Last night, Michael Ware of CNN made it clear that violence in SOME areas of Iraq is down but that violence in areas that have been calm is way up. He said overall the violence in Iraq has NOT been reduced during this most recent surge. The Bush Surge is like the game “Whack a Mole”. Michael Ware has been in Iraq for more then 4 ½ years and has a very comprehensive perspective of what is going on thought the country. The other assertion that the last elements of the surge just arrived three weeks ago is also a distortion. Although that is true, a substantial portion of the increased American Troop level has been operating for several months. Bush and Toney Snow would have you believe we can not expect to see the impact of the Surge until the very last Troop is on the ground!

The last quarter during the surge has resulted in the MOST American deaths. I guess Bush meant Serge in American casualties not a surge to reduce the overall violence in Iraq. Now the Iraqi Parliament is going on summer recess so the political changes that have NOT been made can not take place before the Cinderella deadline for the September status report. Bush is playing his games while our troops continue to die and be injured in a Civil War that we enabled and that we can not win!

OK gene i have had enough of you shut up


you keep playing the same record and it is skipping


time to change the record and the needle.


bush is not the cause of everything that is wrong with the USA.

most of it belongs on the shoulders of the democrats. who vote for a war and then decry it taking place. I don't care if they were too stupid to read the report, or too stupid to have their staff read the report andhttp://www.geocities.com/bible101a/flood then tell them what it said.


and you want to put one of those idiots in charge of the white house.

YOU DO NOT TELL ME ANYTHING!

"bush is not the cause of everything that is wrong with the USA." I agree. However Iraq IS totally on the head of Bush!

Now we are fighting the police we trained.

U.S. Troops Battle Iraqi Police, Gunmen

BAGHDAD - U.S. forces battled Iraqi police and gunmen Friday, killing six policemen, after an American raid captured a police lieutenant accused of leading an Iranian-backed militia cell, the military said.

Seven gunmen also died in the fight, a rare open street battle between American troops and policemen. Washington has demanded the government purge its police force of militants, and U.S. and Iraqi authorities have arrested officers in the past for militia links. But the Bush administration said in an assessment Thursday that progress on that front was "unsatisfactory."

this is what i was saying. i really loathe the thought of killing so many people too. i am not a war-monger, and i don't think any of us are. some of us just see the reality. there is no good answer. there is no hope of negotiation, and there never was. why should we share the casualties around? we don't have to.

sean, its not bravado, or anything like that. we can win anywhere we go, because our guys are that good. they should be for all the money and training we put into our military. it doesn't matter if its their turf or not. if we didn't have to worry about all the things we have to worry about, if we could just get it done, it would be over. like it or not, its a war.

and to the col. because of the same things some of us where saying about our hands being tied, the iraq war and all of its failings cannot be laid on bush's head. it those failings can also be put on the heads of the people who are scared to hurt other peoples feelings.

i know that even if this war had gone differently, you would still have opposed it. i get it. what would you do to fix it now? how would you make it better? sean laid down some ideas. i don't think they would work, but who am i? he at least thinks productively, all you seem to do it yell about whats wrong.

also, just telling someone to shup up is silly. and its the most frustrating thing to hear from someone you are trying to converse with. the col. makes some good points, so lets try and be resonable.

listen to me, i'm so calm and collected.

a sincere thanks

Everything about the Iraq War is Bush. From the lies that got us into the war to the way we failed to follow the military planning as to troop levels that would be required. The failure in Iraq is 100% Bush!!!!!

i say the failure in iraq is 100% dictater genes fault

i have been on here for about two months and he does make some good points.

but it has been the same point for two months. he has nothing new

“I have been on here for about two months and he does make some good points.

But it has been the same point for two months. He has nothing new”

Given the fact that the report that is the basis for this Blog was just released, I fail to understand how what I said is not NEW!

If your point is that it is another thing that shows the weakness of Bush and his policies, that is because there are so many of them. My Blog Site is “ Bush Truth”.

no your point is bash bush no matter what you called him a traitor if he vetos a bill becouse it might contain something in it, outside of the bill, that he doesn't want to sign into law

you are giving one man to much credit. there is no way bush could do all of that by himself. i think that the bush hate you have is clouding your mind. i really know how it feels to let that sort of thing get to you. but really, you can't believe that any one person can be responsible for something so big.

no your point is bash bush no matter what you called him a traitor if he vetoes a bill because it might contain something in it, outside of the bill, that he doesn't want to sign into law.

I said if the reason you gave is the one Bush used to veto a bill to protect our border then Bush was a traitor.

I document what has taken place. You are the one that says it is Bush Bashing. What I post is a reflection of the consequences of the policies we are following. I would agree most rational people would look at the Bush policies and conclude they are negative. That is not Bush Bashing it is documenting the results of the President's actions which happen to be negative! That does not alter the results I document. Again my Blog is "Bush Truth". If the TRUTH is negative that is not my doing!

you look at everything that has to do with bush.

and say how can i turn this truth into an attack on bush.

meanwhile your party is doing the same thing and you say nothing about them.


i don't really care if you bash bush until the end of time. but apply your standards to everybody not to JUST ONE PERSON.
