  • General David Petrify-the-Terrorists, even though I'm 99.9% Pacifist, I do respect and appreciate your brave and noble service to our nation. But I do believe that Pacifists should attend every war and peace negotiation, moving to the ends of every option and every miracle on Earth and in Heaven, to find ways that people such as you and your soldiers will not have to stand in harm's way, as you courageously defend America's inability to live in peace. War is a tragedy. Peace is the best option.

  • Get those Code Pinkos the fuck out of there. They don't deserve to breathe the same air as General Petraeus.

  • We Turks know very well General Petraeus.This bastard arested and put sack over the Trukish soldiers heads.No Turkish officer will take order and cooperate with this bastard.I hope he suffer a long time and die painfully.

  • My God he has so many medals on him he's shining. He should really consider a 2012 run or at least VP would suit him nice.

  • America will never ever win in Iraq or Afghanistan they couldnt even beat a bunch of gooks with sticks in Vietnam

  • Australia lost in Vietnam too

  • Those who insist in argumentum ad hominem will be ignored.

  • Anti-Qaeda leader and son killed in Iraq:

    A bomb fixed under the car of an anti-Qaeda militia leader in Iraq killed both him and his young son west of Baghdad on Wednesday, police said. US claims no responsibility for the assassination.

  • Nine Killed in Iraq on another bloody day of US occupation. A suicide bomber drove a truck packed with explosives into a police patrol in central Kirkuk, 250 km (155 miles) north of Baghdad, on Tuesday, killing five policemen and wounding 11 other people, police said.

  • Should the members of the 9/11 Presidential Commission not have been informed that two of the "key witnesses" upon whom their report was based had provided the information critical to the report's conclusions only after being waterboarded a total of 266 times?

  • "We Are Helping The Taliban... we are inciting the very terrorism and extremism we are trying to stop."- Ron Paul

  • If you are a poor, hapless Afghan civilian whose family's bodies were ripped apart by U.S. bombs, does it really make a difference to you if the air "strikes" were ordered by George W Bush, or Barack Obama? I would think not.

  • 140 Afghan Killed In recent US Attack Includes 93 Children

    The list, obtained by Reuters, bears the endorsement of seven senior provincial and central government officials, including an Afghan two-star general who headed a task force dispatched by the government to investigate the incident.

  • We cloak ourselves in cold indifference to the unnecessary suffering of others--even when we cause it.

    - James Carroll

  • Results of an Army survey that found that many U.S military personnel there are willing to tolerate torture of suspects and unwilling to report abuse by comrades.

    In the criminal law, a conspiracy is an agreement between two or more persons to break the law, and, in some cases, with at least one overt act in furtherance of that agreement. There is no limit on the number participating in the conspiracy.

  • "This fight depends on securing the population, which must understand that we -- not our enemies -- occupy the moral high ground," Army Gen. David H. Petraeus wrote in an open letter dated May 10 and posted on a military Web site.

    Torture = immoral

  • Seasoned FBI interrogator Ali Soufan shows why torture does not work and how the Bush administration's insistence on using these techniques actually hurt our intelligence gathering and put our military at even more risk much of the public is only hearing Cheney's side of the debate.

  • You can't get respect using dis respect and you can't get peace using war.

  • Amen brother...

  • The first and most decisive step in solving a problem, sir, is admitting that you have one. I believe a critic already pointed that out on your page. I am neither a hippie nor a tree hugger, and don't have a whole lot of enthusiasm for either.

  • Oh, man that was a good one. Because you have shown *such* respect for your opponents so far as I have seen. I sure hope you ain't asking for respect, 'cause you're not gonna get it from me.

  • There is only one solution to the New World Order problem and the suffering... the solution is spiritual.

  • What do you think this is, a game? The 'New World Order' does not exist. When a problem doesn't exist, there is no need for a solution. Surely, as one who at least claims to be a veteran, you should know that.

  • It is what YOU see, perceive and experience that is true for you. When I enlighten people around me by showing them truth that "they" don't want you to know, I've done all I can. Some people will listen and find their own path, others will not and will stay in the reality they are in - at least for now.

