re: Imagine this...our military has to plan two missions each time, one being the real mission, kept secret until deployment day, and the other for iraqi army consumption until then. Even with this ploy, the real mission is inevitably compromised and leaked. The US army has to confiscate cell phones to keep the broadly infiltrated iraqi army from calling the bad guys just before a raid.

I don't know how those guys can "work" in those conditions. Good guys, bas guys what's the difference?

re: It's a mess beyond description. And a hopeless one at that...our guys are dying for nothing out there. Society is so badly compromised that democracy is a silly bush dream.

And it will continue to get worse. We're just dragging this out because our ego can't suffer to lose a war. It's inevitable, yet kids die everyday to protect our "national pride". Probably 2 more years of this then another year of a gradual withdrawal.

"our guys are dying for nothing out there"

Our guys are dying for the pride of the chimp Caesar. So that he won't have to "lose" the Iraq war, but will leave that to his successor. Very much like Johnson and Vietnam.
