| b9keith ::: Favorites 2007-11-27 08:37:27 Reply to this: Our republic is a plutocracy that misleads the masses into thinking a democracy exists when the elections are fraudulent, the people are deceived by mockingbird mass media and threatened into compliance by armed authorities who tax the people while calling it security, similar to protection given by organized crime and local gangs using extortion. Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich in 2008 or suffer the consequences. __________________________________________________ | |

Try the terms, you should find some interesting results: Iraqi poll, Iraq Audit, Funds Iraq, Success Iraq, Iraqi blog, etc. Tell me, if you are presently so constrained then why should I trust your assessment, being that you do not have the time to put in on research yourself? __________________________________________________ | |
| acseeley ::: Favorites 2007-09-26 00:12:59 Iraqanalysis*org has links to quite a few if not all of the information you could ever want to determine the climate in Iraq, many broken down into Sheiite, Kurd, and Sunni, to suit your taste for who is doing the talking. I especially like the Brookings Iraq Index, go ahead and pull it up to get an "at a glance look" since you are playing catch up. __________________________________________________ | |
| acseeley ::: Favorites 2007-09-26 00:10:45 I follow the polls CONTINUALLY. I follow the reports from various orginizations CONTINUALLY. There are undeniable trends that point to the validity of said polls, reports, audits, & blogs of average Iraqis. If you weren't being so stubborn you would be able to do a search on recent polls, reports, etc. and see for yourself that the trend is getting continually worse in the vast majority of them. __________________________________________________ | |
| acseeley ::: Favorites 2007-09-26 00:05:35 Let's mull them over and see how many were found to be oversold by the administration. Let's look at the statements made by Tenet & Drumheller about the administration ignoring reports contrary to their agenda of war in their process of overselling. For goodness sake, use some hindsight here. __________________________________________________ | |
| acseeley ::: Favorites 2007-09-26 00:02:01 I am perfectly capable of doing my own research and coming to my own conclusions on Iraq. You may need Hannity, Rush, or Bush to tell you how to think, but people like myself are willing to put in the effort to search for answers instead of jumping on a bandwagon because your favorite politician, party leader, or pundit made a statement. __________________________________________________ | |
| acseeley ::: Favorites 2007-09-26 00:00:43 "subjugate US security interests to the UN" This is laughable, as Iraq had no capability to harm the US in any manner, therefore there was no reason for us to attack without the approval of the UN. You keep trying to link Iraq to 9/11 and there are official reports to contradict that assessment. Let's also review those 23 reasons now and see how many are valid for our continued involvement. __________________________________________________ | |
| acseeley ::: Favorites 2007-09-25 23:58:32 I guess you missed all the GAO audits (GAO*gov), the weekly status reports (state*gov/p/nea/rls/rpt/iraqstatus), The ISG report (usip*org/isg/iraq_study_group_report/report/1206/index.html), etc.. All the reports out of Iraq are tales of sub par decision making, corruption, wasted funds, and missed objectives. I don't need to cherry pick when all the cherries are rotten. __________________________________________________ | |
| acseeley ::: Favorites 2007-09-25 23:58:26 Since they participated so willingly and in such numbers, why do you conclude that they would be unable to handle their civil war if we begin a phased withdrawal? That added incentve of knowing it is in their hands to succeed or fail will result in a more grassroots effort among the people to make it work. I believe they will step up and ,though it will not be a smooth process, continue to form their own form of homegrown government. __________________________________________________ | |
| zzsugarbear ::: Favorites 2007-09-25 19:08:40 There is no administration, especially in war that doesn't have shortcomings and that doesn't make mistakes. What I see is exclusive cherry picking of negatives to justify a position against Bush at any cost. __________________________________________________ | |

| zzsugarbear ::: Favorites 2007-09-25 19:05:26 Depends on who is doing the talking. Some who have power agendas such as the Batthists and Sadr Militia members have wanted the U.S. out. Ordinary citizens who remain just want peace. I would accept a request by the Iraqi elected officials or a legitimate referendum. But polls? Like the polls that insisted John Kerry was winning by a landslide? Please. And old data cannot be used. The situation on the ground has changed dramitally this year. __________________________________________________ | |
| zzsugarbear ::: Favorites 2007-09-25 18:59:53 It was about the 17 violations of UN resolutions over 12 years by a madman who kicked out UNESCO/AIEA (verifying WMD destruction per the cease fire)- quite a period of diplomacy. But compromised UN SC members accepting billions in Saddam's bribes reneged on any action, abdicating authority. To subjugate US security interests to the UN was unthinkable. Congress passed a joint resolution on Iraq - 23 reasons for war. "Rush to war"? It was one of the most overdue military actions in history. __________________________________________________ | |
| zzsugarbear ::: Favorites 2007-09-25 18:40:39 Providing an opportunity for Iraqis to elect a goverment of the people's choice was hardly forced, evidenced by participation of millions of Iraqis with purple thumbs voting under threats and serious risk of their lives. I'll agree that any democracy in a Muslim country will not operate like a Western democracy. As always, they have to want it badly enough to overcome the divisions. __________________________________________________ | |
