		<description>Is General Petraeus spinning the American people?

John, Joe, Lindsey...you want to plug in your brains before reading this.

General Petraeus did NOT SAY we were &quot;winning the war&quot; and in fact has specifically prohibited anyone else from saying so or face a firing squad.

Now WHO is SPINNING WHAT? DING, DING, next stop, planet Earth.

You guys are pathetic, brain dead idiots.</description>

		<description>Republicans and their shills continue to claim that the UN thought Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.  That is a bald-faced lie. As someone mentioned, Colin Powell did convince the Security Council to go along with the US&#039;s claims, but the UN did have inspectors on the ground and this is what Hans Blitz of the UN said about it before the speech:


&quot;I think the inspector should be objective, and we should answer and tell the world only what we have seen, and not tell the world that, yes, they positively have weapons of mass destruction.&quot;

Blitz was very firm in his refusal to say Iraq had WMDs.

They also keep claiming that &quot;all the world&#039;s intelligence agencies&quot; agreed that Iraq had WMDs. But the only Ace in this deck is the assumption of a nuclear WMD.

Iraq was known to have used biological and chemical WMDs in the past, so no self-respecting intelligence agency would not agree that IRAQ &quot;had&quot; chemical and biological weapons. We also have to deal with the likelihood that that capability was given to Iraq by the United States to fight Iran.

By the way, with a little help from a half-witted chemist, anyone can make a biological or chemical WMD in their bathtub. 

Republicans need to deal with reality and not fantasy, or else they&#039;re never going to solve their personal problems.</description>

		<description>You forgot to mention that General Pertraeus has also prohibited some other expressions like:

&quot;Who got us into this mess?&quot;

&quot;Why did I join the Marines?&quot;

&quot;I should have gone to reform school.&quot;

&quot;How does that fragging thing work now?&quot;

&quot;Is there anyone here who knows what they&#039;re doing?&quot;

&quot;Lucky thing most of these bodies are dead Iraqis.&quot;

&quot;democracy, schmockcracy...&quot;

And so on. There&#039;s a free brochure at the PX.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;#44 Cook Says:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;So, all the Kurds killed by Saddam don’t matter?&lt;/blockquote&gt; Silly whhhaaaabit, no one&#039;s suggesting the murdering of Kurds didn&#039;t matter... except you. 

Besides, what kind of person uses the vulgarity of another to justify the vulgarity of his own...? Then in essence, YOU think Saddam&#039;s murdering of the Kurds was justified on some insane level because it holds some redeeming quality as a defense to the BushCo Crime Family.

Go back to your Whhhaaapublican Party and cry your pity tears there. God knows, and boy does He, your ilk is gonna need a whole lot of pity to escape hell.

		<description>The idiot trolls can&#039;t even read their own side. Petraeus knows that &quot;winning&quot; is getting out with the fewest possible additional casualties and Bushco doesn&#039;t have enough integrity to begin the inevitable withdrawal.

And how does &quot;decreased casualties&quot; stand up when April was the highest in nearly a year and June saw more casualties than May and March combined? How about the fact that casualties, military and civilian, were higher in the second quarter of &#039;08 than the first and approached the same levels from the previous year. Did the success of the surge begin and end in May?

When someone spouts &quot;decreased casualties&quot; they are referring to a condition which existed for a month.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Has anyone forgotten that even the UN believed that Iraq had WMD?&lt;/i&gt;
~Cook 

And apparently you have forgotten the other members of Security Council insisted resolution #1441 &lt;i&gt;didn&#039;t&lt;/i&gt; grant the US the use of force against Iraq, and that they threatened to vote down a US-sponsored resolution to allow said use of force -the very reason why the Bush administration refused to go to the UN again to get another vote by the Security Council on this. 

In other words, the UN Security Council didn&#039;t drink the kool-aid re those pesky fictitious WMD, the Bush administration had a hissy fit and decided to go with a &quot;coalition of the willing&quot; (does that trigger any memories? How about Rumsfeld&#039;s &quot;Old Europe&quot;? No?)

&lt;i&gt;Amazing how short people’s memories are now a days.&lt;/i&gt;

Indeed. Specially those, like you, who don&#039;t pay attention. You&#039;d do better stop drinking the kool-aid. It can permanently damage your brain, if it hasn&#039;t already.</description>

Nope - we got what we paid for.  Those Kurds are pretty dangerous dudes, you know.  Ask the Armenians!</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Cook Says:

Has anyone forgotten that even the UN believed that Iraq had WMD?
Amazing how short people’s memories are now a days.

July 8th, 2008 at 8:08 pm &lt;/i&gt;
_______

If you mean the UN Security Council, that&#039;s only because someone with the international stature of Colin Powell stood before the UNSC and blatantly LIED to them about Iraq&#039;s WMD.

Our intelligence agencies, however, knew that Iraq had &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.globalsecurity.org/intell/library/congress/2004_rpt/iraq-wmd-intell_intro-b.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;NO WMD CAPABILITY&lt;/a&gt;</description>
