We're never going to exit totally, in my opinion.
Oh, the horror of it all.
They should thank the swimmer for that.
We left per Kennedy and gave the prison back to the Iraqis. Now that the Democrats want the Iraqis to take charge, they cannot complain.
Don't forget, Saddam released about 50,000 hardened criminals just before we took control.
Very good point.
Sounds like a personal problem.
Doesn't really square with THIS post saying Abu Ghraib was empty, does it???

" Very good point."
Reported by the AP here on the FR as 100,000 hardened criminals. I just had to look it up.

I remember reading it. He knew he was done.
You mean....they actually 'want' the panties back on their heads? Geez. I wish they'd make up their feeble minds!
Do I have any pity now? Not on your life. The scenario is now turned back on them...and I'm not a bit sorry.
Sometimes this is the only way people can learn a lesson from life.
Maybe now when they think of Americans - they may have a different view point.
I'm having trouble working up any sympathy.

US Soldiers Shoot First,
No Questions Asked

BAGHDAD - His name was Ahmed Hameed and he was 36 years old. He had taken the wrong turning up to the checkpoint on the July 14 Bridge which spans the Tigris on the south-eastern edge of what used to be known in Baghdad as the Green Zone, but which has now been renamed the International Zone.
Now he lies in a body-bag a few yards away from the US army gun tower which opened fire on him as he tried to turn his moped around.
Soldiers from the US Airborne surround him, those at the back peering over the shoulders of the ones in front to get a better view as the bag is unzipped. In the tower, the heavy .240-calibre machine-gun hangs limply on its mount, pointing at the ground. The gunner is leaning on the parapet, looking out across the city.
-snip-
"Are you done here?" the US captain asks. "Can we open the checkpoint again?" Mahde nods. They can, he says. He has no authority over the US soldiers, but he will make a report.
He and Murphy start to walk back towards the police car. The US soldiers follow, grumbling among themselves. They do not understand what is happening. One can be heard complaining: "All the other bodies, they just put in the truck and took them away."
"The prisoners are TERRORISTS!"
Prove it. Am willing to bet those "insurgent sweeps" suck in a number of innocents. Sure THEIR support of this infant government - you know the one we've sacrificed billions of dollars and thousands of lives for - stays quite high after THIS experience (rolls eyes)
Okay - you're making your point. Don't be like a democRAT & just complain. You know - they always say they have a plan - but we never heard what the plan is!!
So- enlighten us!! What's YOUR plan?
"Prove it. Am willing to bet those "insurgent sweeps" suck in a number of innocents."

Sure, those poor "innocents" with a bomb in their cars.
I hope that Ted Kennedy has been alerted to this horror. Imagine cutting out the chicken in special prisoner diets! It's pretty darn brutal - inhuman, even. Oh well, I guess it's better than the Saddam-like dungeons of barbarism America ran.
Is anyone surprised? Many of the terrorists are responsible for the horrible deaths of dozens of their countrymen, gleefully using car bombs against children, attacking hospitals, beheading and torturing people.
Our only qualm should be that the Iraqi justice system hasn't been processing such villains fast enough. Their gallows are under-used. 27 hangings twice a week for a year would do much to improve Iraq in a single year.
They're probably cursing Ted Kennedy and Dick Durbin.
