two conflicting peoples should never attempt to live together

@thefreeassociation My wife works for a democratic congressman here in DC. It was precisely the wikileaks debate which made him change his mind about more funds for the war in afghanistan. Battim is right, you speak without even researching the topic. Such is youtube

I am a European and I do not feel offended bye you comments.
Ppl ar all the same, we try to throw the blame on a country closer to the center of the conflict just as America, Norway, or any other nation would do.
And the Most reliable press in the EU is the French press, they ar the most balance country in terms of Fairness.
Just my opinion ... TY

@jonno52 we saw a lot of that horror here too. obama did confirm what was already planned in iraq. correct. hard to give him credit for a situation that calmed down before he took power. 65000 will remain and the others will be sent to afghanistan. stretched is the operative word.

@battim OK - just going by the BBC saying "US President Barack Obama has confirmed the end of all combat operations in Iraq by 31 August. Some 50,000 of 65,000 US troops currently in Iraq are set to remain until the end of 2011 to advise Iraqi forces and protect US interests."
BBC more palatable than Assange, but "advisers" ... heard that term before somewhere. Vietnam napalm footage on TV nightly... too young to understand the full horror then.
Anyway it's late here & I'm signing off. Peace!

@jonno52 as oppoed to most who don't. i believe you. but obama did not say he was pulling combat troops from afghanistan, he said that about iraq, and he isn't actually pulling them from combat at all.
@battim I don't doubt that Assange enjoys the attention he's getting somewhat and may consider himself an important figure in the fight against US imerialism or something like that. Who knows? He may turn out to be that. But I don't think it's quite logical to say he "literally united the legislature" and got it to pass the war supplemental. Do you really think that thing wouldn't have passed if it weren't for the publication of the leaks?

@thefreeassociation its not logic, its what was used to get the bill passed. lol. did you even watch the debate? of course not. it would not have passed 48 hours after...the leaks literally got the debate going again and by their own admission, pushed fence sitters to the yeah side. not my words, theirs. as for american imperialism in afghanistan, as opposed to silamic drug imperialism in afghanistan? oh i forgot, you probably blame the jews.