  • I'm not trying to force my reality upon others, let each of us find our own journey. I'm just telling others what I know and perceive, as an inspiration.

  • Men like George Patton and Preston Tucker inspire me. Douglas MacArthur and David Petraeus inspire me. You couldn't convince me to brush my teeth differently, let alone change my opinion about the USA or the Army, even if you tried for a hundred years.

  • I feel like you *are* trying to force your 'reality' on others, sir. Considering you effectively screamed at me, calling me a punk for no other reason than because I am young, and a shill for no other reason than because I don't believe you. And you sure as **** aren't just trying to inform others of what you believe and how you see things.

  • "Does anybody know who Lee Harvey Oswald was? . . . He was two hundred and fifty feet away and shooting at a moving target. He got off three shots with a bolt action rifle in six seconds, and got two hits, including a head shot. Do you know where [he] learned to shoot like that? . . . In the Marines." —Gunnery Sergeant Hartman

    Fellow Marines gave Oswald the nickname "SHITBIRD" since he was a terrible shot and couldn't qualify with his rifle. Oswald suffered from dyslexia.

  • "Oswald was tested in December of 1956, and obtained a score of 212, which was 2 points above the minimum for qualifications as a "sharpshooter" in a scale of marksman--sharpshooter--expert­.777 In May of 1959, on another range, Oswald scored 191, which was 1 point over the minimum for ranking as a "marksman." 778 The Marine Corps records maintained on Oswald further show that he had fired and was familiar with the Browning Automatic rifle, .45 caliber pistol, and 12-gage riot gun."

  • "Report of the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy", Chapter 4. Oswald was not an exemplary marksman, but he was above decent for sure in his sharpshooting abilities. He was given two nicknames in the Marines, none of which you mentioned- Oswaldskovich and Ozzie Rabbit.

  • A myth.Oswald was a competent shot.His Marine records prove it.

  • There is not one person now or ever that could have made the shots "they" are saying he did. It took at least 2 professional mob hit men to do what was done, shooting from 2 different locations. Only a shill would still promote that worn out lone gunman theory.

  • I saw a demonstration on an anti conspiracy theorist show where a marksmen carried out the shots in the the time frame Oswald had.Saw it with my own eyes

  • No doubt you have the whole collection, right next to the nano-thermite that you made in your basement using rusted parts from your old Chevy pickup truck. And we all know you wouldn't lie to us for no reason... who ever you are.

  • You don't even have a clue how that sounds. Kennedy predicted his own assassination by the "secret societies" and others within a global conspiracy in many of his speeches. Odd how you are so familiar with this patsy's records, yet you know nothing of the predictions this great US president made. 911 WAS AN INSIDE JOB just like the operation Northwoods that Kennedy vetoed.

  • "I know there is a terrible conspiracy going on in the world right now . . . the world has the right to hear the truth... [I]t is the most bizarre conspiracy in the history of the world. It'll come out at a future date." —Jack Ruby

    Jack Ruby's real name was Jacob Rubenstein, He had been involved in organized crime since childhood.

    It was not even a federal felony to assassinate a United States president until after JFK was murdered.

  • When the conspiracy of lies surrounding me demands of me to silence the one word of truth given to me, that word becomes the one word I wish to utter above all others.

    - Andre P. Brink

  • "Maybe the people who think there's a conspiracy out there are right," - Peter DeFazio (member of Congress and Homeland Security)

  • People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.

    -Smith, Adam

  • Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.

    -Washington Bailey

  • Just in:

    Defense Secretary Robert Gates replaced the commander of the Afghanistan war on Monday, saying the Obama administration needs "fresh thinking" to turn around the war against a resurgent Taliban.

    Odd how the "greatest military force in the world" now has to admit things aren't working out with the "surge".

  • Just because we have one of the greatest, if not the greatest, armed forces in the world doesn't mean we always win all the time. Your claimed service in the US military surely taught you that. And who said we were losing in Afghanistan? We're winning there, and in Iraq as well. You have fun rooting for the Taliban, stupid.

  • A truly great military that wins with honor doesn't need to torture it's enemy. So why does Dick C. try to justify it? Because he is a sadistic maniac.. he can't even get a neocon conservative republican that will agree with his paranoid satanic worshiping beliefs.

