Bush's reason...Mar 24th, 2008 - 21:29:10

for staying in Iraq keeps changing. First it was non-existant MWD's, then non-existant Al Queda, now it's so the 4000 Americans, who are now non-existing, didn't die needlessly or in vain. Riiiight. The moron has no real reason to keep the killing going, other than pride. He is too stupid to say 'oops, I made a mistake.' Not that anyone would believe him now.

The choice is clear ...Mar 24th, 2008 - 22:02:09

Bush made the right decision and history will show this. Not a single terrorist attack after 9-11 (no, I'm not going to include anthrax Or Cindy Sheehan as exceptions) on U.S. soil. We, those who understand what freedom really is, will truly miss President Bush.

Although McCain is certainly the best choice to be the next President, Barack or Hillary would certainly show the continued incompetencey and weak leadership that the left has to offer. If the motivations weren't so selfish and the consequences so disastrous for the Iraqi people, I would consider voting for a Democrat. It is just too cruel ....

SP4: AbsolutelyMar 24th, 2008 - 23:02:25

These libnazi wags never bother to tell you about the 500 WMD's found in Iraq, or the two set off there since the invasion.

They never mention Saddam's pre-war relationship with Al Zarqawi, or Hamas, or Abu Nidal, his funds for services rendered, his safe passage, passports and other soft help he gave terrorists who helped him undermine his neighbors.

They never mention that we have broken Al Qaeda's back in Iraq, or the successfully stymied Iranian attempts at undermining the new government.

They also never mention how Sunni, Shiite, and Kurdish leadership privately wants the US to stay.

Finally, they absolutely never mention how they greenlighted all of this WITH Bush, in order to get him to rid them of Saddam, then were able to blame him for it later. They wants us to believe that Bush fooled all those liberals into believing Saddam had WMD's.

It hardly speaks well for the intellect of any candidate, currently running for President, to now claim that GW Bush fooled them, huh?

As we can see from today's news, this was never a 'surge', but rather a permanent increase in troops. When you leave it to the Generals as to how many troops they require, the answer comes back, 'How many have you got?'

Bush never intended to reduce force strength beyond some token level, once they were in there. What we need is to send SP4 over to TALK the enemy to death.

'Please shut him up; we surrender!'

'WASHINGTON — Troop levels in Iraq would remain nearly the same through 2008 as at any time during five years of war, under plans presented to President Bush on Monday by the senior American commander and the top American diplomat in Iraq, senior officials said.'

----------

Meanwhile, despite SP4's concern about all of the wrong things, the recent attack on the Green Zone was no doubt Shia radicals; so the cease-fire is effectively in the past. Al Sadr already gave the Mahdi Army the go-ahead to 'protect themselves' - which means blowing up someone else.

BAGHDAD — As many as 20 mortar shells were fired Sunday at the heavily fortified Green Zone, one of the fiercest and most sustained attacks on the area in the last year.

Although the source of the attacks could not be determined conclusively, two witnesses said the early-morning rounds were fired across the river from the Shiite-dominated Baladiyat neighborhood by militia men who the witnesses believed belonged to the Mahdi Army of the Shiite cleric Moktada al-Sadr.

American military officials have in the past blamed Shiite militia factions or “special groups” backed by Iran for such attacks. The factions are thought to be splinter groups of the Mahdi Army.

Last month, Mr. Sadr announced the extension of a cease-fire begun last year and said that he would not tolerate any violations. But in recent weeks, there have been clashes between Mahdi fighters and multinational forces in Kut, southeast of the capital, and Diyala Province, to the north.

Mission Still Not AccomplishedMar 25th, 2008 - 01:30:23

One of the cruelest ironies is that Iraqis have not taken advantage of the American troop surge, which was intended to create space for them to resolve their political differences. After much foot-dragging, they passed a 2008 budget and a law granting amnesty to thousands of Sunnis and others in Iraqi jails. But a law on sharing oil wealth is stalled and one aimed at allowing former Baathist Party members back into government may actually drive many out. Another bill, mandating provincial elections by October, was passed by Parliament, then vetoed by the Presidency Council of Iraq’s top leaders. Only after pressure from Mr. Cheney was it suddenly revived.

Mr. Bush wants Americans to believe that Iraq was on the verge of “full-blown sectarian warfare” when he boldly ordered an escalation of forces around Baghdad last year. In fact, sectarian warfare was raging for months while Mr. Bush refused to listen to the generals, who wanted a new military approach, or to the vast majority of Americans, who just wanted him to end the war.

All evidence to the contrary, Mr. Bush is still trying to make it seem as if Al Qaeda in Iraq was connected to the Al Qaeda that attacked America on Sept. 11, 2001. He tried to justify an unjustifiable war by ticking off benefits of deposing Saddam Hussein, but he somehow managed to forget the nonexistent weapons of mass destruction.

Vice President Dick Cheney was equally deep in denial on Monday when he declared at a news conference in Baghdad that it has all been “well worth the effort.”

Tell that to the families of nearly 4,000 Americans who have been killed — far too many of them because Mr. Bush and his arrogantly incompetent secretary of defense, Donald Rumsfeld, failed to plan for an insurgency that many others saw coming. Thousands more Americans have been wounded and deprived of adequate post-conflict care while Iraqis have died by the tens of thousands. More than five million have been driven from their homes.

Add in a cost to the United States that some say could exceed $3 trillion, the new political opening created for Iran, the incalculable damage to America’s reputation and the havoc wreaked on Iraqi society. Few lament Saddam Hussein’s passing, but the war has left Iraq a broken country, made the United States more vulnerable, not safer, and stretched the American military to a point that compromises its ability to fight elsewhere.

The increase in American forces last year initially produced a steep decline in insurgent attacks. But the conflict has drifted into a stalemate with the levels of violence remaining constant, and unacceptably high, from November 2007 through early 2008, according to a Government Accountability Office report. As Mr. Cheney visited Iraq, a bombing killed 43 people.

The failure to finish in Afghanistan haunts usMar 25th, 2008 - 01:34:09

Suspected militants in Pakistan have blown up 36 oil tankers that supply fuel to U.S.-led forces in neighboring Afghanistan.

Pakistani officials Monday said the attackers set off two bombs near the trucks, triggering fires and explosions Sunday night in the Khyber tribal district. At least 70 people were wounded.

More than 80 oil tankers bound for Afghanistan were parked in the area when the explosion happened.
