Yes, they’ve redefined “ethnic cleansing” as “what happens when you get a mexican to wash your windows really cheap”… and we know there isnt much of THAT going on in iraq…. mostly due to the lack of mexicans and intact glass…

I know they took civilian deaths due to car bombs out of the equation. Should I also gather that today the only "religious" violence is when both the victim and perpetrator are wearing a Roman collar ? (admittedly rare among Shia clerics).

With our soldiers tamping down fires in certain areas, how does that equate to success? What is meant by "winning?" Who are the losers? Cholera has broken out in areas. There is no potable water, no power, no economy and there is blatant war between sects. When we leave, it may be even more awful, but staying there isn't going to improve matters either.
