#1 I set let them suffer until they come crying to us to save them from the mullahs and terrorists.

#3 I guess opening a bar with mud wrestling is right out then, eh? Likewise the pork processing plant?

Darn.

Shouldn't take these sorry, fun-hating bastards long to clear out anybody with a lick of sense, after which we can just raze the whole place.

#4 Be very careful about what you wish for because someday you may get it.

#6 you'd rather have more Iraqis dead than living temporarily in flux, huh, Antisemite? Your blathering is tiresome, your logic undiscernible, you are truly a troll.

#8 I used to write that troll off as a naive kumbaya singer, but she continualy exposes herself as truly stupid. Maybe I should change my opinion on the matter.

#10 Who got rid of the Taliban in the first place, Antisemite? You were in favor of that one, right?

I am looking forward to your words of support when the US flattens Fallujah and then Tehran.

#11 not sure the veracity of this site, but check out the counterpoint to above:

Marine POV of Fallujah..

#12 actually, I was off the mark on Anti-semite in rereading her comment, she was just being truthful: "...Hi reap, this is Sow"

#13 Strategypage has a different take than Geostrategy-Direct. Then again, the latter is a 'professional' outfit, while the former merely has a lot of connections to troops in the field.

Your post of the link to the Marine point of view is really good. Thank you. It is interesting that the best reporting of the on the ground reality has not been from the press or embedded reporters, it has been from the marines and soldiers themselves.

#15 Neat Link A5131. Reads like the real thing to me. So okay fine, the WoT is best fought in the dust of Iraq. It is a good thing.

#16 Pappy, the Take link confirms what Lt Suits said on his radio interview a few days ago.

#18 Antiwar, are you delusional or just praying for the bad guys to win so you won't have to admit you're a babbling moron?

#19 Has anyone seen the latest National Geographic.
A pretty good magazine right, it's got a good reputation right.
Iraqi Shiia under Saddam 5 to 7 million people murdered!!!

What a complete idiot this thing called "antiwar" is.
How do idiots like this live with themselves?
Is this the same person who says "partial birth abortion" is ok, but also say's smoking a cigarette on the beach should be outlawed?!?!?

These people make me so very very sick, the left is a sickness that must be crushed to be cured!be crushed to be cured!

#20 LHR,
I think that 5-7 million "disappeared" number in the Nat Geo article is misleading. The number includes 4-5 million exiles. The best guesstimate I have seen is 1-1.5 million dead during Saddam's reign, still a very substantial portion of the population.

#21 1-1.5 million dead during Saddam's reign

And yet, it seems, they have very short memories.

#23 Pappy, the Take link confirms what Lt Suits said on his radio interview a few days ago.

I've heard a lot good about him. BTW, Austin Bay, who contributes to Strategypage, is either in or on his way to the region.
