Because of the Bush polices of not providing enough troops, and one screw up after another, the biggest mistake has been not taking the advise that was offered, you know King George is always right!

The insurgents have found ways to get money,the problem is that how we know they get their money is being leaked to the press who the blab it to the world.
It is also known that most of the insurgents are not from Iraq and there has been a story circulating around lately that they are receiving weapons and supplies through Iran as well as the known countries like Syria.
Our intelligence information has to be shared with Congressional oversight committees so any congressperson or staff member opposed to the war could leak the info with no problem.

Since the military is being hamstrung in really executing the war using our full might, the perception has become that we are being beaten. And the media simply perpetuates that belief. The insurgents are growing more powerful because we are forcing our troops to fight a "politically correct" war.

Well, the insurgents believe that they are fighting for their land of birth, or, if they are not Iraqis, for someone else's land of birth. Oligarchs from Russia-who found refuge in other countries, and tell despicable lies about the democratically elected Russian government-should learn from these insurgents that there are people in the world, who, unlike them, care about other people-even if they are not millioners and even if it is impossible to benefit from them-and have some kind of ideology.

george bush eanted to fight terrorism in Iraq, what he did not count on is that there is an endless supply of freedom fighters, who see this as a very just and worthwile cause, and plenty of rich individuals all over the world are supporting them.
