Dec. 1, 2007, 11:54 p.m.White flag Harry et al just can't change. They are looking for reasons to cut the budget for the troops. Good news in one area means they will try and find bad news somewhere else even if they have to make it up.

Dec. 2, 2007, 1:13 a.m.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.

Dec. 2, 2007, 3:58 a.m.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?

Dec. 2, 2007, 2:23 p.m.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?

Dec. 2, 2007, 3:01 p.m.its stupid to think that anyone is taking this as anything but good news.
bad news is that 2007 already passed 2006 in numbers of iraqi civilian casualties.

Dec. 2, 2007, 4:17 p.m.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.

Dec. 2, 2007, 4:37 p.m.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.

Dec. 2, 2007, 5:34 p.m.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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dec. 2, 2007, 6:17 p.m.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.

Dec. 2, 2007, 7:11 p.m.Great news. So if all is so great and the troops are already coming home why did Bush veto the funding bill?

Dec. 2, 2007, 9:11 p.m.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".

Dec. 2, 2007, 9:29 p.m.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.

Dec. 2, 2007, 10:23 p.m.---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.
