RYAN CROCKER, US AMBASSADOR TO IRAQ: Report to Congress

[montiperotti]

This guy is still using the Saddam BS to justify their murders for oil. It's pathetic. Now 20% of the population of Iraq has been displaced, raped, migrated, injured or killed, and he speaks of "liberation". Thank God these cold blooded twisted characters never last too long in history, alas, long enough to kill a million.

[Marspyramids]

Why do you have negative 3 rating on your comment when you are speaing the truth? What kind of madness has got the American people confused and bewildered to the point where logic, intelligence, and rationality is needed most!

[montiperotti]

Marspyramids... I wouldn't worry about negative ratings. Some people actually believe whatever is thrown to them through the media. They have no other sources of information other than what their parents told them to listen to, so they happily talk about the deaths of thousands of people as if it was a rating game on US TV. Thank you and keep looking for the truth, who knows, we might be able to get rid of this mentality once and for all one day.

This "guy" has served in some of the most dangerous places around the world during his time in the Foreign Service. He was one of the first people to say "NO" to the invasion of Iraq, but once we invaded he was the first to raise his hand to go there and try and do his best. You know why? Because he gets involved and tries his best to serve this country. He doesn't sit back and say "I told you so." This "guy" has risked his life to negotiate a peaceful resolution...and you make youtube comments

[montiperotti]

Well ELsegundo, he's speaking of "liberation". If this guy, yes, he's a GUY whether you like it or not is so brave why doesn't he say it like it is? If he wants to serve his country he should start with the truth and not just follow the usual BS about Iraq. As for me making youtube comments well, what are YOU doing? That's right, the same thing as me, only I don't have any problems with anybody commenting anywhere.

[Elsegundo1807]

True, I hate getting into youtube comment "debates" so I try to stay out of them... but this one I just couldn't keep my mouth shut. Call it a vent...

He's brave because he volunteers to go to these dangerous regions of the world to get involved and make a difference instead of just sitting back and seeing the world through newspapers, TV, and youtube.

Of course he thought the invasion was stupid, but he's doing what he can to make sure we don't screw up more than we already have.

He's human.

[montiperotti]

I get your points, I do. But when a man from the US government calls for Bush and Cheney to be indicted immediately because of the attrocities caused through this ilegal invasion then I'll call him brave. This guy blames all on Saddam, forgetting that the US government helped install Saddam in Iraq, and then helped him with weapons against the Iran shias. No mention of that at all. No mention of the amount of refugees caused by this war, or anything of that matter.

[bthemedia]

Vote Ron Paul!!!

The middle east can only reconcile once we LEAVE. We tried for force our presence there and 'make things better' but it did not and has not had that NET EFFECT. Iraq was a mistake, it was not an attack on terrorism, but since the US invasion we have seen Iraq in a state of terrorism. Heal the world with diplomacy, trade, communicate and friendship - NOT BOMBS and hate.

[stodles]

Yeah that's what Iraq needs! There very own Nelson Mandela!

Yippee! Victory in Iraq is attainable! Once Iraq is stabilized everything will fall into place!

[PreservingLiberty]

Vote Ron Paul!!

[ukn69]

Yes, lets have people fight and die trying to "protect" the idiots of american. Blah blah blah, these people have to read off a piece of paper instead of speaking their mind because its full of lies, damn this is boring, just tell the people of america already, we are doing for no reason.

[befranklintoo]

blah blah protect americans by being the most hate peoples on the face the earth. well of course the real americans have no fear of what the one world creatures who have no win to

control the world in their roman quest, they did not learn from their own destruction by accusing others of things they do themselves and only the lam and blind hear them...

[quabot]

maybe we should pull out of Iraq and let them enjoy their freedom without the US forces around, with or without al-Qaida or civil war... any votes?

[Saxton519]

that looks great and sounds formal even, But where are the WMD's? how can we believe anything any of these politicians have to say. I am taking a plane to Iraq and having a look for myself. Civil order, one can hope

[slickmon]

if you're a republican between the ages of 17 and 35 or have children in this age group. ENLIST!!! no excuses!!!

[darrono]

We have and will fight for your freedome. At the end of the day, just before the enemy hits us again - just a thank you will do!! God bless Slick.

[jerzwest]

You are fighting for OUR freedom? HOW? You are drinking too much of the republican cool aid, my friend. Remember the words of the shrub "Sometimes you have to say the same things over and over again; you have to catapult the propaganda." Yes he actually said that. They have successfully brainwashed 28% of the sheep in this country. You my friend are one of the 28%. Start READING the facts and stop listening to the propaganda. This was is about OIL and nothing else!

[darrono]

My Friend,

I love the MoveOn talking points, did you say propaganda?. I love it! - I'm sure your a great guy and don't hate America, but pull off the FOIL HAT!! Stop pissing on the FLAG!! and WAKE UP!! I'll see you and Ahmadinejad @ Columbia "U" or even Ground Zero. You guys can burn a flag togather??

[jerzwest]

"Propaganda" came out of your president's mouth. He admitted using it! The moron. By using Move On's name, I know you have been sucked in to the right wing talking points this week just like all you other sheep who can't think for themselves.

[darrono]

Jerzwest,

Hey - I want to thank for the talk. Most of the Libs use the F-word or want to hurt someone. The great thing about America is, we can agree to disagree...The sheep thing is a new one for me!! lol.

[jerzwest]

I would urge you to read about how Hitler came into power in the 1930's. Bush has secret prisons and disappear people and has trashed habeus corpus! All he has to do is call any citizen (You or me) an ememy combatent and we are never seen again. Just like Hitler did. This should be shocking to America, but we are all at the mall and watching American Idol instead of pay attention to this criminal administration. Is that the FREE America we fight for? THink about it...

