Petraeus, Crocker Face Grilling From Senate

[steinway33]

I completely agree. Bush and Cheney are war criminals and should be imprisoned for life for crimes against humanity.

Not to mention taking our personal freedoms away, allowing waterboarding, Abu Ghirab, the list goes on forever.

Everyone in town calls this administration Vampires living of the blood of our fallen soldiers, the blood of children, old men and women dieing "in the line of Fire"

We invaded for corporate reasons, for power, a country that did not attack us. We now have our own Hitler, Himmler and so on. They say our leader hate us, the people, the utter contempt the Republican party has for humanity, for children, for American is shame

What the fuck do you expect, they don't want to bring them home yet, they're still profitting off of it, contractors and all.

Uhm we have said that this surge was supposed to give the Iraqi Gov room to breathe to enable them to come together. That simply is not happening (especially n Basra) hell we had over 1000 Iraqi police/army mutiny, and that has nothing to do with Al Qaeda. Spend a tour there, and you'll realize that we're just holding on to pass this off to the next President.

[ikez78]

I've actually heard reports from those in Iraq that the war is over and al Qaeda is pretty much defeated and violence is down but the Iraqi government is not yet ready to take over and would be vulnerable to Iranian linked terrorists and al Qaeda linked terrorists finding safehavens in the country.

[galaxydreams]

It would be so fucked up of us if we just up and left before their government was stable.

[Gameguru667]

Because staying there is helping, wake the fuck up! I don't see any aid being given to Iraq to get them to stop. Incentive means not shit living conditions

[galaxydreams]

If we leave someone just like Saddam will come in and take over.. or most likely Iran will take over. But whatever right? Its not our problem right?

[representativepress]

galaxydreams, does what the Iraqis want count to you? MOST want us to leave. The whole damn thing was a dirty deal. STAYING does more harm than good because they aren't stupid, they know there is no "good intention" to this illegal war.

[galaxydreams]

Yes this whole war has been just... bad. I guess its going to suck no matter what we do :( whether we leave or stay.

[Gameguru667]

thank you representativepress, I agree wholeheartedly. I am half-arab so believe me when I say I care about the people there. I believe things with the US/UK coalition there is shit compared to Saddam, I would rather have saddam than a foreign occupation. I'm not saying he was good, he had alot of negative things about him but it was the lesser of two evils. If America really cared about other countries' democracy, it would not have embargoed Palestine after they ELECTED Hamas!!!

Petraeus is considerably more realistic on Iraq than Westmoreland when he was grilled about Vietnam.