  • Those are evils and excesses of the Bush administration, which, thank God, is over now. But great men like David Petraeus remain, as they deserve to. I don't like Cheney, but there is no indication he is a Satanist. And don't ever mention that crazy conspiracy word, 'neocon' to me again. It just makes you sound not right in the head.

  • Petraeus is a right wing, christian moron who supported Bush lock step. If that bastard Bush wanted it done, Petraeus would do it, with a big smile on his face.

  • Petraeus is a conservative, and he probably is a Christian. He has never, so far as I know, spoken out for or against any administration he has served under, past or present. And you know something about Bush? He was the President for *8* years. The Commander-In-Chief has plenty of the required authority to tell his generals what he wants done. And being a good soldier, Petraeus listens to the President, whether he agrees with him 100% or not.

  • Breaking news:

    Five U.S. soldiers were killed today by one of their own in a shooting at an American base in Baghdad, the U.S. command said. A brief U.S. statement said the shooting occurred about 2 p.m. at Camp Liberty near Baghdad International Airport

  • "Joining the Army was the worst decision I ever made," - That's what FBI agents said former U.S. soldier Steven Green told them nearly three years ago about accusations that he had raped a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and killed her and her family.

  • For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--- JF Kenney

  • What the Hell is this JFK quote (source please) supposed to mean? Aren't you all hyped up about some horrific conspiracy called the US of A? I love how I beat down your slander against the Point and Petraeus and you just gave up, surrendering that argument to me and choosing to sling more conspiracy and anti-war crap at me.

  • Do I need to spoon feed you little baby? You don't know that the neocons lie to us and scare the sheeple so that we all beg to be fleeced? Petraeus has no honor just like those above him in the pyramid who he licks boots. You can look at his face and tell that he has trouble believing the crap that he is forced to say. The neocons are getting exposed for who they are. You support them because you are a just pussy little punk who goes with the winning team with no original thoughts of your own.

  • Oh, man, I think I'm gonna be sick. You conspiracy kooks are all up the wall, 'round the bend, off the fucking planet crazy! I grant you, the Bush administration was a low, underhanded, detestable and shameful part of American history, but this conspiracy shit is too much. If you don't think I have any thoughts or beliefs of my own, it only shows how little you know me. When you get to Hell, say hi to Richard Poplawski for me. I'll say hi to Petraeus when we both get to Heaven.

  • on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.

  • As of the end of 2008:

    Number Of Iraqis Slaughtered Since The U.S. Invaded Iraq

    Number of U.S. Military Personnel Sacrificed (Officially acknowledged) In America'sWar On Iraq 4,287

    The War in Iraq Costs

    $667,446,348,183

  • If there's a better man the Army has right now, I'd like someone to point him out. Petraeus is one of a long list of magnificent leaders produced by West Point, one of the finest men the United States Army has ever counted among its ranks. Every soldier in the Army should look up to General Petraeus as a shining monument to what a soldier should be.

  • Comment removed

  • Would you consider me a nerd if i enjoyed watching this?

  • It's a good thing that they are, but let's not turn it into a bad thing by pointing fingers at other people and saying "hah, see? you were wrong!" Let's take it for what it is, which is a positive step forward for all of us.

  • I am not a liberal...I am not really a conservative either...I'm not concerned with being right or wrong, but more with doing what's right. Before Petraeus was brought in (and thank god he was), people on both sides were saying the war was unwinnable. His success as a military commander is not a confirmation of anyone's preexisting steriotypes of people that hold leftist or rightist views are intellectually capable of. I'm so glad that things seem to be turning around.

  • There is simply no evil great enough that liberals could not find an eloquent way to submit to it. Its a tragedy that the number of viewers here is less than the number of people living on planet earth. Petraeus is extremely smart and, more importantly, fighting a morally upright cause. You have to be intellectually lame not to support this fight against evil.

  • Nice! Libs and Dems where wrong. Wrong!

    The evil bastards are being taken down .

    Key is that these evils are going down .

    If we are putting up with Iranian causing problem to our troops . We need to make sure that nothing from iran is allowed. If Iran steps out and wants to work against use then we need to cripple that cause immediately.

