It's just too bad that Democrats cannot celebrate this good news for Iraq and America.

How soon before the Retreat & Surrender Caucus retreats from calling for retreat and surrender?

The death rate is still higher than it was before we invaded, so what is there to squirm about, the US caused more deaths in Iraq in 6 years than Sadam in 30 years, so what is there to brag about by Bush, and what is there to squirm about by the Dems. The only thing that I see is that maybe the screw up can be resolved voluntarirly by Bush, because the Iraqi's figured out that the only way to get rid of his a$$ is to look peacefull for at least the moment.

Yeah, I wonder where Aidenag is now that the Surge he so gleefully bashed every time the press reported more soldiers killed during the first weeks now is proving highly successful??

They don't have to make it up. That's the really sad part. The money that has been squandered. The money that has been lost. The lack of political structure and infrastructure. The open-end occupation. There are PLENTY of problems with this occupation other than the number of deaths.

Murtha's announcement is creating much mirth. Daylight, and those Muslims who view the West as "Dar al-Harb", must be crying like a toddler not getting his way now. Love it, love it. Well, IF this keeps up, I wonder when the Hildabeast, and other Dems, will say they were ALWAYS for "Operation: Iraqi Freedom"?

If you are confined inside the Green Zone and going out to fight then normally you don't die, we don't even hear that so called terrorist are being killed either and also if the media don't report we will not hear anything.
(must be crying like a toddler not getting his way now.)
Whether we getting our way or not, you have been rejected and humiliated by the Iraqis.The only superpower which you like to call yourselves has been fighting an impoverished, sanction-imposed country Iraq for more than 6 years without a result. America has lost the war, it is not a victory.

This story is is found on the Netscape propeller.
Let's picture it another way. The US gave the iraqi government a bunch of money. Then someone went and found all those people who used to live in baghdad, at least we assume they did, and told them, "If you get on these buses and let the film crews show you returning to baghdad, we'll give each of you $750.
That's what really happened. Even the press secretary for the white house stuttered and stammered through the announcement and looked like he was really hoping that everyone saw this as proof of success in Iraq.
Are you buying the kool-aid?

This is not a "story". It is an anonymous blog post based on a story that has NO reference.
I have a challenge for you, FIND the REAL story that states ""If you get on these buses and let the film crews show you returning to baghdad, we'll give each of you $750"
Since you copied the post verbatim I assume you didn't read it, or you would have noticed that the line about the WH press secretary, "looked like he was really hoping". Call this a clue call this a red flag, but the WH press secretary, Dana Perino, is a SHE not a HE. It's kinda obvious.
You do know the WH press secretary, Dana Perino is a female, right?

Ha ha, commo! Thats pretty ding dang good!!
Im reminded of this movie we watched the other night. "A Beautiful Mind".
In it, they showed how John Nash's Schizophrenia caused him to see things that werent really there. He would actually have conversations with these images.
Thats kinda what youve done here!!
You create a image of a Dumb Democrat, then imagine him cheering for the insurgents and hopin for Americans to die. THEN after you created this image, you hold him up for all to see and ridikule him!!
Just liek some crazy Schizophrenic!!
Can you tell me please, is this all we Christian Conservatives have been left with after 7 years of GWs 'leadership'?
Dont we have ANYTHING positive to show - other than Bobos constant efferts to demonize the 200 MILLION Americans who think GWs 'leadership' has been nothin short of incompetent?

BoBo how would you relish being one of the FEWER deaths or wounded in Iraq to substantiate your leaders lunacy.
We have/are losing/lost in Iraq. What part of the actual equation are you failing to grasp. All wars have lulls and this Iraq war that is longer than WWII is no different.
There will be a civil war sooner or later so what in the hell have you and Bush accomplished other than more American deaths and wounded while our economy is tanking?

