It is likely that America and most of the world do not know what the conditions are like in iraq. The mainstream press waits for a cue from the Bush team to do too much of its “picture painting” of Iraq.

Now whatif there was someone who got his Iraqi information first hand. He was there in 2003 when the victorious Allies marched into Baghdad. He certainly ought to be able to give his perception of Baghdad in 2003 and beyond.

This gentleman was a British Diplomat so his observations ought to “hold water” and he was not under military constraints to ask “MAY I SPEAK FREELY, SIR”?

But Sir Jeremy Greenstock’s book, ” The Cost of War” had some in Britian looking at it “crosseyed”. Some did not want it published.

Now why is that?

The Motherland of the World’s Greatest Democracy was hesitant about publishing a book? Something seems BAD WRONG here.

So, what is it about Iraq that some folks don’t want published? What kind of answers might the book provide that some British government officials did not want provided. Should the comments on the conditions in Iraq come only from the Government?

One of the early things I recall about Sir Jeremy’s comments concerned the lack of an Allied government to replace the government deposed by the Allies. He looked for, but could not find, any American general whose job it was to start a new government(to replace the old government deposed by the Bush team).

You will not hear that information from the Bush team. You will not hear that information from any “appointee” of the Bush team.

The Red Cross and the United Nations speak of significant numbers of Iraqi refugees seeking refuge in nearby countries. A U.S. Vice President and a U.S. Senator just came back from Iraq. Refugees? What Refugees?

It is HARD, but the Bush team keeps trying to fool all of the people all of the time.

Would the Bush team and the Motherland want that ose ideas kept in someone’s head?

If Mr. Hadley would do his job effectively then there would be no need for a war czar. It is time for the administration to acknowledge that this policy needs to change and democrats must now take bold steps to change the president’s policy in Iraq. Sen. Reed is right Mr. Hadley should step down if he is not able to properly do his job. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the tensions between the administration and Iran are critical national security issues that any national security adviser must not shy away to address. Adding a new post more than 4 years after the Iraq war began will do nothing to change the situation on the ground. Gen. Lute will not be effective in doing his duties when he will have to defend a policy he essentially disagrees with. Incompetence has been a serious concern with this administration and hiring one more individual will do nothing to bring progress in this war that we can no longer win militarily.

Insurgents Use Thermal Bombs on Humvees

The grenades used by the insurgents are russian-made thermal bombs made especially for armored vehicles as they can penetrate steel shields.

what you gonna do start a war with Russia , good luck with 22,000 nuclear warheads poited at America …… Actually more than the USA have

You want to whine about Iran’s power or the meddling in Iraq? Write the White House and Pentagon.

Well, I’ll raise a beer to Lute this afternoon and pray that he can do a much, much better job than his boss. Of course, given the record of unmitigated failure of the administration, I’m not going to hold my glass in the air for too long.

If we were being occupied by Canada (yeah, it’s possible if they use the jedi-mind trick on our stupid asses), would we not seek weapons from Mexico or Colombia? Surely Brazil could offer some amazonian anaconda snakes with friggen lazer beams attached to their heads so we could use them to defend ourselves.

Remember, this war is NOT ONLY ILLEGAL TO US, it’s illegal to them too. Getting help from whatever neighbors is hardly a cause for concern or new. If we’re going to pursue Iran for helping their neighbors (with whom they have a rigteous interest), then we must pursue all those who supply weapons used against our forces.

Hardley working, hardley American, hardley worth the time.
