I REMEMBER!
http://icasualties.org/oif/Details.aspx

15000 attacks / year
1774 coalation forces killed
Cost of war: $167,661,801,533 and rising (http://www.costofwar.com/index.html)
And the new $82,000,000,000 bill is about to pass as well

What a waste of money, time and people for nothing

freedom and democracy even if we have to kill every last one of them.

unguarded.

Thanks, "liberal" media, for keeping the pressure on!

of Bush's Rummy's and Sanchez' UTTER INCOMPETENCE!

WMD's, money, munitions, critical thinking. Yes, I remember, it's a shame that we don't even think about it when we hear ied, if we hear about it at all.

speaking truth to power lately. You're for sure on several watch lists now.

No, but seriously you are doing a fantastic job. I love your posts. And yeah, their families have NOT forgotten.

And neither have we.

Let's see here:

Wolfowitz's 1992 Rule the World document: http://work.colum.edu/~amiller/wolfowitz1992.htm

States that any country that has resources of interest for the US can be preemptively attacked.

PNAC "Rebuilding America's Defenses" states that Iraq should be under the control of the US (Puppet Government) and 14 permanent bases are underway as well as the most expensive Embassy in the world.

SUMMERY: -->> THEY DON'T PLAN ON FUCKING LEAVING! <<--

QUESTION: NAME 1 THING THAT HAS BEEN DONE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE IRAQI
PEOPLE SINCE THE INVASION.


The more chaos that is generated in Iraq = the more justification for US BEING THERE.

That was supposed to have been swept under the rug!

They knew where these explosives that could be used to detonate a NUCLEAR WEAPON were, and they completely ignored them on the invasion.

Hello MSM, didn't he claim those WMD components were the reason why we needed to attack Iraq?

You guys just don't get it do you? We haven't had an explosives program in 10 years.


:smoke:

Do I need the "</sarcasm>"?

Bush, Rummy etc. had nothing to do with it, they just got let down by the troops.

Just like Abu Ghraib. :mad:

And this scumbag also knows a lot more about 911 than we think.

good.


sleazy fucker.

He was on the "Today show" I think and he was saying how it wasn't Bush's fault or anybody in his administration but the soliders who were supposed to be guarding it. AH!

Military officials said Thursday substantial progress has been made in armoring United States military vehicles in Iraq — but given the increasing number and sophistication of those enemy roadside bombs, that is clearly not good enough.

It's a staggering new statistic. The Pentagon announced Thursday that 70 percent of American soldiers and Marines killed in Iraq today are victims of improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

At a House Armed Services committee hearing Thursday angry lawmakers were demanding to know why the Pentagon has not done more to protect U.S. forces in Iraq.

"And I come to this hearing with a sense of outrage,” said Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa. “I can’t tell you the number of homes I've sat in with soldier's families whose come home in body bags."

Of the nearly 2,700 Marine Corps Humvees in Iraq, fewer than 500 — that’s less than 18 percent — are fully armored, while the Marines have suffered some of the highest casualty rates, in some of the most intensive combat of the war.

If a dirty bomb is released some day you can thank George Bush for failing to protect Iraqi nuclear sites in the aftermath of the invasion. It's interesting to wonder how they could fail to guard these sites, considering the pretext for war was Iraq's nuclear ambitions.

to guard those sites, especially since the first places we "secured" were the oil wells.
