This is TOTAL BS ... WHAT favor of KOOL ADE is being served up here??? Dick Cheney's special blend...sour grape and sweet crude($140.00 per barrel) is my guess.

I love how you reply without saying anything about the video at hand. You say it's BS and provide nothing to back it up. I guess it's hard to deny the truth, though, so I shouldn't be concerned.

At least 17 US troops have died in Iraq since this video was posted. No telling how many Iraqis.

Yeah...everything is peachy over there.

Over the past weekend in Washington, D.C. (our nation's capitol) nine people were murdered. In the first six months of 2008, the murder rate has exceeded that of all 12 months of 2007.  In the past two weeks, about the same time this video has been out, 14 people were murdered in D.C. Sounds to me like the troops are safer in Iraq than our own nation's capitol! Oh, and in case you didn't know, there is no war in D.C.!!

STUPID? what will going to iraq accomplish? nothing but a photo op... you dont know shit- all until your out on the streets living with civilians...then and only then will you "understand" and know the state of the mind of the iraqi populace.

so McSenile going to iraq has accomplished nothing...other than burning tax payer money!

[chcknhawk]

"McSenile" eh? Sounds like someone is violating the age discrimination laws in this nation.

It sounds so good over there that the troops can come home now.

We've heard this all before and we are not buying what you are selling. John Mccain has been to Iraq close to 10 trips and he can't tell the difference between Shea and Sunni. and when you see him on tv walking through the streets, it's always peaceful. Like most jobs that we have in the country, when the big bosses come around, you always put on a good show. He can't learn anymore the Mccain already has (not much) he can see from here the impact it is having on the U.S. taxpayers.

and if YOU find the ONE TRUE answer....let me know : )

[3swelldogs]

you SHOULD look at every perspective possible. and I have to tell you...this is an extremely hard one. lots of reasons..good and bad. first of all we should NEVER have gotten reliant on fuel/energy from that region. you CAN blame that on the democrats. they DO hate christianity...many of them STILL live like its 2000 years ago (literally) that ain't gonna help no one. we go in there...we want the best deals...they disagree later...well...what then?? kill us??? they tried AND are trying.

[Sylexiel]

I like to look at things for every perspective i can and I keep asking myself.. Why do the want us dead? I love My country but I know we are not as innocent as our govt. would like you to believe.

[3swelldogs]

in so far as the ability to pay...that does need to be questioned...every part NEEDS to be questioned....I have no problem with that. we should have gone in ages ago. I think we actually helped set him up...and if so..WE need to correct that...in which case no payment would needed. I also believe we should have gone in when they attacked kuwait. (sp?) but are there people there that WANT americans dead...YES!!! they need to die.

[Sylexiel]

not trying to be rude but do you remember why we are there and how we got there in the first place? we can talk about iraq as if we know more than the candidates but the bottom line is what are we doing and that country really? and why are we financing a war in which the host government has the ability to pay yet doesn't.
