THE US, THE UN AND IRAQ, ELEVENTH THREAD

ican, my solution begins with the prosecution of Bushie and Blair for crimes against humanity. Malarky is believing Bushie ever had winning in mind. Continuous war is all he ever wanted.

Malarkey! Your proposed solution is not a solution of the problem: helping the Iraqi people and their government defend themselves against the suicidal mass murderers in their midsts.

Besides, Bush and Blair did not commit crimes against humanity when they authorized efforts to help the Iraqi people and their government defend themselves against the suicidal mass murderers in their midsts.

This is worse than malarkey--this is a p^6 = pathetic paranoid's pernicious puddle of putrid puke:
"Malarky is believing Bushie ever had winning in mind. Continuous war is all he ever wanted."

Bush may not be competent to successfully solve this problem, but he is honestly trying to solve it.

We must win and succeed in Iraq, because we Americans will suffer significant losses of our freedoms, if we do not win and succeed in Iraq."
I disagree with your above observation....

A qualified Muslim has this.

Stuck in the Iraq Loop
We have achieved some security in Iraq. But we have not built a sustainable security architecture.

"One year into the surge, five years into the war, those metrics have not improved. That's why American troops remain stuck "in the loop" in Iraq."

Please forbear/excuse me.
Individual emotions are irrelevant.
Institutionalized barbarism prevails.
Both Blueflame and my poor self will never sleep until the the criminals are out of the lime light.

During this afternoon's Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) forced Ambassador Ryan Crocker to acknowledge that al Qaeda in the Afghanistan/Pakistan region poses a larger threat than al Qaeda in Iraq:

SEN. BIDEN: Mr. Ambassador, is Al Qaeda a greater threat to US interests in Iraq, or in the Afghan-Pakistan border region? … Which would you pick, Mr. Ambassador?

AMB. CROCKER: I would therefore pick Al Qaeda in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border area.

Some of Menendez's figures are downright infuriating. This is what $25 billion has gotten us:

- 43% of population lives in absolute poverty
- prior to war 19% of children suffered malnutrition; today 28%
- last year 75% elementary-aged kids went to school; now 30%
- prior to war 50% lacked access to clean water; now 70%
- only 50 of 142 primary health care centes are open to public

Of course, the al-Qaeda suicidal mass murderers in the Afghanistan-Pakistaan area are now the greater threat, since the surge has driven so many of them out of Iraq, or killed so many of them in Iraq.