    I said, iran was behind a lot of the crap.

    The terrorist leaders are going down.

    Good Job! Thanks to our troops!

  • democrats took a big gamble and loss

  • i think the camera guy was text messaging, you can hear the interference

  • The Anbar Awakening worked!!!

    whoops... i mean...

    The Troop Surge worked!!!

  • Its amazing how foolish and childish the career politicians look when confronted by someone who speaks clearly using only the facts without the grandstanding showboating of Washington.

  • @crustyqwerty :|

    

  • Wayne, this guy makes me feel woozy. I'm talking about you, Bubba, not General Petraeus. He's the best man the Army has right now, and his brilliance in dealing with counter-insurgency warfare is unparalleled. Petraeus is the right man, at the right time, in the right place. Every Army soldier should aspire to be like him.

  • Aspire to be a right wing, christian?

  • Aspire to be? It would be accurate to say that I am. A conservative and a methodist, that's me. Is that such a bad thing?

  • This guy is awesome , i think its a pitty the jews cotnrolling usa for their puproses and now usa is fighting for the israeli jewsish bastards

  • If anyone gets a moment go to str33twarrior22 web page. If his mind and as fucked up as his web page this man is a psychopath. This is the kind of mindset that is on the other side of an Americans ar-15. This is the kind of mindset that tries to get our soldiers killed. This IS the kind of guy that encourages the insurgents. This is the kind of guy we need to weed out of our society before he gets us all killed.

  • Yeah, judging by this guys page he's a wacko.

  • You're going to Hell, my friend. Be sure to say hi to Hitler and Stalin when you get there. Coming from a Section 8 like you, insults to the finest man the Army has right now don't mean a thing.

  • There is no hell, my friend. Stop believing in fairy tales. Shove your religion up your ass.

  • Whether there is or isn't a Hell, God will live forever in foxholes. Your manners and intellect do quite take my breath away, sir.

  • You hate Christians, you think 9/11 was funny, and you support the torture, beating and murder of all who claim to be/are 'emo'. I think you've gone bat-shit, but that's just me, the good old teenage Army recruit. If you honestly think 9/11 was funny and think a certain group of people you don't like you should be killed, and never change that attitude, you'll be in a meeting room with Hitler and his gang someday...somewhere real hot.

  • Why should I take you or anything you have to say seriously? You're crazy, bigoted, and a sadist. I don't place too much weight in the words of people who can be described that way. Be thankful for free speech, for if it weren't there you wouldn't be allowed to speak General Petraeus' name.

  • And the fact that he's among the Army's finest soldiers, has the left chest side of his dress uniform covered in medals, and wears four stars and each shoulder just escapes you? Petraeus is the personification of "Duty, Honor, Country". Those words represent what he was, is, and will be. He has already secured his place in history as one of the Army's finest generals. Can you say that about yourself?

  • I respect the man for his leadership.

  • General Petraeus is a good man. GoD Bless him

  • man that was long, but Commander Petraeus you got my seal of approval. I'm not sure where that holds weight, and maybe this message is a little late, but you still have the seal of roby approval.

  • Can't argue with teh charts. Go Petraeus.

  • My sarcasm radar is at service these days, so I'm not sure if you meant that or not, but a ratio of 1:180 in garrison:population does not equal a successful occupation, and I find it tragicomic that they still think it is.

    "Iraqi security forces"? They're infiltrated, corrupt, and are more poorly armed than the militias.. :P

  • he doesnt hate america you fucktard

    he hates stupid shitfaces dems and liberals like you

    and me too!

    go ziles77!

  • ROFLMAOz0r

    simply stupid and retarded.

    Because of Bush, we did not have any more terrorist attackes within US; you should be thankin his ass

    I sometimes wish our gov't was commusist so we can just put ppl like you to death. It'd be so much better w/o you bitches complaining

  • spence - Your threat is noted and forwarded to the authorities. If you aren't the chicken hawk punk that you portray yourself as, why don't you post your real name and address? No doubt your language and lack of original thought by repeating mockingbird propaganda proves who is truly the "stupid and retarded"... it's YOU.

  • "spence - Your threat is noted and forwarded to the authorities"

    first of all, what threat did i make?

