How did we lose 9 troops and one helicopter today in Baghdad?

Question

I thought McCain said that it was so safe in Baghdad that Americans could go to the market like he did when he was there last week?

Fund & Build, once your reply goes over two paragraphs and turns into a small book, the rest of it is just basically blah blah blah ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Sgreger, have you watched the news lately, it's Friday morning at 6:00 A.M.... it's nine dead now!

Answer 1

McCain has been reborn as a loyal Bushie, one would think with the experience of being a POW in another war the U.S. should not have gotten itself with in Vietnam, he should understand that the U.S. Military does not belong in Iraq. Getting rid of Saddam Hussein just turned Iraq into one great killing country. Loyal Bushies are in complete denial and do not have any plans other than staying in Iraq forever.

Answer 2

It needs to be looked after difficult and quickly and shortly. The source needs to be discovered and deleted and that i have a feeling Obama with all the intelligence given to him is conscious precisely the position it really is yet is attempting to be the silver tongued snake and communicate his way through. we are coping with radicals that do not concern lack of life, so enable's provide it them in a wide dose. i comprehend a lot of folk who won't be able to watch for searching season, enable's provide them some practice or do the former fishing trick of dynamite in a unmarried huge tremendous dose.

Answer 3

I ehard the general this morning talk bout it, 9 did not die, 4 of 9 were injured, ther est were fine:

"A U.S. Army helicopter went down south of Baghdad Thursday, injuring four of the nine soldiers aboard"

Also, no one is saying its compeltely safe, but that is safe enough to where you can walk around in it which is definately a first. Its is by no means paficied.

Answer 4

enemy action.
Mc Cain showed it was safe, so now they have to show it is not. Sad, but that's how it works.
Sooner or later they'll get caught and it will be safe again. Then maybe some other goon will come in from Iran or Syria, and it will be dangerous again. And whoever sticks it to the last, will win

Answer 5

It is safer than Prince George's County, Maryland!

Answer 6

More Americans killed by illegal aliens than Iraq war, study says
By Jim Brown
AgapePress
February 22, 2007

(AgapePress) -- Illegal aliens are killing more Americans than the Iraq war, says a new report from Family Security Matters that estimates some 2,158 murders are committed every year by illegal aliens in the U.S. The group says that number is more than 15 percent of all the murders reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the U.S. and about three times the representation of illegal aliens in the general population.

Mike Cutler, a former senior special agent with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (the former INS), is a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies and an advisor to Family Security Matters (FSM). He says the high number of Americans being killed by illegal aliens is just part of the collateral damage that comes with tolerating illegal immigration.

"The military actually called for the BORTAC team, ... the elite unit of the Border Patrol, to be detailed to Iraq to help to secure the Iraqi border," Cutler notes. "Now, if our military can understand that Iraq's security depends in measure on the ability to protect its border against insurgents and terrorists, then why isn't our country similarly protecting our own borders?" he asks.

"We are not five and a half years, nearly, after 9/11, and yet our borders remain open," the Center for Immigration Studies fellow observes. "We have National Guardsmen assigned on the border, but it turns out they are unarmed," he points out. "Their rules of engagement are very simple: if armed intruders head your way, run in the other direction."

This situation would "almost be comical if it wasn't so tragic," Cutler asserts. "If our borders are wide open, this means that drugs, criminals, and terrorists are entering our country just as easily as the dishwashers," he says.

The report from FSM estimates that the 267,000 illegal aliens currently incarcerated in the nation are responsible for nearly 1,300,000 crimes, ranging from drug arrests to rape and murder. Such statistics, Cutler contends, debunk the claim that illegal immigration is a victimless crime. "Then we even have another problem," he adds, "and that's the Visa Waiver Program."

The federal government's Visa Waiver Program enables nationals of certain countries to travel to the United States for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa. According to the U.S. State Department website, the waiver program was established in 1986 with the objective of "eliminating unnecessary barriers to travel," stimulating America's tourism industry, and allowing the government to focus consular resources in other areas.

Cutler says the U.S. retains the Visa Waiver Program because the nation's travel, tourism, and hospitality industries want America's borders wide open. In other words, the former INS official contends, the nation's security is being compromised in the name of trade.
