#1 Iraq is NOT in Civil War - however, I personally believe both Iraqi Sunnis and neutralist Shias know Iran's Mullahs want Empire, not just nukes, and that Radical-controlled Iran is fanatical enough to induce a US-West vs. Russia-China confrontation iff the Mullahs don't get their way. Iran having nukes and "major/super-power" status will undoubtedly invite the democratic Muslim nations to have arsenals of their own, initially at least to counter Iran. The dominoes fall from there. Let us also remember the Israelis have said they will unilater stop Iran iff the rest of the world won't. FOR AMERICA, IT MEANS THAT EITHER IRAN BE APPEASED, OR AMERICA RISK PC NEW 9-11's/ NUKE HIROSHIMAS, INCLUD ANY WMD USE TO TAKE OUT DUBYA AND WASHINGTON, IN PC MSM-VERIFIED RETALIATION OR "REACTION" FOR ANY US-LED ACTION(S)TO STOP IRAN. Right up the Clinton and anti-US Dems notebook - the Dems will either save the world from MSM-verified US-induced/caused Nuclear "BRINKMANSHIP", andor POTUS Hillary-Gore-Kerry-Dean will lead becuz they weirdly and mysteriously survived the new GOP-caused pre-Holocaust limited national holocaust known as Amer Hiroshima(s). America "volunteers" = "forced" to give up its sovereignty, government and endowments to OWG and anti-American American Socialism [theme from DRAGNET follows]!?

#6 'There is a constant sort of perception, if you will, that's created because what's newsworthy in the car bomb in Baghdad," he said. "It's not all the work that went on that day in 15 other provinces."'

Baghdad prov has close to 20% of the population of Iraq, IIRC. It has a large proportion of the economy, and is the seat of govt. And yes, its were the worlds press looks at Iraq. I mean cmon, we've been there three years. It should be clear by now that if we dont secure Baghdad, we aint won this thing, with all due respect to the good work the USMC has done in Anbar.

#7 So LH - how long has the ummm...conflict been going on in Columbia? Oh, that's right; we didn't dismantle their country.

Peru? Shining Path still out there? Anybody read about that on a piece of newsprint?

But thank you; my USMC youngest child just got out of Anbar a year ago.