There is nothing positive about this war. Again. Even though deaths are down, what is our primary objective in Iraq. Setting up a millitary base? Setting up an embassy? Both of those things will be symbols of our occupation and continually attacked. The rate at which the deaths have occured may have slowed, but the bloodiness of those successful attacks has been huge. There is no political stake in this war.
And don't talk to me about "dems cutting running out on our troops" because you will all remember the quote of Cheney saying "You go to war with the army you have, not the army you want." That was his excuse for why parents of soldiers had to spend their own money to buy armor for their kids. Why soldiers were spending time welding armor to non-armored cars in order to save their lives.
That is what you call not supporting the troops. That is what you call treason.

I find it interesting that Congress, which is largely made up of both Dems and Repubs (with a few Independents), voted to send the troops in to Iraq when the 'voter was for the war' then when public opinion seemed to turn against the war a good size number of the esteemed Congressmen decided that the war was evil and 'seemed' to pander to that voter dissent by trying to cut funding to the troops in the field and therefore forcing a withdrawl to garner votes to keep their jobs.
In short all of our politicians are basically evil and self serving and will do whatever is necessary to keep their well paid jobs and pampered positions. Our leaders in DC, from the bottom to the top, had been advised by several world leaders and military experts that a war in Iraq would be long, devisive and costly but they pursure the war anyway against that advice.

icono: You're really missing the point that the evidence which was presented to Congress and on which they based their vote before the war was false and doctored.
It was such an overwhelming catalogue of sins that it seemed impossible to all normal-thinking that it could all be mistaken - and even worse much of it deliberately falsified.
Grounds for impeachment? You bet!

Insane Americans. Almost a million Iraqis dead, half the country is bombed and destroyed, over 2 million Iraqis displaced from their childhood homes, over 4 million have fled the country as refugees to Iran, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon.
Did any of these had anything to do with your 9/11.Or the phoney WMD and other weapons that turned out to be a lie.
Is this good news to rejoice? It is about time to put your heads in a toilet bowl and flush your warmongering ego!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pure nasty propaganda to insinuate that Democrats want the death counts in Iraq to stay at past levels. Really, think of what a sick mind it takes to think that way.
All of this news which is in large part the result of the Shia and Sunni retreating to their own enclaves should put even more pressure on the Iraqi's to get their political act together. Of course because their differences are mainly ancient and religious don't count on that anytime soon. Until that day our troops will continue to act as de facto babysitters in a still very dangerous land.

Such good news and not only are deaths down but we're beginning to send troops back home. One brigade is on the way back. I dont't think it has anything to do with the fact that were now paying the Sunnis and Shiites not to kill each other and the troops have to come home because our military is stretched so thin we have no units fit to replace the ones that have to come back because their mandated extended tour of duty time is up. It must be because of "the surge".

Oh, It MUST be~!!! - it HAS to be - because if it isn't, the entire rationale and process of (kaff!) Operation "Iraqi Freedom" comes apart at the seams.
It does anyway. Basra quieted down as soon the British troops pulled out... Could there be some kind of message in that from the Iraqi people - or are our faux leaders and faux media the real authority on how Iraqis view occupation?
It's still all about oil and pipeline politics folks... The political side of things is no more than a corresponding priority slated towards American economic hegemony in Iraq and other vulnerable parts of the globe, I might add.

Regardless of whether we should have gone in, when going in we should have used the POWELL DOCTRINE, ie. shock and awe. I said long ago that a true surge would make the difference, its only sad that our leaders didn't have a clue, unless there was some other agenda I don't have a clue about.

One plusible hidden agenda repeats earlier British colonial strategy - gunboart diplomacy - and that is to deliberately set up conditions that would trigger factional infighting and civil war - which was the outcome in India and Africa once the Brits arrived. The setting about of this strategy was altogether intelligently planned, deliberately executed and as utterly genocidal yesterday as it is today. Same game - different players...

---NEWSFLASH---
According to recent polls taken by somebody somewhere, 78.3% of all off the cuff or unsubstantiated statistics are made up or blatantly false.
BTW when you post statistics give references.