    2ndly, u just proved you are a dumbass for sayin that

    its so obvious that you did not noted and forwarded to the authorities

    you should just stop wastin my time wit your nonsense

    your attempt to get me scared just makes me laugh

  • im trying to have a debate with you, not an argument. so far, all you've done is flood me with bush's propaganda. i've told u all the down-factors of iraq. so just tell me one thing: how has going into iraq helped you personally?

  • how does it help me?

    oh i dont know besides the fact that i'm a cadet in US Military Academy @ West Point hoping for the war to be still on by the time i graduate so i can do what im paid to do? maybe?

  • so basically u dont care what happens to this country's economy, soldiers, or environment as long as u get that career oppurtunity you want. and i thought west point had some sense of honor. u dont want to serve ur country, u just want some action. and it takes more than combat experience to make a general.

  • I dont know how you derived all these nonsense about me but you are wrong.

    I'm done commenting in here. It'd be better if i get to have a convo with you in person so i can explain much clearly.

    but whatever

    im not gonna waste my time on internet stressin to get ppl like you to see the side of the war that you arent seeing

  • Just as I thought, spence is just a chickenhawk wanna-be punk who's mother needs to wash his filthy gutter trash mouth with soap. Stop trying to live in the imaginary glory of your cousin in the military, move out of your parents basement and get a life.

  • lol b9keith ad hominem abusive!

    just incase if you dont know what that is..

    it is attacking the person who proposed the argument (personal attack like how you said "move out of your parents basement" "wann-be punk") in an attempt to discredit the argument. It is also used when an "opponent" (thats you b9keith) is unable to find fault with an argument, yet for reasons, the opponent disagrees with it.

    thats logical fallacy for ya

    this is why i cant debate nor argue with stupid ppl like you

  • Why are some of the ppl in here are against the war?

    Are you gettin affected by the war?

    I dont see soldiers complaning.

    My Cousin who is in the army "wants" to go back to iraq to fight.

    What gives you a right to say stop the war.

  • hmm lets see:

    -rising oil prices

    -1.8 trillion dollar cost of the war

    -an economy crisis

    -4,000 troops dead and counting (excluding the tens of thousands wounded)

    -oh, and dont forget the 700,000-900,000 iraqis killed

    why dont u ask a marine serving in iraq today?

    i think the proper question is: "what gives u the right to continue the war?"

  • dont blame the war for rising oil prices. its those stupid democrats and enviornmentalists that wont allow us to drill more oils.

    its a good thing that 700,000-900,000 iraqis are killed lol

    so what 4000 are dead

    unless you are related to a soldier who died, you shouldnt use that as ur argument.

    economy cant always go up. we are just at the point where its going down. it will go up anytime. and you cant say war alone caused our economy to go down

  • first thing first, oil drilling in alaska would be devastating to the environment and is only a TEMPERARY SOLUTION.

    the fact u hold no sympathy for the innocent dead makes u no better than hitler

    the soldiers who fight on our behalf deserve more respect than anyone in this country, and i mean anyone

    the economy crisis is a byproduct of the war. one day of spending in iraq could fund many years of public development here in the states.

  • you retard

    how the fuck drillin oil in alaska would be devastating?

    and its not a temperary solution. the oil reserves in alaska and around US alone have more than oils than Iraqis' and that would last and keep our oil prices down until we research new way to get the energy

  • I do respect our soldiers, moron

    Its the ppl who say "oh man, our innocent troops die for no reason so we should stop the war" that i have prob with.

    First of all, no one is forcin ppl to join the armed forces.

    When they joined, they know the risk and they are doin their job.

    What do you think soldiers are for?

    don't tell me their job isn't to fight/defend.

    You don't want them to do their job?

  • tell me then, what are our soldiers fighting for?

  • for US security

    preventing attacks by eliminating terrorist forces and threats

    it is a fact that ppl over there want to harm us in any ways

    You want to let them plan the attacks or get rid of them for good so we can live w/o worryin about another 9/11

  • how has iraq helped in preventing terrorism? insane hussein was not involved with any terrorist organizations, he was simply a brutal dictator. if you want proof plz go to google and search: bush's war. watch part 1 of this free documentary and it will show you how the bush administration manipulated 9/11 sympathy to wage an unneccesary war. plz watch it. u may be surprised: i certainly was.

