Old-fashioned Catholic User ID: 107194 United States 06/19/2006 12:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One employee said criticism of the U.S. had grown so severe that most of her family believes the U.S. "is punishing populations as Saddam did." Quoting: Breaking 106997It is sad that it took Iraqis, and some of us, three years to figure this out. The American empire is no better than the Roman empire at its most decadent, and the American dictator Cheney exceeds Nero in cruelty. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 106483 United States 06/19/2006 07:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just a few weeks ago I posted an article Quoting: DrPostmanabout how the Voice of America couldn't find anyone to staff their Baghdad bureau, while at the same time bitching about how reporters never go out and do stories on the successes over there. No link you stink! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72054We are trying to step back more and more so that we can bring our soldiers home. Reports like this make it seem impossible. This is not like Iraq used to be, and is the direct result of the war, the fundamentalist islamic are now trying to take control of the country while under Hussein they where irrilevant. Good job USA. |

bubba595kurt User ID: 102952 United States 06/19/2006 11:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes.. Saddam did torture and kill innocent Iraqis that did not fit his politics.... That is the Republicans' justification for spending 1/3 of a trillion dollars of OUR money to invade Iraq to kill one person.. Saddam... who is still alive. Wouldn't it have been a bit easier to just assassinate Saddam as opposed to an all out war against all peoples of Iraq? Our CIA and NSA don't have enough intelligence to kill ONE person!!!!!!! Lee Harvey Oswald.. the "lone gunman" was able to kill the leader of the free world. ONE GUY!! I do believe that Lee Harvey Oswald killed Kennedy. But I am sure he was influenced by Cuba, Russia, the Mafia or whomever to commit the act. But he killed him. So... the Bush Admin. and most Republicans' rationale for invading Iraq is to basically kill off one person.... Our country, the most powerful country in the world... with the supposedly best covert operations group.. could not assassinate one person.. from a THIRD WORLD COUNTRY!... ???? Let's make one thing clear. We did not invade Iraq to spread our democracy to Iraq. We invaded Iraq and waged an all out war against a 3rd world country in order to secure their basically untapped oil resources and to establish a military presence in the Mideast to protect Israel... That is the facts. |
WOTIF User ID: 52913 United States 06/19/2006 11:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | --Since April, the "demeanor" of guards in the Green Zone has changed, becoming more "militia-like," and some are now "taunting" embassy personnel or holding up their credentials and saying loudly that they work in the embassy: "Such information is a death sentence if overheard by the wrong people." For this reason, some have asked for press instead of embassy credentials. "For at least six months, we have not been able to use any local staff members for translation at on-camera press events." So are these US guards in the Green zone, or are they Iraqi guards. If its such a wrong thing, why does the embassador allow it, or why can he not stop it. if its American Guards, why are they doing it. and Why are Iraqi guards allowed to continue to do it. when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 82362 United States 06/19/2006 11:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | this might be a little off subject, but if the american people really want to see and end to this war; 1. send all reporters home 2. let the u.s. military do what they need to do (kill who they need to kill by whatever means). 3. troops will be home in 90 days. this has worked in all wars since the begining of time. police action will not work (what we are doing now), only a ruthless slaughter of the enemy will work. prove me wrong? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 90730 United States 06/19/2006 11:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 82362, And if you condone what you put forth, you are no better than the criminal elements that got the world into this in the first place! But most American's think like that, and considering they feel that we HAD to hit Iraq, and use removing Saddam as their reasoning, refuse to see that it's much worse over there under the Bush Militarized Machine, than it was under Saddam. |
