Here's a little good news to bring a ray of hope to the doom and gloom that so many enjoy to talk about: Al-Qaeda’s operational ability has been reduced to 94% of it's starting capacity. Whereas Al-Qaeda could claim 334 attacks / month just a year and a half ago, they are reduced to 16 attacks / month.

The repetition crowd only have repetition. They chant "We are losing in Iraq", while the facts continue to support the assertion that we are winning in Iraq.

The only reason that they're even in Iraq is because the US destabilized the country by invading it. Sad that so many people overlook this fact.

How can neocons scream about Al qaeda and terrorism in one breath, while demanding our civil liberties, but in the next breath present information like this?


Seems like a Contradiction to me.


If we're "winning", why all the ninnying fearmonger tactics? However, it's not that we're not beating Al Qaeda in Iraq, because Al Qaeda wasn't there until we were, Saddam would have squashed them as a threat to his power.
What we are losing in Iraq, is control, an all out civil war has been brewing for awhile and all we're doing is containing that, you know, by paying Sunni's not to fight and trying to lessen the power base that Sadr has, (which has failed miserably by the way), that sort of thing. We can only contain it for so long and then who are you going to blame for our men and women being caught in the middle?

I don't want to hear Liberals, but I don't want to hear Conservatives either, it's the globalists on both sides of the aisle that have caused this, Bush Co. and his complicit Neocons on one side and the fake Libs who pretend at providing opposition to Bush while voting to fund this demon to the teeth.

Lord forbid, the Sunni's and Shi'ite's ever come to the realization that they will never get to rule their nations as long as we're there, because I don't think we, or the world at large,is prepared for a united Islam.

So the murder of 300,000 of his own people didn't warrant Saddam being removed from power?

Did his sons love of kidnapping and rape warrant anything?

Did his sons love of torture warrant any action?

You want to see what real torture looks like? Not that Abu Ghraib stuff, but the real thing? Check this out: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1136582/posts

That's what so many of you wish was still going on in Iraq, because if we hadn't invaded, it would still be going on.

How sick is a society that when someone saves a people from a infanticidal maniac, that some people actually complain? How sick is that? That's just twisted and sick beyond belief in my mind. Here's some dead kids, murdered by Saddam: http://www.republicanyouth.net/saddambodycount/Saddam-Chmical-Victims-09.jpg here's some more: http://www.bobbyshred.com/images/Kurds.jpg

When the US has killed children in Iraq, it has been accidental or the children were used as shields by terrorists. The Haditha incident has seen 5 of the 8 involved have all charges dropped. The other three will be found innocent when they come to trial. Why? Because they went by the book and did exactly the right thing. The terrorists used families as human shields and when a group of marines are standing in a smoke filled room and hear a gun racked, their only choice is to fire to save their own lives. It's sad, but they were backed into a corner and had no choice.

How does one remain in power? If the boogie man is gone people might return to thinking for themselves

That's not true in the least. The 9/11 commision confirmed that Iraq had operational ties with Al Qaeda. The 9/11 confirmed that Saddam was training Al Qaeda operatives. The fact that years later people are still repeating the same disproven claims is astounding.

Why is that necessarily a bad thing? Wouldn't you rather them be in Iraq then America?

I think almost everyone acknowledges that fact. What's really sad is everyone thinks that all problems would be solved by us pulling out of the country.

I do agree that the fight with Al Queada has little to do with our fight in Iraq. But i also say that we are winning in Iraq, seeming how that's what the soldiers on the ground are saying. But some people fail to see that the soldiers that are fighting know better than CNN. They think that soldiers are brainwashed, and have too small a picture of whats happening to know whether or not they are succeeding. Some people can be quite ridiculous.

Anyway, good to hear of our success Spider. This is good news.

When George Bush was elected the first time...nobody had even heard of Al Qaeda. You guys are truely intellectually bankrupt. You will say anything to try to get a punch it at your opponents. Is a democrat win really that much more important than your country? That's very sad.

You are wrong. Al Qaeda's top commanders have told their members that the fight is in Iraq. Their main point of operations is in Iraq. Iraq is the center of Islamic terrorism in the world today. That fact isn't in question in the least.

The same 9/11 commission that has been revealed to have been in daily contact with the Bushies, between Zeilikow and Karl Rove? The same 9/11 commission report that has come out now and admitted that the bush white house and certain elements inside the intelligence agencies were destroying evidence? The same 9/11 commission that didn't so much as even mention the 3rd building that went down that day, Building 7?

Yeah, I'll be taking everything else they said as the Gospel.

If nobody had heard of Al Qaeda before George Bush, then they need to read a frickin paper. WTC bombing in 93 and the USS Cole were widely disseminated to be Al Qaeda.

In fact the Neocons Boogey man himself, Bin Laden has stated that he's happy we're in Iraq, it's so much easier to organize and target us over there.

You are too funny. I am not even a democrat, but keep name calling, and retain your position on the pedestal that you created for yourself.

You know, I refuse to argue with a conspiracy nut. Anything I say will just be twisted into part of the conspiracy. Not worth my time.

You are too funny, I don't believe that you aren't a democrat. Maybe...just maybe you are green party or some other strange third party. But there was no boogy man when GWB was elected the first time, so why would he have needed to create a boogyman? <insert conspiracy theory here>

Why do I hear a cuckcoo clock going off?

Tell me, is Bin Laden on Bushes payroll? Why would he work with someone who has put a huge price on his head and caused millions of Americans to hate him? <insert crazy conspiracy theory here>

Dude seriously, you can have your thread. I don't give two ****z what party affiliation you think I have. I can almost guarantee you that I am more far right thinking than you are. I am a strict constitutionalist who does not conform to the collectivism argument that is so rampant in this country. Are or trops doing a great job on the ground over there, yes. Was the war poorly mismanaged, yes. Is GWB an idiot, yes. Does the patriot act defy the constitution, yes. Are we going to win this conflict with the current thinking, no.

How would anyone know this? Besides that maybe al gaeda is taking a little haitus to regroup? Or maybe they have decided to spend more time recruiting eslewhere since they WEREN'T IN IRAQ TO BEGIN WITH!!!!!

People seem to forget that bin laden is not in Iraq, has never been in Iraq. Iraq has no impact on alqaeda. Must be a right winger site that believes in reporting false statistic to support their ailing agenda.

How? Please be specific.

Saddam for all that he was, he was a leader in a sovereign country that DID NOT ASK FOR OUR HELP TO REMOVE HIM!!!! When you force your "help" on others it is considered tyranny. We are no better than Saddam now, we have killed at least as many of the residents of Iraq as he did or more.
