religious fundamentalism is the symptom, not the cause. It's all about class war.

[bfq3000]

great interview... there's not enough real coverage of iraq anymore

[sng1977]

they give way we think they are fighting they hold off to see what we do.

I love how all these idiots pretend that this fake "Iraqi government" has some power.

Their power is exactly ZERO, Maliki is Bush's personal butler, and all the decisions will be made in Washington.

Iraqi "sovereignty" and their SOFA means N-O-T-H-I-N-G.

The Crusaders will be leaving because their electorate is tired of war after 6 years, so they elected a president who campaigned on ending the war.

And the IDIOT DEAD MAN WALKING NURI AL-MALIKI has NOTHING to do with it.

I take neither the Israeli side nor the Arab/Muslim/what-ever-you-want­-to call-them side, I take the American side because I am an American.

"Muslim world with prejudice and sweeping stereotype"

I can't very well explain the entire goals and views of the Ba'ath party in 500 letters. Nor would that serve any purpose, as you can easily look that up yourself.

[oclandestin]

It's difficult to tell from your comments whether you have a problem with Israel or Muslims and "Arabs". You seem to view the Muslim world with prejudice and sweeping stereotypes but also make anti-Zionist comments. So which is it?

[dirtyboy830]

"Iraq was never a threat to Israel"

Saddam paid families Palestinian suicide bombers thousands of dollars. The stated goal of the Ba'ath party is to unite the Arab world and destroy Israel. Occupation of Syria, Lebanon, etc is not necessary as they don't possess the resources Iraq does.

"about oil"

I know all about the petro-dollar. But the fact of the matter is that we would be happily trading oil with the Arab/Muslim world if Israel never existed.

[oclandestin]

"holding back the Arabs" in Afghanistan? Afghans are not "Arabs" and the Taliban are not "Arabs". It's the Taliban the US and their allies claim to be fighting. The invasion of Iraq has always been about oil, hence the Iraq oil laws being pushed through and involvement of US oil companies. Iraq was never a threat to Israel. The US would be occupying Syria, Lebanon etc if that was their intent. Israel is armed to the teeth by the USA and has nuclear weapons, unlike any regional neighbour.

Fap fap fap.

[kuntsavage]

well they should give them independence know saddams gone and they have a democratically elected government you never change there culture of killing thou.

[kuntsavage]

there not even stealing there oil its going to china.

[dirtyboy830]

Well, yea, we're there to protect Israel. Israel will only exist for as long as they can hold back the Arabs. We're in Iraq and Afghanistan, holding back the Arabs. If Israel is destroyed there is no more reason to be there and in order for Israel to not be destroyed our military has to have a strong presence there.

So, we're not going to leave there until Israel ceases to exist.