  • Please don't reply to spence and let him leave like he promised. He is a disgrace to the US military and our country. I'm a war vet and I'm ashamed of chicken hawk wanna-be punks like him. If he is one of West Point's plebes, it proves the desperation of the whoremonger neocons who run our country to fill the ranks with gutter trash at the bottom of the barrel. No doubt they train our military to put a bullet in the head of any war protester in the ranks and told to make it look like a suicide.

  • well said, i mean i respect his opinion but he just wont accept the facts. its like he doesn't want to hear it. he wants to be ignorant.

  • YOU again! Jesus H. Christ, it's a Goddamn subversive! When did you serve? What branch? For how long? What rank did you get to? How many medals and commendations? Talk, boy! General Petraeus is well on his way to taking his well-earned place in history alongside Curtis LeMay, George Patton, George Marshall, Omar Bradley, Douglas MacArthur, and Dwight Eisenhower. He's the right man in the right place at the right time.

  • "I believe that if we had and would keep our dirty, bloody, dollar-soaked fingers out of the business of these nations so full of depressed, exploited people, they will arrive at a solution of their own, and if unfortunately their revolution must be of the violent type because the "haves" refuse to share with the "have-nots" by any peaceful method...

  • Answer the damn questions, subversive. When did you serve? What branch and for how long? How many medals and commendations, and what rank did you reach? Come on! If you're not a liar, you'll cough up that info easily.

  • a shill pointing his finger at someone else crying fraud... how original. Why do I need to prove anything to a boot licking neocon wannabe punk like you? What is stated is referenced, you have no honor calling someone a liar and can't even look up the references given, proving you are just a shill...

  • What references? Give be some damn references, conspiracy kook! You conspiracy nuts have to prove yourselves because most people believe you are liars, and most think you're not entirely right in the head. Oh, man, I'm 18 so I am by default a 'punk'. You try to say *I* am unoriginal?

  • It is, I think, an indisputable fact that Americans are, as Americans, the most self-conscious people in the world, and the most addictedtothebeliefthattheothe­rnations of the earth are in a conspiracy to under value them.

    -James, Henry

    --- people like you even call our country's founding fathers "conspiracy kooks" SHAMEFUL

  • You don't have any honor just like those who you want to be like that kill innocent people and rape little girls. Shameful

  • Sure, because all soldiers are devoid of honor and all soldiers kill innocents and rape girls. Way to go with the negative stereotyping. I'd criticize you for daring to attack my honor, but I won't, 'cause coming from you that don't mean a thing. How could you be crying fraud? You ARE a fraud.

  • If you are looking for such things as reason or truth, you will find the mind of a conspiracy theorist uttlerly devoid of such things. If you wish to see what's in store for you should you try to engage in conversation with one, consult my Conspiracy Theorist Checklist that I have posted on my channel. I have added to it over the last 2 years now, and offers proof that CTs share a collective mind.

  • I agree entirely, sir, extremely well said.

  • at least what they

    get will be their own, and not the American style, which they don't want and

    above all don't want crammed down their throats by Americans."

    winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor - Source: May 14, 1966

  • And yes, David H. Petraeus is a West Point graduate. And in case you forgot, Petraeus graduated from the same Academy that MacArthur, Patton, Eisenhower, Bradley, Lee, Hood, Jackson, Sherman, and Longstreet did. Envious that you didn't even get in? I get the impression that it is more than capable of producing quality officers. Add in the excellence of VMI and The Citadel and it's no wonder we have the best military on Earth.

  • Quote from:

    General David M. Shoup- Commandant of the Marine Corps 1960-63,

    Honor someone who had true honor, not these decadent infidels of today.

  • I don't think any man has ever existed in the history of the United States Marine Corps, any who served honorably and fully deserves to be known as a Marine, has ever used the term 'infidel' in the sense that those radical Muslim madmen do. And certainly not the Commandant of the Corps. You are not even worthy to speak the name of the USMC's commander, past or present.

