“Why Your Sons and Daughters Died in Iraq”

I can answer that in one simple word…

MONEY. (oil is just a way of making money)

It remains an act of aggressive war, and it WILL be tried that way, sooner or later, because the neocon justification is falling to pieces, and because as the Guantanamo JAG officer said this week, “We cannot just invent some new legal system.”

Arguing about whether Betraeus is for real or just yanking our chain like CENTCOM has throughout this entire embarassing/horrifying clusterfk is a task worthy of you, Kilo, because apparently you are incapable of imagining how EVIL what has been going on is.

It’s all just a mistake, bad advice, bad intel, the liberals letting you down, failings in the will of the master race, etc.

ANYTHING, but recognize that genocide is illegal, and aggressive invasion and violation of evey conceivable international war standard is NOT OK.

“What a zinger.” – kilo
It must hurt to be so predictable.

You tell me. Fox has apparently made 3 racist presentations this week. Did it hurt when you made a predictable response for each ?

Print a lie.
Commentor calls it a lie.
What a predictable commentor.

Yeah run with that kid. That’s a winner.

Meanwhile I’ll remain the only reader here apparently able to question the accuracy of what I read reported by a news source and criticise such inaccuracies and misrepresentations.
I’ve not ashamed of my role in that state of affairs. You ?

It must hurt to be so predictable.

“Just leave the war to those of us who care and who are actually sacrificing something for it.” – Amy Proctor

That would exclude the Bush administration, who don’t care, and are sacrificing nothing.

Those of you who care so much you don’t care that Bush failed to write a single order to guard the munitions in Iraq so they could not be looted.

IEDs need explosives to make the boom. Bush handed out at least 274 metric tons of HMX, the best boomer in the world, to hostiles of our troops.

Do you, Amy the troll, have ANY idea how large a pile of 274 metric tons is? You’re talking about at least 30 ten ton trucks full. But the US doesn’t have any spy satellites under Bush. We don’t have enough boots to guard, under Rumsfeld. We don’t have any way to put that genie back into the bottle, so deploying more troops into a NIGHTMARE manufactured by Bush and Rumsfeld is nothing like ‘caring.’

—-> You hate the troops.

YOU JUST SUPPORT THE POLICY.

Come on… you knew it was true as soon as he got the job. That’s a prerequisit for even being considered.

All this way just to dump a cheap ‘ad hominem’. Was it really worth the effort Amy? Can you add anything to the discussion – I’m going to guess you are not worth reading.

Oh by the way, one of your Democrat ‘lies’ from the debate – you should probably do a little more objective analysis before you make long lists. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A28876-2005Feb16.html Ooh, Bush’s Iraq war DID create more terrorists, lots more…. CIA says so.

I spent 15 seconds on your site – I don’t feel inclined to waste anymore.

Hey Kilo, I already predicted your post back in #34. You should have saved yourself the trouble.

Yeah good one.
Really stuck it to those trolls by beating them to the punch in pointing out that TP is inventing contradictions and misrepresenting statements and how troop deployments commonly occur to their woefully uninformed readers who won’t know any better.
What a zinger.

We’re only about two months into the surge.
This is the same statement as this…
We haven’t started the surge — the full surge — yet.

Um, you think these mean the same thing? These DO contradict each other!

No, they don’t.
You also know that they don’t, which is why you deleted parts of the the quoted text before you claimed this.

What are you fkn 5 years old if you think this is going to fool somebody ?

THE WORLD SUPPORTS YOU IN YOUR STRUGGLE TO REPEL AND EXTERMINATE THE OIL STEALING INVADING INFIDELS !!!

MAY GOD BE WITH YOU ALL IN YOUR TIME OF NEED AND STRIFE !!!

Nice one….

“Looting became rampant because ammunition sites were inadequately guarded. David Kay, the former chief US weapons inspector said that looting was so bad during the fall of 2003 that Iraqis were going in at night individually and in trucks. “There were just not enough boots on the ground, and the military didn’t give it a high enough priority to stop the looting. Tens of thousands of tons of ammunition were being looted, and that is what is fueling the insurgency.”

“The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) confirmed Kay’s account and in a 9 November 2003 DIA report, noted the vast majority of explosives and ordnance used in anti- coalition improvised explosive devices have come from pilfered Iraqi ammunition stockpiles and prewar established caches.”

“…Use of these devices was rare until the summer of 2003.

and Bush’s statement, “Bring them on!”

“Before IEDs became the weapon of choice, coalition forces were predominately attacked with small arms and RPGs, items commonly found in ammunition caches. RPG-7s were the leading casualty producer, responsible for 50 percent of U.S soldiers killed in post-war operations until use of IEDs significantly increased in 2004.9 “IEDs continue to be the greatest casualty producer among our troops in the field,” General Abizaid said during a 3 March 2004 House Armed Services Committee hearing.10 Six months later with the IED problem continually growing, General Richard Cody, Army Vice Chief of Staff, stated in an interview in September 2004 that 500 to 600 IEDs go off every month and are now responsible for about 90 percent of killed and wounded.”

Thanks, George! Thanks, Republicans! Thanks, trolls!

You supported the troops into plastic bags.

We haven’t started the surge

Um, you think these mean the same thing? Haven’t started the surge yet we’re two months into the serve? These DO contradict each other!

ONCE AGAIN, ThinkProgress is spreading the LIE THAT CHLORINE BOMBS are being used in Iraq.

• These are NOT WMD Chlorine bombs. They do NOT kill with chlorine. The chlorine is NOT intended to be deadly as a gas.

But ThinkProgress can’t overcome it’s desire to spread this lie.

The chlorine — prevalent in Iraq BECAUSE OF THE ILLEGAL US BOMBING OF WATER WORKS IN IRAQ (and failure to repair same) — is being put into those bombs as an OXIDANT.

It’s makes the boom bigger.

It is not WMD, and it is not a chlorine bomb.

I’m sure the troops who have gone already and been killed and/or injured as apart of this surge appreciate that view.
Awesome!!

Oh look out, I’ve misread this.
You’re not pretending to suggest that troops have no idea what troop deployments involve or that they will be annoyed by their theatre commander having an unchanged assessment of that.

In fact you’re not pretending to voice invented concerns of deployed troops at all.
You’re pretending to speak on behalf of dead US soldiers with the same know-nothing appreciation of what deployment in a war zone involves.

Well, you’ve certainly outgrown the word “arsehole” there haven’t you.
