We HAVE BEEN TRYING TO "neutralize the propogators" FOR TWO YEARS... and they are getting STRONGER.

Nonsense. The insurgents movement is a losing proposition. The likelihood that they are stronger than a US fund and trained Iraqi civil defense force is ridiculous. Notice how they haven't broken into any prisons to free prisoners, overtaken any city governments, etc. You are confusing the ability to plant a roadside bomb with the ability to take over a population. They can terrorize, but they can't lead.


From day one, the hawks have told the rest of us how wrong our view is; that what we see and hear is not real. The truth is that you all have been wrong from before the very first shot had been fired.

It's not fucking working, get it through your thick skull.

90% of "it" is finished. Saddam's regime is removed, and the opportunity to build a civil, tolerant society is in front of the Iraqi population. Again, you are confusing an insurgent's bomb with defeat.


Nonsense. Ten percent is done.......the rest has just begun.

There are centuries old religious and ethnic forces at work here, there is money from the second largest oil reserve in the world to foster competition and corruption, there is no central authority, there is no infrastructure, there is no foundation to build cooperation. All there is is civil war.

When there are militias fighting militias, you will be correct. All you have now are guerilla thugs killing innocent people. That's not civil war.


Wrong. There are militias fighting militias.

My one sentence sums up what now needs to be done. The solution is of course to neutralize the propogators of the violence, and the more home grown the neutralizing force, the better. This is the goal of the coalition and 99% of Iraqis, why do you seem to think it cannot be accomplished?

Because the Iraqis who are being trained don't seem to really want to fight for freedom. Meanwhile, their corruption and incompetence grows with each passing day.