  • because this war was started based off lies and filtered intelligence from the bush administration. do some honest research, and maybe you'll notice how much this current administration has profited off, and destroyed this country.

  • hmm how the hell the administraition of a country (in this case US)profitted while they destroyed the country? roflmaoz0r

  • because 9/11 justified the support america gave to start the war. and this war has no bid contracts with coporations like haliburton that cheney was once a president of. war is expensive. and oil is valuble.

  • i wonder why the fruitcakes lie and say the iraq invasion was to rid the world of nuclear weapons that weren't there? when the truth is that the invasion was to force inspections that saddam refused to cooperate with- and bring him to trial for his crimes at the same time..

  • just cuz we like to kick other ppl's ass.

    That reason alone is good enough for me to go to other nation and invade the fuckers

  • yeah like we need more fruitcakes around like you.. go back in your closet..

  • the u.s. should proclaim victory and get out of iraq before more american soldiers get killed for bush's illegal and unjustified war

  • ok...we need to leave. Everything is too political. All these F!@cken leaders arent specific at all. They all are worried about their jobs/life, just tell the truth; Selfish bastards. He should report what the exit stradegy is...dumbass.

  • Fuck exit stretegy.

    Stay in Iraq for as long as we can and kick their ass!

  • fuck you, "betray-us" hope you get shot!

  • (continued).... this will enable those of you with less of an understanding of what truly is going on to speak more intelligently (or maybe not speak at all). (YDKWYDK)

  • First, when a commander is given a mission his job is to win. That is the only commanders' focus. Worrying about anything else besides his mission is not his job.

    Second, wearing these awards is tradition. This does not mean he's boasting...he is wearing the "dress" green uniform...

    Third, before conducting more youtube "drive-bys shootings" on the General, I recommend reading some counter-insurgency literature. (War of the Flea and Learning to Eat Soup with a Knife to name a couple.)

  • to clarify my point...i'm not dissing the shiny objects or medals on the guys chest. i'm just saying "why" show it off? why not wear a suit to the hearing. Those alqueda a-holes and insurgent a-holes don't seem to have an incentive or care to show off a medal on their uniform. we feel the need to feel good about ourselves and look good...therefore the medals and uniforms. there wouldn't be a lot of volunteers if everyone just wore some green or brown fatigues with no adornments whatsoever.
  • stfu

    he earned it

    why are you complainin about nothin

    fukin whiny bitch

  • the pro war people were swindled by tough talk, slogans, fear and poor substitutes for patriotism. like flagpins,religion and karl roves ability to make pro war sentiment sound like love for country....we leftist bitches understand the midwest was never known for its mental fortitude....we cant blame dummies for being dumb. thats why thier dummies....

  • its not the generals fault. look at his face. he looks like a witness at a mafia trial testifieng for the prosecution.....bush tells him what to say then bush says im gonna do what my general said to do. if bush really listened to his generals we wouldnt be in iraq.... im sure they were against it....are these people even serious. i swear theres times bush can hardly keep a straight face....they really think were all as stupid as the rednecks that buy thier bullshit!!!!

  • general petraeus is so full of shit..what does he mean by achieve? by killing innocent iraqis, the surge has failed, and this man thinks everything is ''al qaeda, extremists..etc'' when will america stop blaming other countries when iraq never attacked us, petraeus reminds me of bush...a bunch of bullshit just to continue his useless army

  • "monkeys and apes are shown

    to be attracted to and impressed

    by bright colors and shiny objects"

    Clever. Each of those "bright colors" and "shiny objects" signify an achievement that the likes of YOU can only envy. YOU wouldn't last a day in the life.

    Congratulations on making this clone account to take cowardly potshots at the military and for failing at life.

  • OH! You tell 'em, Deke! That dave98503 guy just got owned.

  • what an asshole.

  • look in the mirror, you'll see the real asshole. MoFo

  • The only reason why America is in IRAQ is because Americans suck at geography. Show me an American that can find Afganistan on a Map and I'll show you somebody smarter that Bush.

  • Well lets see, maddy. I was in the Middle East a few times, including Iraq, and I can state unequivocally that you're just as full of shit as the Democrats who sat on the farcical inquisition.

