Are you talking about the 2 Million who left the country to keep alive or the other 2 Million that had to leave their homes inside Iraq and are now refugees in their own country or are you talking about those left in Baghdad that live in now walled neighborhoods afraid to leave the walled off enclaves?

I'm talking about the fact that IP forces are having to kick squatters out of the homes of returning refugees as they return and get their lives back to normal. This is one of the jobs IP are spending more time on than any other. Right now.

Or maybe you are talking about those 100,000 Awakening Sunnis paid $300 a month by us to keep them from killing us who now spend their days manning checkpoints to keep Iraqis from killing Iraqis.

So FREAKING WHAT? (The number is more like 50,000, but whatever). And they are being integrated, albeit slowly, into IP, and transitioning to Iraqi payroll. What is your complaint?

Or maybe you are talking about the Maliki Government Shia military that we have armed and trained that is now arresting and probably killing Awakening Sunnis that we are paying.

What? You're just making shit up. Shia military are arresting or killing Sunnis.

Oh yeah, life for those Iraqis not killed, maimed or jailed in the last 6 years is really normal when they have electricity, water or sewers that used to work.

The electricity, water and sewer works better in most areas today than it did before the war.

You are so full of BS.

No. I just get my news from someone who actually knows what is going on there, rather than from the NYT and TV news.

You're one of the idiots who doesn't have any idea what is going on in Iraq and run off at the mouth the BS you hear on the DailyKos. Don't be such an idiot.
