#1 "Baghdad doesnât need another "brilliant" diplomat. It needs a Wyatt Earp."

It keeps coming back to that. What seems complicated is really simple. What still makes sense is the policy that got us there - a little Cowboys and Islamists.

#3 Antiwar is a fake -- she pretends to be a nice, concerned liberal, but s/he gets real nasty when support for islamofascists (including undermining Western society and values) is confronted too directly. So as not to waste bandwidth, you can read the Same Story, Different Day right here.

#4 Saddam kept the extreme fundamentalists in control now they are running amuk in Iraq.

Ah...yes...it's too bad that ol' Sadaam is not still in power. And along those lines, it's too bad that you weren't one of the victims the rape and torture rooms. Since ol Saddy was fine by you, antiwar, I just wish you could have been there instead of someone else. Then the rest of us would be spared the torture of your stupidity.

"in control"--that is, murdered them, their families, etc. Saddam did indeed "have his faults."

But if the Israelis kill Islamonazi terror leaders like Yassin, then suddenly it's just awful, isn't that right, Antisemite?

#7 antiwar is really creepy.

She's beyond creepy. Her dream is to have a red-brown Judenfrei dictatorship.

#9 US should NEVER have invaded Saddam Hussein's capture left a vacuum which has different groups vying for power once USA leaves (IF they ever do)Iraq will probably end up a fundamentalist theocracy.

Translation: Iraq and it's inhabitants deserved to STAY under the thumb of Saddam Hussein and his brutal sons and henchmen in the interest of "stability". Ah yes, that coveted stability.....

I'm sure all those that died at the hands of Saddam would agree with you.

#11 I dont mind saying this. The ignorance of Iraqis is beginning to piss me off. Im beginning to sense that only the nuke will ever solve this.

Ok, I know thats bad to think... but its crossing my mind.

#12 Everyone including Ralph Peters has gone wobbly since the Sadr and Fallujah hardboys have attempted their mini-tet. Everyone wants payback, or to pull out. Why don't the Iraqi's help us people bemoan. We should have pummelled them to begin with others rant! Well the US left the shia high and dry in the early 90s and now we've got politicans and fools talking about turning things over to the UN and Spain bugging out. I don't blame Iraqi's for keeping their heads down until after the US elections at least.

#13 cingold, thanks for posting the link to the old thread. I missed that one. Sounds like antiwar hasn't developed a bullshit sensor yet and just believes any old garbage she finds on lefty websites. Very creepy if she really is a healthcare worker.

Patience is not a modern American trait.
