The democrats defunded Viet Nam to cause our loss in Viet Nam. Now this principle is in effect to lose the gains of our brave men and loss of our blood, sweat and tears.

“The government announced that it would not attack Fallujah for now in order to minimize civilian casualties. At least one source in Iraq, however, reported that government forces have low morale because they lack the supplies and equipment to mount an operation that has any prospect of success.”

Now just WHOM would be benefited by the release of such a statement?

I called this 12 years ago when we went into that sh#thole. The first democrat was going to bail out and Iraq was going to degenerate into a 3 sided civil war.

We have traitors in the congress, executive and judicial branch that are part of the democrat socialist peoples party that have and are destroying our country.

My son is never going to give his life for the useless distractions the power brokers have given us. Prepare for China to start a rumble and then watch as we get pulled into that morass in order to get rid of men that are useless eaters by the Chinese and the cowards here in power.

voting is useless now that the fix is in for illegals, unions and parasites to take over the polls. It doesn't even matter how you vote unless you COUNT the votes.

There was a segment on the news last night with an interview with a tribal leader in Fallujah. His message was for the West to stay out of Fallujah and the tribal leaders would take care of any AlQaeda still in the city.

Why should we be upset if tribal leaders take over Fallujah, get rid of AlQaeda, and keep it from erupting into civil war? We shouldn't have gone into Iraq to begin with.

The situation in Iraq is sorta weird, on all levels. I mean, Al Queda isn’t a “Nation” so.........they take these towns, what are they going to do? Try to set up a new country or something? If they did, would they try to join the UN? Do they control an airport or a radio station or a Post Office or a telephone exchange? I think that for a group to establish their own country they’d have to have those things at a mere minimum. You can’t be your own country without your own Country Code for telephone calls and your own Zip code for postal purposes and you have to have an airport. My guess is that, as well, they’d need get their own IP address for Internet. Sounds to me like they haven’t thought this all through.

I am heartbroken for those who suffered and sacrificed in Iraq. Yes, the ‘leaders’ we now have are more comfortable with us losing Militarily. It proves, to the Obamabots, that our Military is a waste of money.

Well we did go in and it worked out well. That arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania turned the success around into a failure

“al Qaeda” already overplayed its hand in Fallujah a decade ago, and created blood feuds that haven’t been settled.

I suggest they left because anyone who isn’t from around those parts still has to face tribal chiefs with old scores to settle for butchered raped and robbed families and tribsemen.

One thing our military did was to get the offended tribes to cooperate with us and drive out the psychos out- now they know it can be done. Please keep glory hog John McCain home and let them take care of their own bidness.

Yes, this was a foolish endeavor from the start. Bush and others who pushed for this war are more to blame than anyone. What did they think would happen? Anyone familiar with history would have known this would turn into a disaster.

Nothing of benefit to our country has been accomplished. In fact, the place is worse than it was under Saddam. Christians have been chased out or killed, and Maliki is just as much a tyrant as Saddam was, plus he’s a tyrant who embraces Iran.

If only I could say a few choice words to the cheerleaders for this war like Wolfowitz, Perle, Feith, Frum, Condi Rice, and Cheney. Our people were sent to suffer and die for the whims of a bunch of policy wonks who thought they could remake the world.

Saudi Arabians, with some measure of Saudi government assistance, attack the hell out of us on 9-11...so of course we had to invade Iraq.

Thousands of U.S. soldiers dead for zip, nada - but hey at least stuttering dog-painter George Jr. gets to pick up post-war awards from Saudi “royals”.

My sentiments exactly. I am so heartbroken for the troops and their families who have sacrficed so much for idiot politicians who treat them like pawns. I cannot imagine losing a son or daughter to this travesty.
