Those Iraqi civilians you are talking about were killed by terorists. The liberal press will call them insurgents. But anyone with a brain knows that blowing up innocent civilian people on a bus or in a building is an act or terrorism. McCain knows that Obama wants to end "the war" when that means letting the defenseless Iraqi civilians be slaughtered by the so called insurgents. INCREASING their deaths. If the liberal left would have been united in this war, it would be over by now. But with the big divide, the terrorists - oops, I mean insurgents, think they have a chance. So they keep at it. The sad part is the liberal leaders and liberal press KNOW they should be united in this war, but their political party love is greater than their love for our country and the love of innocent lives. And to divide over the war while we have our military over there is just obscene.

I guess McCain doesn't want Obama to throw a monkey wrench into the war between Russia and Georgia and make a political issue out of it. We need to be united just like we should in all wars.

The post wasn't necessarily about the numbers, but check an article on infoclearinghouse entitled; One Million Dead In Iraq/Our Own Holocaust Denial, here's the link:

The comment on partisanship and sniping was a quote from McCain.

Blame terrorists, or insurgents, or Al Quaida. None of it was on a grand scale problem until the U.S. invaded.
Every war has divided our country in some matter or another. It's a matter of history.

All but the most hardcore reality-deniers readily concede at this point that Iraq is a mess. And that presents a real problem for the Republican Party because there are only two plausible explanations for how things came to be this way: either our mission never had any chance of succeeding, or success was made impossible (or at least unlikely) by virtue of bad decisions on the part of the Bush administration post-invasion. In other words, our current predicament is either the result of an epic strategic blunder on the part of the Bush administration or colossal incompetence on the part of the Bush administration. Either way, the blame falls squarely, and unavoidably, on the Bush administration.

That said, I promise you that future generations of Republicans will subscribe to some alternative narrative which absolves the Republican party of responsibility for this mess and shifts the blame somewhere else. Just look at how most conservatives explain the outcome of the Vietnam War. We didn't lose in Vietnam because we were fighting an unwinnable war against a determined and popular local insurgency. No, we lost in Vietnam because liberals back home undermined the war effort and caused the nation to lose its will to fight. We were "stabbed in the back," so to speak.

This same charge is being repeated by neoconservatives today who accuse the "liberal media" of undermining the war effort and assert that all we need to achieve victory is the will to persevere. This argument is incredibly stale at this point, though, and has lost much of its resonance. What conservatives desp

Whether we should have gone to Iraq in the first place or not is one thing.
We are there now and it is a mess. If we left, it would be a bigger mess. A mass slaughter. The dummycrats know that success in Iraq will mean defeat for the liberal agenda. If we left Iraq, the civilian murders would increase, and the dummycrats would blame Bush. We have stayed, and they blame Bush. The liberals have been undermining the war from the start. Because to their selfish minds, their liberal agenda is more important than the lives of the Iraqis and our military. It is down right treason.
Although McCain is an idiot, he knows how selfish the liberals are. So he wants Obama to join the rest of the nation as one when responding to Russia.

Bush and the Republicans DESTROYED the image of the US in just 3 years. Heck, they pretty much DESTROYED the idea of the USA. We are no longer the country with the highest standards of fairness, morals and ethics any longer. In fact, I'd say we are at the bottom of the list. Well done.

Nah, must have been my imagination. ITS gone now.

WD--you do realize that once the US stoops to the level of rogue nations that we lose all credibility and 'all gloves are off', don't you?

More McCain crack from the McCrack McCain followers to total destruction. Mr. No Hope and his new "Created manufactured Virtual Cold War in Georgia. Iraq is on vacation and McCain left with nothing as he is just old, crusty, and dusty, so called war hero. The 100 Million Dollar Man in his $500.00 shoes, talking to his average american friends. Dead wrong on Anthrax, wrong on Iraq, and claims to be right on the "surge" Mr. No Hope of the Bush/Cheney Halliburton Regime. I will do anything to be President even if it is for the day, the night, or what's left of my life!

All "Betts" are off when it comes to McCain and his 100 year war. Mr. Paraphrased and Unclear lying to the American People just like Bush did, all in the name of that "pipeline" and his Royal Dutch portfolio.

Screw Iraq and that conflict, it wasn't mine in the first place McCain. I lied because I was guaranteed to be the "Presumptive Nominee" Ooohh Yipppee See I did it. Now we are looking at WWIII with Russia to protect the lies and "BREATHTAKING ABUSES OF THE CONSTITUTION"

Good weekend to spend with the family, because these guys, are willing to go to their graves with their lies and continued deceipt on America and our existence as America!

WD73, it's hard to get people to stand back and look at the big picture sometimes, but this finger pointing at others while we do the same thing just amazes me. I can't help but feel we will soon not be the world's superpower, more for lack of respect than anything else. We've been told more than once that we have no business lecturing anyone while our own system is corrupt and broken. I worked in the travel industry for many years and had the privilege to meet people from all over the globe. They spoke of the same things I mention here, but more than anything, many find us arrogant and they can't wait to see us get our arses kicked. Since I was on the job I couldn't really say much of course, but I don't think it's a good thing that many in the world see us this way. I thought and still think we're better than that.

i guess we forget about the 750,000 and counting sadamm and his thugs killed before we ever went into iraq. bambi,there should be a law that you can not vote if you dont know what the hell you are talking about.CAGEDVOTER,MAN TURN OFF THE PROGRESSIVE RADIO DUDE,YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE YOURSELF A STROKE.
