is that I considered it inevitable that some of this would occur

Of course!!!

Have you noticed who is doing most of the dying...? Its those trying to improve the lot of Iraqis....Guardsman, police, contractors, etc.....(Iraqis and those trying to help Iraqis)

Naturally the animals we are fighting would step up their efforts to undermine the security and reconstruction of Iraq in advance of the scheduled elections of a new sovereign government........

It was to be expected....the question is...will we elect a President in November who will stay the course...or cut and run....that will be the ultimate parallel to Vietnam....

IN the last month it has become impossible for even the ideologically-driven neocon fringe to say that things are going well in Iraq -- your tune began to change as reflected in your July 29 post, but give us all a break from the spin and stop denying that you have consistently painted a picture of conditions in Iraq that is far rosier than the reality.
