounce longneck up your chubby fat ass and break the neck off.
Being against Bush’s War has nothing to do with being passive, it has all to do with having some intelligence.
Pathetic little loser.
April 9th, 2007 at 11:10 pmNothing displays a conservative troll’s historical ignorance more than the “good thing liberals weren’t in charge during WWII” rant. We had a Democratic majority in congress. We had FDR, their favorite liberal boogieman as Commander-in-chief followed by “let’s give Medicare to every American” Harry Truman… The only Americans who wanted to cower in the corner were the republicans.
April 9th, 2007 at 11:11 pm#61 Heh, I missed it. FDR is an arch-conservative according to the trolls? Fine, bring back Alphabet Soup, aholes.
April 9th, 2007 at 11:25 pmMan, if the liberals were in charge in World War II, I think we would have surrendered in a day. White flag! Don’t hurt me Germans! Please Japannesse, I’ll do anything you say, just don’t hurt me!

April 9th, 2007 at 11:36 pmJoe, firehead has got to be fake. Anybody who sees his post must become liberal.
April 9th, 2007 at 11:41 pmPer George Wl Bush things in Iraq are going good and we’ve made progress. All the Iraq people want us to stay and give money to help their country. McCain wants to walk in the market to buy goods as it is now safe to take a stroll without protection. ( It’s a joke, or fun) Don’t believe you saw 1/2 Million Iraq people marching for the US got get out, or the fact that now Al Sadr asked that only US troops be killed. I noticed the the Iraq military joined in the March for the US to get out. While Maliki tell Japan the Iraq people are one yet back in Iraq the people call out for their leader Al Sadr not Bush’s appointed President Maliki. Halliburton is finishing up work in Iran yes the same Iran that Bush called the Axis of Evil. Homeland Security/Bush ordered no American company could do business with Iran.
April 9th, 2007 at 11:47 pmNow we learn the only company that has US Contrats has been doing business with Iran for the pass 6 years with the White House approval. Cheney is a great CEO as he played the American people for fools.
47 troops inc 6 Uk killed in 10 days

April 10th, 2007 at 4:21 amTimes are changing
WW11 cannot be a argument in todays war about surrendering, WW11 was a just war
As where Iraq was a war based on Lies to steal Oil
All future wars are in Americas interest only – look at the mess in Somalia now – so long as America is at the top Its interest is to keep other countries in the stoneage ???? end of story
Time for a change America You cannot continue down this wreckless path
April 10th, 2007 at 5:26 ampls stay in iraq; please fight the world’s one billion muslims.
pls don’t re-build New Orleans, or build schools or tackle health care;
pls fight iraq AND Iran and be dead-enders.
Hhahahahahaahahahah
April 10th, 2007 at 5:51 ammy heart goes to the mothers and fathers, the sisters and brothers of all the people killed in a pointless war today
April 10th, 2007 at 6:35 am#43 & 63. You are comparing apples to oranges (Iraq vs. WW II) which is not an accurate comparison to make. The historical differences between the situations of both WW II and Iraq are grossly different. WW II a great deal of the “free world” had been taken over and occupied by the Axis forces of Germany, Japan, and to a lesser extent Italy. In the case of Iraq, we (the US) decided to unilaterally invade and then occupy a country that did not attack us (as did Japan during WW II) and followed by Germany’s declaration of war upon us the next day. German U-boats were also invading US territorial waters and landing German operatives to commit acts of sabotage on territorial US land.
To equate the combined Allied force military operations against the Axis forces is ridiculous at the least and intellectually dishonest at the best. There were also nationals who were being systematically taken prisoner and sent off to either work camps or death camps — and not just those of Jewish descent. It also included gypsies, homosexuals, trade unionists, and the disabled.
It is important when making comparisons that the circumstances be nearly equal in order to make a valid comparison. Your comparison of WW II to the situation in Iraq in no way comes even close to being nearly equal.

April 10th, 2007 at 10:07 amIt is really no wonder that Iraq’s in the tens of thousands are
April 10th, 2007 at 1:21 pmprotesting our presence in Iraq, labeling it an occupation. We’ve
acted as there were only one solution to the terrorism problem, war.
It has become increasingly clear, however, as we approach another year
of war and wasted lives, that our efforts have not eliminated
terrorists. Our military presence and lack of attention to helping
people out of poverty fuels the anti-American flames abroad and in
Iraq. If we were to address terrorism at its roots, poverty; it would
be possible to reduce the number of lives lost, save money, and live
up to the reputation of world leader.
