| Anonymous Coward User ID: 341721  Ireland03/15/2008 11:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The republican warmongers and brainless media always fail to mention that any reduction in violence was due to the ceasefire called by Shia leader Sadr, and not because of any fucking surge. The next surge will be the one towards the the airplanes that the troops fly home on. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 356757 United States03/15/2008 12:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Read it. it says the "IRAQI LEADERS" failed to take advantage of the sucess of the "Surge" to get shit done. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 352419The military didn't fail in it's mission to curb the violence. Iraq and the Iraqi people are failing themselves. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter whose failure it is, the bottom line is it is a failure of U.S. policy in Iraq. This war was never about military boots on the ground, it is about getting people who have never gotten along to get together and build a nation together, this is something that the U.S. is much more eager to accomplish than the Iraqi's themselves. So the surge worked in terms of squelching violence for a period of time but with no political advances being made toward forging the nation. What is the timeframe before al-Sadr and his army have had enough and ratchet up the violence again? |

| A Spiritual Traveler User ID: 367293 United States03/15/2008 12:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The surge has forced the war to safer havens for Al-CIAda. They have moved the front to Pakistan. This war was about OIL when the front was in Iraq. But the focus has changed and now this war is about Pakistan's NUKES. These NUKES are now the prize, and are in grave danger of being set into a free-for-all. The irony is that Iraq didn't have any WMD, but Pakistan does, and their NUKES are about to be set free and there's probably little our Idiot-in-chief can do about it. The war on Iraq will go down as THE WORST STRATEGIC BLUNDER ANYONE HAS EVER MADE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD! |
| TexasRexusMundi User ID: 392897 United States03/15/2008 12:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Failure or success....pure Orwellian semantical games. Sheesh! ...like the economy, the point(of the war) was to induce chaos and fashion order out of it. See? And to the point of them (Sunni- Shia- or Moslem-Hindu (in another setting) getting along... before the RIAA's MI6 began destabilising middle eastern peoples for their future energy agenda, these people (like all others) got along, mostly, intermarrying, working for each other, ect. Face it; there has never been until very recently, the ability to manipulate perception, which is what then creates 'reality' (en masse)... this ability to 'globally' affect consciousness will attempt to be harnessed. Thus, creating rifts betwixt groups of all sizes, at all levels is part and parcel of the new world order agenda. It is not even a secret, so don't react to the semantical impact of the aforementioned. It is discussed in meetings of business and political leaders and think tanks all the time. In the case of the economy- why not crush a currency, group of business concerns, a people even- when their usefulness has been realized and outlived? |

It is hard to believe there are people this stupid in the world. Yet occasionally one of you make a post like this to remind me. It also surprises me a little that General Betrayus took his lips off George Bush's ass long enough to say anything. |

No agenda boy, what it means is that you are one of those tards that insists on interpreting "a drop in violence" as "failure" of the surge. Petraeus clearly stated his position that the Iraqis failed to take advantage of what we gave them. Stop trying to twist his words for your agenda. |

So please tell me that you thought this surge was going to solve the problem in Iraq. Tell me motherfucker how stupid you really are. What the fuck are you trying to say?? Nothing!!! You have nothing to fucking say. Great, the surge slowed the violence. Well, no fucking shit. There was barely anybody left in Iraq. Until you and our government can admit the "real" reason of invading Iraq, then there can never be a "real" outcome. |
