		<description>&gt; so we need to leave asap and
&gt; abandon all of the Iraqis to
&gt; such murderers?

Please explain your unique concern for Iraqis as compared to people in other regions of the world who are being murdered in much larger numbers? Please explain why this shouldnt be a problem for U.N. like im sure you think massacres of people without oil under thier land should be.</description>

		<description>This surge was supposed to make political progress possible. Yet no political progress has been made. Instead we see republicans touting limited security progress from the surge. But without the political progress the violence will only get worse no matter how many troops are sent to Iraq.</description>

		<description>Oil-hungry troops and overpaid generals...

If you really believe that, it&#039;s a shame. I&#039;m about as open-minded, progressive, and anti-bush as they come in the military. I&#039;m also an Officer who will retire after another tour in Iraq. When I say you have no idea what you&#039;re talking about, that nothing of what you said has any logic or reason behind it, and that differentiating between those who conduct military and security operations due to the orders of an arrogant, incompetent, and so forth and so on commander in chief voted in by our very own electorate ...I&#039;m wasting my breath even replying to your idiocy. 
Our generals do not create policy. They execute missions with limitations and whatever resources the military and country offers...Soldiers do not gain a GD thing from oil you idiot, they burn in the desert and make less money than the average American. The NIE is extremely dissapointing with the information. Much has been put out earlier by a number of respected newspapers, journals, other intelligence reports, etc., and will fail to influence any policy decisions the administration will make until, at the earliest, the spring of next year.</description>

		<description>Osama has no oil.  He was merely a tool used to allow Bush to attack another country that had oil.  It&#039;s bait &amp; switch with hundreds of thousands of lives.  Now comes the liberation part where they try &amp; get the oil contract signed.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Joker aka Rasheed X will have no time to spend on the internet(s) due to his Introduction to Algebra I class
Yipeee

I doubt that that troll could understand that if 
A = B and B = C then A= C

More like if
Iraq = VietNam and VietNam = defeat then Iraq needs more troops, to stay there forever = Victory.</description>

Comment by Police Action â€” August 23, 2007 @ 12:59 pm

You think the people dying during this war are any less dead than the ones Saddam killed?  Two million of the best and brightest have fled Iraq during this war and there was no refugee issue under Saddam, try to figure it out.</description>
