Re: Look what’s been happening while we were bringing Democracy to Iraq.

surely you can name one thing they have done that has affected the outcome on the ground in Iraq.

Do you mean something Besides Demoralizing Our Troops,+ Emboldening the Enemy,..??..??....

Who disbanded the Iraqi military?

Sadam's Army was in fact Disbanded,.....
Now there's the forming of an Iraqi Army,...... That's how it's Done.....
When We defeated the Germans,.....
The German Army was also Disbanded,+ Reformed to the Army it still is today,.....
Correct,..??....

Who was in charge of funds to rebuild Iraq that came up missing?

That would be the new Iraqi Government.........

Who was responsible for the security of Iraq once Baghdad fell?

That would be the Coalition Forces.......
Atleast until the Iraqis are capable to handle it on their own........

Who told us the Mission was accomplished?

That would be Our President,......
Btw,...... That particular Mission was in Fact Accomplished...........

You seem to have a problem understanding the difference between a Mission,+ a War.......
No Surprize there.........

Who said the terrorists are in their last throes?

And You think they're Not,..??..??.....

Who told the terrorists to "Bring it on?"

Does this question mean that You would rather be Fighting on the streets of New York,..??..??.....
Instead of the streets of Bagdad,..??..??........

The whole Western World knew Afghanistan was the pivot in this terrorism thing.

Thats why they all sent forces, formed a united front, and defeated the Taliban, on the battlefield, but, they knew they also had to rid society of its influence, and re-build the place and turn it in to a democratic fortress.

Then, one third of the way thru the operaton, the main force took off, crippling the whole darned operation.

It was the one country extremist Muslins actually had complete control over allowing them freedom to plan, organise,finance, train, ....do anything they liked.

Now you know why one heck of a lot of Western Countries are not with you in Iraq.

I guess I'm too dense to understand this post Phil. Are you sayin' we, (USA), cut and run from Afganistan? That is very differerent then my understanding as we still have US forces there, (at least that's what I thought I've read n' seen from the MSM). As to your point that Afganistan is where the "pivot" is. Hmmmm. I think I've read that Islamic terrorism is all over most of the world, so if we coulda pushed a button and wiped every living thing in Afganistan out on 9/12/2001 would we all be safe now? What are you recommending: 500,000 US troops for that worthless place? For what reason? Your post does not make sense to me. Respectfully JR

The neo-cons are scrambling to figure out how to blame someone other than themselves for the collossal mess they have got us into. Good Luck!

If we have any hope in a positive outcome in the Middle East, we better do two things:

1. Send an envoy to Iran, find out what they want, and cut a deal. Iran is the only one that has any significant clout in the region.

2. Find an alternative to oil, develop it and market it worldwide, and quit financing all this mischief--Force them to develop their economies in the mid east.

Yah, Jus' like I figured. The 19 Saracens that did dirty deeds on 9/11 was the fault of the NEOCONS, (BTW Neocons = Boogyman). Let's learn from the French n' surrender to IRAN, ('course that means prayin' ta Mecca 5 time o' day, n' they still might blow ya up 'cause yer not Muslim enough n' all)! N' I believe in magic 'cause I'm not into those old fashoned religions. My GOD: BIG GOVERNMENT can force us to spend ten times the $ for some type o' funky energy, n' let China buy all the oil real cheap 'cus ol' Murky n' people like 'em are all in jail for refusin' ta destroy their motors n' SUVs n' all. :} JR
