>>>Second, the media, with only a handful of worthy exceptions, do an appalling job of presenting the facts behind the outrages. In the new issue of Prospect Magazine, Robert Dreyfus reports that Wayne White -- who led the State Department’s intelligence effort on Iraq until 2005 -- describes most of the “terrorists” in Iraq today as POIs, or “pissed off Iraqis “ who are fighting because “they don’t like the occupation”. Yet the press, until relatively recently, constantly replayed the Bush administration’s plain chant that without the American/British military presence Al Qaeda might take over Iraq. No wonder it has taken four years too long for the American and British public to turn against the war.<<<

...If WE were invaded and occupied by another country, I think we would do the samething that the Iraqi citizens are doing..Defending their country against another country that they DO NOT WANT THERE!
What needs to be done is to engage other countries in the region to take control. Remove ourselves from the area and work through Diplomatic means rather then Abusto's shot first policy....Invasion and Occupation is criminal and what they have done to that area is a crime againt humanity.

dispute that is about 1,300 years old. If you killed a child, a mother, a father, a sister, a brother, an uncle, an aunt, etc., etc., you'll be on their shitlist for a long time.

it appears that the anti-occuption violence is much more extensive than reported and that sectarian violence (read article on DU a couple of days ago documenting speech by Iraqi in Egypt) is not the root of the problem. Note that US casualties were twice that of the Iraqi army last month, and that more than 100 attacks a day against the US are still going on.

I don't think the administration is disappointed that everyone now is talking about the civil war, that Iraq will blow itself up if we leave, and that our presence is still needed.

I continue to be amazed, impressed, disgusted, and startled at the effectiveness of WH propaganda.

...There is a so-called President who is hell bent on dominating the region and will not to what the will of the people want their Government to do. This smuck is wanting to send even more troops to try an take control of the Oil resources. More then not, this also for his Saudi friends as well, I bet a million to one that is a mjor part of it. Saudi Arabia is rather quiet and I wonder why that is, after all this shit is going down in their backyard.

Saudi Royals are also at the center of this mess. Its odd that the most advanced military on the Planet, who can read your news paper over your sholder or you drivers licenses number from a Satillite cant seem to locate 1 guy? Bin Laden isnt in Afganistan, he is in Saudi Arabia with his extremly wealth family. There isnt Dialysis machines in every cave hole, duh. Shrub has not caught Bin Laden because he isnt suppost to, why? because its all part of the deal. when 15 of the 19 hijackers are Saudi, why the fuck did shrub through it all on Iraq and Afganistan? Because you do attack your friends, thats why. Bush and Company are hardcore criminals.

Bandar Bush probably told BushCo that "I have given you so much, I only ask that you give me Iraqs oil." There is so much Saudi money invested in the American economy that they basicly have us by the balls. If they were to pull out all their investments, our economy would be limping afterwards. It would hurt, alot, to say the least.

Pelosi is doing what should have been done from day 1, Diplomacy and not invasion. Bush is a fuck up and so is his entire adminestration, they blantly lied to us and the world and they will pay the price for these atrocities. He has earned one title, WORST pRESIDENT IN HISTORY.
