It only took them how many years to figure this one out?

oh they figured it out a while back - but they kept going to see how close they could get to duplicating Vietnam, all they are waiting for now is 55,000 more body bags, and the ''insurgents'' are working on that

Remember, this is our government at work.

Nothing is true until validated by comittee, after spending month reviewing data, and more months concocting 100+ page reports that distill down into 3 sentence of meaningful information. 

You should see the committee put together on whether GW uses correct "wiping" techniques after taking a dump.....

Add the civilian death toll figures into that and we are on our way.

That picture does nothing more than invoke an emotional response to a very complex and detailed issue.  The last thing we need is emotion being brought into this argument.  Then again, emotion based arguments is all you ever offer SLC.

What a cop out.  Give me a break.  The fact of the matter is that troops are dying, you don't see the caskets and the bodies torn apart by IEDs on the news - all we get are how many troops have died in a week or a month.  SLC's picture is a painful reminder at the real cost of this war beyond the billions of dollars - US lives.

I think we need MORE emotion when talking about Iraq and less political speak.  It'd be one thing if this was a war worth fighting, worth dying for, but we all know its not - to not admit that or face the reality of that, THAT is the last thing that we need!!!

Nonsense.

No shit...

[AxlsMainMan]

Renew the push to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict through a ?diplomatic offensive.?
Involve Syria and Iran in negotiations over Iraq?s future.

There's the problem right there...

This is clearly never going to happen since the Bush Regime "does not negotiate with terrorists, or those with terrorist ties, blah blah.

[Psychophobia]

What, 'policy in Iraq, not working'?? Gee, it's only what the rest of the world, plus half the US population has been saying for what, 3 years now?

[Verasa]

What is the solution then? anyone? It's like everything else we do, halfass this we halfass that. We either go ALL IN or we turnaround and go home cuz this isn't, hasn't and won't work

[Casey Shelton]

Two more years of this shit?

Don't we go to war only when we have to and then figure how to avoid war the next time.  Is war the answer for everything with this guy?  I wonder if his father is proud.  There's nothing but continued death over there.

Any why the fuck are gas prices going up again?  Stayed at just above $2 for while and the its up 30 cents in a week.

Because the Bush Regime and their oily contracts know they have everyone by the balls..

We need gas to get around, therefore we have to pay whatever unreal figure they come up with for that day.

"Unfortunately, the Iraq Study Group report does too little to change the flawed mind-set that led to the misguided war in Iraq. Maybe there are still people in Washington who need a study group to tell them that the policy in Iraq isn't working, but the American people are way ahead of this report.

While the report has regenerated a few good ideas, it doesn't adequately put Iraq in the context of a broader national security strategy. We need an Iraq policy that is guided by our top national security priority - defeating the terrorist network that attacked us on 9/11 and its allies. We can't continue to just look at Iraq in isolation. Unless we set a serious timetable for redeploying our troops from Iraq, we will be unable to effectively address these global threats. In the end, this report is a regrettable example of `official Washington' missing the point." - Russ Feingold

Yeah, spot on.  Misguided and jumped the gun. The world's a better place now that Suddam is locked up but that shit should have been a world decision.  We dont need to be the cops of the world. We invaded because of womd that did not exist. Oops.

Bandita, that was going to be my reply when I read the first post in this thread.   
word for word.

I gave facts for years and you told me I was a traitor.

Guess who turned out to be right about Iraq? (Hint: Not you).

You lost the last election and you have been proven 100% wrong on Iraq. All you have left now is going after me (I saw no mention of the article posted.)

Pathetic.
