LOL - "Thousands of Iraqi Christians made their way to church through checkpoints and streets lined with blast walls"

God help you if you're on the wrong side of the wall.

What happens when the check points and blast walls disappear? You are then free to choose the Sunni or Shiite religion that dominates within the walls you are living within.

Did the blacks have freedom when they were escorted by the National Guard or Federal Marshals on their marches?

You probably believe Putin when he says that they have a democracy in Russia.

I thought there was a terrible "civil war" going on there. The [C]ommunist [N]ews [N]etwork, the NYT, Dingy Harry Reid, Nancy Pee-loosey, how could they all be wrong?

[quote]Meanwhile, here at home, bitter and cynical partisans continue to refuse acknowledgment of any sort of progress in Iraq and continue to call for a massive withdrawal of US forces from Iraq. A withdrawal that would cripple our ability to complete this mission just as we're closer now than ever to completing it.[/quote]

Then you should have quoted them and posted an article on their remarks instead of this AP article that does a good job of being fair and balanced.

Further, the good news resulting from many things, including the surge, is no guarantee that the loss of blood and treasure and political capitol, caused by the Iraqi war, will be worth it. It's going to take at least 5-10 years to see what this grand experiments produces in the way of results.

Therefore, any government official that happens to realize this comes across to me a bit more than simply "bitter, cynical or partisan". On the flip side a similar minded moron might say: "Seems to me you're just anxious to get another mission accomplished sign in the media so you can start comparing Bush to Reagan".

This is all too juvenile.

"MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" One the day that I saw that news clip with a strutting, leather-jacketed President in front of that banner, I [i]knew[/i] that his admittedly arrogant and unstatesman-like stunt would become THE galvanizing force - the 'defining' moment - for all his enemies; the leftist/liberals, the anti-war folks and the dems. Because, more than anything, it is George Bush that they hate and that crudely staged event represented everything about him that they loathe.

sannitized, ever the partisan anal openning.

Note that the suicide bombings of the last 3 months have been focused against A. the Iraqi Police/Army, B. innocent civilians, C. oil and industrial/power/water infrastructure. Coalition Forces have been hit in a hapahzard or incidental manner. Christians in Iraq take it in the neck simply because they are weak and the focus of ages old jealousy.

As the fundamentalist, anti-modernity factions are rejected the violence will peak, and those pushing terrorism as political expression will be increasingly isolated and marginalized. That is what is frightening the political left in America. Their handy tools, terrorists are becoming less effective, and the media and Democrat Party are vainly struggling to keep the hold over the public's perception of the situation.

Now sannitzed will demand that everyone provode it proof of what it does in ever comment thread, and deny that it is, in fact, a partisan leftard hater of all people who refuse to bow down to its socialist stupidity.

Lets us hear it.

I have to take you to task on that one, Hotel. I'm surprised that you would use such a phrase.

The word should be "orifice", not, "opening." Much more descriptive, don't you think?

Yawn.

It's tiring watching you guys debate yourselves and the little paranoid voiced in your head.

Socialism, socialism, that's the only card you have. Again, yawn.

Stupid, juvenile and boring.

No facts, logic or reasoning. Yawn.