  • HAHAHA well I doubt you can find IOWA on a map let alone anything in the middle east. Soooo keep being stupid and follow your great leader as we run head first into a recession and terrorist sit and with for the right opourtunity to strike. What dummies like you fail to realize is that terrorism is not going to end just because we occupy a few countries and kill people. ANYONE CAN BE A TERRORIST AT ANYTIME.

  • Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooL!!!

  • He is a Bush yes man. He should be hanged with the rest of the Bush administration.

  • Pelter1: That where you seen one?!!!!

  • Who is this asshole?

    I'm talking about General Petraeus.

  • "Who is this asshole"?

    Take a look in the mirror.

  • Ron Paul is a Dinosaur stuck in a lost world of Nationalism and Isolationism. The only thing scarier than this terrorist appeaser are the sheep that follow him.

  • General can determine their own uniforms. This whitebread has shit taste in clothes. He looks like a cartoon character out of the Wars of Succession.

  • "Ethno-sectarian violence"--where did this clown go to graduate school?

  • Yet another Hans Blix-type puppet

  • McCain promises 100 years in Iraq.

    McCain has promised to keep America in Iraq for 100 years.

    McCain promises 100 years in Iraq.

  • WHAT DEFEAT? Your messiah Bush, has already declared victory a few years ago...so WHAT DEFEAT? It's like talking to monkeys with you warmongers. They don't agree with us so let's just kill them all...that's what you guys think.

  • The victory was declared against the regieme of sadamm husain, not the radical militia groups we are fighting in order to sustain the gvrmt we created.Vietnam as a government is prospering only in its nations economy, its people still suffer in extreem poverty.And if we do not fight back against the terrorists who do have those ideas, we have damned are nation to defeat by those who wish to see OUR idealology put into the dust.I would rather fight to protect our ideals then surender to theirs

  • You are so blind with fear & hate that you don't even realize that you want what they want. To protect your own ideology. These people are fighting to keep their fucked up ideology while living in caves & running around with old equipment & see how hard it is to kill their ideas! If it's that hard to kill their ideology, think of how impossible it would be for them w/ their primitive weapons to even scratch yours, let alone "put it in the dust". Please, don't make me laugh. Slave to fear U r.

  • matreyia: Approx. 70% of America realizes that invading Iraq was a colossal mistake. The hard core, numb-nut Bushites will never

    acquiesce. They only know what they see on Faux News and hear from that Limbaugh right wing nut.

    God forbid if they ever try to think for themselves and actually dare to question authority...

  • yes, their "primitive weapons".....is that what you call it when they drive airlines into our buildings; they sure did bring those to dust. and they are armed by states such as iran and syria, who have some of the most advanced weapons in the world and iran's revolutionary gaurd, their most elite soldiers, are aiding them to hide...where have you been the last 10 years? and yes, i want to protect my idealology like they do, but that is why ALL conflicts in history have been fought.

  • It seems niave to me that so many of you already accept defeat in iraq. If we do not stay and finish the mission, the middle east will become a bloodbath and what will the world blame it on. In addition, look throughout history.....no, i mean the places like iraq dumbass.....yea, there you go. notice what happens when the goverment protecting the people leaves,the people by themselfs....yea, africa, cambodia, eastern europe (before US came in to help) think about that hippie bastards

  • you sir, are the one who's head is stuck in the sand. what mission? oh wait, what happened in vietnam? they are one of the fastest growing economies in asia...you are blindly following your fears, your doctrine and your incapable greedy leaders into a giant pit of death, hatred and destruction. Have a happy life. You CAN'T kill idea. It is not a person. Terrorism is an ideology. you have to change it with education and examples, not by bombing...damnit, a bomb just destroys lives on both sides!

  • Petraeus will go down in American history as a bigger traitor than Benedict Arnold.

  • hi guys I like to blame america for all the problems in the world and then lump all americans into an asshole dumbass stereotype because I refuse to look at the bad things that anyone else does, like Sadr's militia who's responsible for the deaths of many iraqi civilians, or any other of the rival sects militias who all together are responsible for "more" than the majority of the civilian deaths, I don't acknowledge that many soldiers who are "trying" to help over there go through hell everyday
