I thought the surge was working?



Wait - when generals, political pundits, 240 and others here said that increasing troop numbers would only give more sitting targets to the insurgents - were they actually RIGHT?

IMO, leave the cities (where the bloodshed is) to the iraqi police.

Pull the US forces to the borders, bases, and oil pipelines.

It must be tough to have a loved one over there. All of us sitting here in our safe offices or homes pontificating on War without having any personal stake in it must piss people like you off that have family members in Iraq. I can't even imagine how much this War would disturb me if my brother were over there.

‘Black Hawk’ Troops Persist in Bringing Peace to Haifa Street
Attacks on coalition forces in area drop more than 50 percent.

Now everywhere the soldiers go, they are greeted like old acquaintances. The people in the community whom Arthur and his comrades visit, speak freely to them and often provide an inside look into what's really happening there.

John McCain's farce errrrr "trip" should've opened many eyes to the real danger in Iraq. 

The surge is a PR stunt. At the new "surge peak," we will still have 100,000 LESS GI's in theater than in 2004.

This war is a disaster, and humanly disgraceful.

why do you post this?

I shall respond with a tu quoque: Why do you care? 

Do you find this reminder of the brother and sister troops being processed through the meatgrinder of your indifferent President's imperial ambitions upsetting in some way?

If so, take it up with him. If I was running the show, they never would have sent into that hell in the first place.

You weren't man enough to persevere until victory so your ass got out...good riddance....at least you realized when you couldn't hack any more, Guess what there are 100 more medics to take your spot...

If you guys were as clever about your warmongering as you are with your insults, you might not be getting your asses kicked over there.

if you would stop wishing for America's defeat you would be able to see we aren't losing...I don't know about you but I don't call 1 death for every 20 of theirs as losing

For people with barely any electricity using watering cans and bags of fertilizer fighting a military with a half-trillion dollar annual budget, I'd say that's kicking your ass, chief.

And guess what? There's way more than 20 times as many Arabs as coalition troops out there.

if you had any idea about warfare i would engage you in a debate about this, but since all of your knowledge comes from MASH reruns...

There's something we should remember here or at least acknowledge which is the distinction between the US military fighting a "army" vs. fighting an insurgency.

They are 2 very different things.

If we were fighting an "army" the war would have ended long ago, about 1 month after it started.  But we are not fighting an army we are waging a counter insurgency.  Our great military isn't designed for that.  What we should do is hand the whole thing over to Blackwater.  They are subject to any laws.

So comparing our half trillion annual budget to people shitting in cans isn't realistic.

That's unfair.

You think Big_Mal is the only one here with family over there?
...or the only one on GetBig who cares that military personnel are dying over there?
