Yes, and you have no justification for it.
Have you, or have you not, argued that US forces should be immediately removed from Iraq?
I've heard you INCESSANTLY discuss US casualities and how nothing is worthwhile related to Iraq, that would justify US casualities..
That's pretty "black and white", IMO..
Jesus weeps! The residents of Fallujah let their police get massacred by guerillas without warning despite the fact that the guerillas blockaded traffic
Carl... even Saddam couldn't fully control Fallujah.. It's a town that was a hotbed of corruption and smuggling, showing nothing but disdain for anyone outside trying to enforce their will upon the residents..
It's no surprise that they don't like the police.. They never have, unless they owned them..
Can you really say that in an American town you would be able to do this without SOMEONE calling up the police and warning them?
What part of our history would you care that draw the example from? Capone's Valentine's day massacre? The ongoing drug and gang wars in LA? Watts riots?
The law of the jungle is what is being enforced in most towns in Iraq.. With the government police and military trying to assert their will over the organized gangs and mobs who would like their own people to run things..
And do let me remind you that before the invasion, you didn't seem to care so much about unity.
That's BS!! If that were the case, Bush would never have even bothered to go to the UN in the first place.. He had all the authority he needed under UNSC 678 and 687, without even needing to get a unanimous vote on 1441.
It was FRANCE and RUSSIA who threatened to veto any UNSC votes to DIRECTLY SPECIFY military action as the definition of "severe consequences". THEY are the states that decided to defy the will of the majority of UNSC members last spring.. Bush had at least 9 members of the UNSC, A MAJORITY, winning to directly specify military action against Iraq, until France and Russia threatened to veto any such resolution..
9-6, Carl... France and Russia were in the minority of the UNSC.
Our troops are already beginning their pullout of Iraq and the place they're leaving is killing Iraqis faster than at any time since May.
But at least we're leaving them in a better situation to manage the security and political affairs for themselves. That's what will be important, giving the Iraqis sufficient time to create and/or reform the institutions of government necessary for stabilization.
As for killing Iraqis, this may sound callous, but I'd rather Islamic militants be waging war against other moderate muslims, than against Westerners. Only by this method will moderate muslims be required to recognize the militants as a tremendous threat that must be opposed and purged from their socieities, as well as their religion...
Bush is pulling out. Get used to it.
Then quit your B*tching!!
