For the last time, the terrorist group known as Al-Qaeda in Iraq was NOT in Iraq before the US led invasion. It simply didn’t exist. Furthermore, 95% of its combatons are foreign fighters who have come to Iraq for the sole purpose of attacking US troops and positions. When are our elected officials going to stop trying to connect Iraq to 9/11?!? Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.
Oh and BTW, Senator McCain, Al-Qaeda is associated with Sunni Islam - not Shi’ia:
MCCAIN: Do you still view al Qaeda in Iraq as a major threat?
PETRAEUS: It is still a major threat, though it is certainly not as major a threat as it was say 15 months ago.
MCCAIN: Certainly not an obscure sect of the Shi’ites overall?
PETREAUS: No.
MCCAIN: Or Sunnis or anybody else.
Get it straight, “straight-talker”!!!
Obama has Wright.

Let’s face it: the surge is not working. Just because we have diminished our definition of success does not a success make. Troops are still dying. Iraqis are still dying. There is no end in sight. Maliki is weak and ineffectual. Our resources are stretched beyond comprehension. The surge has been nothing more than a band-aide on a severed artery. And at the end of the day we are at the mercy of a radical Anti-American cleric.
Something to ponder: why do you think the Bush Team never bothered to put enough troops in Iraq to begin with? The Surge is the Bush Team’s half-ass response to pressure from all sides to do something constructive about the horrific situation in Iraq. Could it be that it was never the intention of the Bush Team to secure peace, prosperity and independence for Iraq in the first place? Hmmm …
Way to go mullahs! We ain’t gonna get no Armageddon if ya’ll put down that uranium. Jeez. Sooo glad we attacked Iraq! Read the story.
