Good. Now let them step up to the plate and take care of their own damn problems.
''The presence of US troops on Iraqi soil gives a pretext to those who would adopt violence,' he said.''
Precisely - and a tragic paradox it was. US troops could have been out of country much sooner, had not so many Iraqis taken up arms under the self-fulfilling mantra of 'Occupiers!'. (motivated in many cases by pure religious bigotry)
Excuse me but I was under the impression Bush sent the troops to solve our problems ,remember Al Quaida and the nowhere to be found WMD ?
So mow suddenly it became their problem.When did that happen in neoconland,I must have missed something .Trying to rewrite history again ?
says :Iraqis taken up arms under the self-fulfilling mantra of 'Occupiers!'. (motivated in many cases by pure religious bigotry)
There we have it again ,I must have dozed of for a minute and missed history in the making.Iraq was a secular state before the invasion,the occupation has strengthened the religious forces since then.Yet nowhere in the article it is stated that religion is the cause of this joy coming with the end of military occupation of the cities.Having trouble understanding reality ?Then blame it all on 'religious bigotry ' or islam as usual .Another attempt to rewrite history by a simpleton.
Too bad we can't rewrite history without so much as the name of Bush in the mix.
Ben you little ass, what did you think would happen when we go to war, a country has been freed by the blood of Americans just like Germany and Japan. But like all liberal scum you always cry at the price without paying anything. You scumbags disgust me.
this is the goose that laid the golden egg - LOL
we rid the country of their dictator and got rid of a big share of the insurgents, so now they can take it from here. If they can't, then so be it. I don't agree that we should have been in Iraq to begin with, but our leader and his cohorts deemed it necessary for the illusive WMD's. But we were, and the US has tried to help build the country up again. Now, it's up to the Iraqi's from here on out.
It is a shame you didn't spend more time reading my post and trying to understand it ... before staggering off into your rambling reply.
