So when will you ever condemn the terrorist and insurgents for their attrocities and infractions of the "rules of engagement". You hold the U.S. to a standard, but make exuses for the enemy... which tells me that you stand up for the enemy.

And the terrorists are increasingly being seen as "a force operating" inside "the law" when they blow up innocent civilians?

You are a pathetic apologist, Bahu - which qualifies you for a job with just about any major paper in the US in about 2 minutes flat, especially the NYT. If the sky ain't falling, the papers ain't selling, so what do the papers tell us, ad nauseam? Surprise!... the sky is falling.

What you really meant to say was this is 100% true.



Hah, that's a laugh. Grill the good guys for bending the rules a bit but praise the criminals sticking to their inhumane ways. And you don't side with terrorist?



Sure, and take a current mega sized mess and turn it into the Mother Of All Messes. then we will never hear the end of your crying.



Just as often. For a moment there I could have sworn you were implying that American soldiers kill as many innocent civilians as these terrorist do. Wow, I was completely unaware we were shooting at civilians in the hopes of killing the hidden terrorist amongst them. Maybe we were dumb enough to wait this long to have done it. We would have been done already. Maybe if we accept to be just as bad as the terrorist, Bahu would give us a break and side with us for once.

Excuse me, but who exactly came down with a letter from G-d and established that, just by definition apparently, Iraq was NOT a mega sized mess before the invasion?

Iraq under Saddam:

Note the fake American shops like Miran burgers. These people love everything America.

Look at those pictures and tell me again about the mess.

And any left-winger who can look at what Saddam did to the Kurds and what Kurdistan looks line now and is able to tell me again how America created a mess must feel weird.

The invasion has given those parts of Iraq that want peace (Kurdistan) a chance to become rich and civilised and it has transformed the rest of the country from a place that needed mass graves to cope with the deaths to a place that journalists can apparently report negative things about without dying.

The difference between George Bush and a left-winger is that George Bush can look at pictures of the gas attacks and today's Kurdistan and feel good about the changes his invasion brought.

What can left-wingers be proud of? Their alliance with France and Russia and the other countries who sold Saddam the weapons he used against Iranians, Kurds, Shi'ites, and Kuwaitis? Their demands that Saddam be allowed to continue slaughter his people? What exactly is so great about pacifism, considering the results?

Leaving Iraq to the terrorists would be just as morally wrong as leaving Iraq to Saddam.

And it is being proposed by the same people who proposed leaving Iraq to butcher of Baghdad.

What is it with those people's fascination with denying Iraqis freedom and security?

See, you consider the US surrendering in Iraq to be "the simple solution", but you don't say that about Iran, Syria, Al Qaeda, The Taliban or any of the factions fighting against us.

Again, you take sides. Which is your right, of course, but at least have the courage of your convictions to stand admit it.

See, you consider the US surrendering in Iraq to be "the simple solution",

Don't forget that for many people in Iraq it would also be the final solution.