[darrono]

Boy, you're one twisted dude...I know how Hitler came to power, if you're going to compare Hitler to Bush - I'd like to hear this one BIG TIME!! This one all of us would love hear - It's your stage Bro?

[jerzwest]

I know you'd like me to give you all the information, but there is too much to list in this forum. Just do the research then look at the last 8 years. It will look like a carbon copy of the 30's in Germany. It is like Karl Rove read the manual of how to take over a country. I'm twisted? If you can't see the similarities, you are the one who is twisted and blinded by the bullshit thrown at us day after day by this administration.

[darrono]

Same stuff, different day!...You sound like Hillary last night in the liberal debate. Can't answer a question!. As far as the Bush B.S. - I don't agree with half of his crap. I do know I love this country and have a mind of my own...Stay away from the liberal web B.S. and tell me something I can't look up on MoveOn. Look deep, I think you might have it in you?

[jerzwest]

If you think Hillary is a "liberal" you have been drinking the cool Aid again. Hillary is Bush light. She will not say she will pull our guys out of that hell hole. As a matter of fact they want to start another war in Iran. What happened to "dead or alive?" What a bunch of assholes. Kucinach is the guy who speaks truth-that's why he won't win.

[jerzwest]

I'll give you a bit of history. IBM gave the Nazi's punch cards to gather information on its citizens. That is how they knew where the jews lived. The numbers tatooed on there forearms matched the number on the punch card supplied by IBM. Sound familiar? Blackwater hasn't started gathering us up yet, just wait until liberals like me disappear.

[chgosatrap]

you are not fighting for my freedom. You may be fighting, but I have nothing to do with your reason for fighting.

[lompocus]

How can you little civilians possibly think you know more than an experienced general?

How can you possibly have access to textbooks upon notebooks upon binders of strategic advice to the general, of strategy, of tactics used, etc.?

How can you little piles of shit possibly think you know more than any military man does about war?

[Moesef1]

Becuase its the average person that puts these people in office. We trust them to do their job and when we see they aren't acting in our interests, its our responsiblity to get them out. Thats democracy.

[b9keith]

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

BAAAAAAAAAAAA

[treebearbear]

They must think we the public are stupid! This isn't

Petraeus talking...this is Bush and his Gang. We need

to stop acting like sheep..being led to the slaughter.

Look around ...see what's happening...This is a bunch of crap...Bush crap!!

[EFrizell]

SHAME ON YOU!!!!!

Where have you gone Democrats? Is anybody left in your Party with a little love for America?

SHAME ON YOU for playing politics with the lives of our Troops and the safety of our Country: you do not deserve to be called Americans...you are just a bunch of unpatriotic arrogant cowards.

[FetishCouple7]

who is this retard?

[tubewombat]

HA! Yes, detailed political insight into the dynamics of world affairs from..."FetishCouple7".  Fuckin' hilarious. HAHA! I wonder if "Machine" from 8mm will begin posting comments on campaign finance reform.

[ironman4u]

lol questionable? i soppose japan attack itself with two atomic bombs. Or spain blew up its own trains? this will be my new response to usa attacked itself. i know 2 people that just happen to be missing sence being on one of them planes. i guess they are hidding somewhere drinking margaritas and spending there money on the hog.

[marcusjansen239369]

amaizing how we went from a questionable 911 attack, to going in illegally to possibly moving into Iran and they are still selling ...

[johngdoty]

Not to worry! The Hildebeast and her familiars "Dingy Harry" Reid and the head jackass Ted "Dunk Em and Leave Em" Kennedy will save the day by appointing Osama Bin Laden to the Presidency of Iraq. Then we can all convert to Islam and, like her partner in crime Bill Clin-toon, look forward to getting our virgins in Paradise!!!

[EsotericDesi]

This is exactly what Bush wanted General and the Ambassador to tell the public "All's going well and Iraqis now have DEMOCRACY, JUSTICE, and FREEDOM served on booby-trapped cars, trucks, and humans by Islamic Fanatics..." This is why Bush went to Iraq before heading to summit in Australia week before this report was due by the General and this Moron.

[EsotericDesi]

American public needs to stop acting like a flock of sheeps and stop following what these Bush's Henchmen go into Legislative Branch of US Govt. and presnent their lies filled cases knowing public will buy into this crap since Americans read fiction books, not the real WORLD HISTORY... Only if they had read few of those books, we'd not be a nation under debt with negative savings rate and two wars gone wrong at one time under single president in a single presidential term.

[EsotericDesi]

Was Saddam really cruel for killing just 500,000 to 700,000 Iraqis who were threatening his reign or were too religiously fanatics anyways? the same people running Iraq now? Wasn't Stability of Saddam's reign better than chaos that followed under America run "Democracy" that was established after his overthrow?

[EsotericDesi]

Plus, This moron's intelligence should be questioned for saying: "Saddam destroyed all institutions of a society." Unders Saddam, there was more fuel for cars, more electricity, education system that equalled that of developed nations, healthcare that was best in Central Asia and Mid East combined. Its institutions collapsed under America's sanctions after 1991, not just collapsed, but caused murder of over 1.5 million Iraqi kids.

[EsotericDesi]

That in the end destroys reasoning and common sense and leads to more massive, bigger blunders by Govt. and the Military alike with public looking on like a flock of sheep and following whatever the Govt. shows on TV.

[EsotericDesi]

...its Military Generals and platoons of soldiers deployed on the ground in Iraq, but, rather, all speeches are automatically turned into praising it soldiers: How great they are, they're the only ones on earth, and US is the only nation loving its troops; as if rest of the world's just moron and have no mighty militaries of that scale

[EsotericDesi]

One problem with America is that Americans do not "Discuss" the blunders of Biblical Proporations done by America's Government (Republican Congress and a Moron President) and...
