Source: Detroit area. Home of 500,000 Arabs. ( In three county area ) Iraq man stated to me this morning at the Big Boy restaurant in Mt Clemens that the USA is spinning their wheels and will never win in Iraq. The war is lost he said. The Iraqi man said the Iraq people want the troops out of their country and will not accept the puppet government that Bush set up. Then the intense Iraqi man looked at me and said something that chilled me to the bone. He said "Your American men and women are dying for nothing and the Iraqi people do not care at all about the deaths of the Americans". Then he turned around to eat and just shook his head.

Bush hung Tenat out to dry about four years ago. Did you watch the 60 Minutes interview? The Bush administration needed a fall guy for 911 and the WMD/Iraq fiasco. Rather than admitting to a mistake, the administration "threw Tenet from the train". Tenet has admitted mistakes. Specifically he admitted to not looking at Bush's 2002 State of the Union Address and warning him that there was faulty information. Bush has never admitted to making a mistake. Who do you think is lying? Tenet claims that the CIA warned the administration that AlQuaeda was planning a huge attack on the American soil in which thousands of American live would possibly be lost. and the administration ignored the warning. The 911 Commission uncovered a presidential briefing which warned the president of an imminent attack. Is there any wonder why, at first, the president opposed a commission to look into 911?

Opinions are like A*s holes just about every ones got one. Just because he does not want the US there does not mean other Iraqi's don't. And how sure are you he was an Iraqi do you know him? He might just be from the Middle East and told you he was, so don't believe every thing your told, I use to live in Walled Lake Mi. dealt with a lot of foreigners.

According to Juan Cole, the pre-eminent Middle East historian in the U.S., when we first invaded about 25% of the Iraqis opposed us. Now 75% say its OK to kill Americans. Why? Destroying Falluja, killing thousands of innocent people, breaking down innocent people's doors in the middle of the night and pawing the women's underwear, shooting people at checkpoints because they don't understand English, and of course Abu Ghraib.
Juan Cole also said that in Middle Eastern culture you get honor by generosity to guests - and before the war Americans were especially welcome. Now that has changed. Americans get the cold shoulder.
Those neocons who call for bombing innocent civilians to death ignore just don't get it - innocent civilians were already bombed to death - and those were people who might have welcomed you or me into their home. Calling anti-war liberals or Iraqis "Islamofascists" is just plain stupid. And that's why we're losing - too many stupid people who started a war we never should have been in in the first place.

Actually, we (the United States of America) Could win this war in one day, if all the libs would keep there mouths closed for awhile, and accept the fact that innocent people always get killed in war. That is the reason why we are not winning the war as quick as we should be. Why? You ask? because we have not bombed the heck out of the cut throat, chicken little, dumbells!! Bring in the Bombers, and start Bombing!!!
I wonder why the "Iraq Man" came to this country??

Nice thing about this country is everyone is entitled to their own opinion. This Iraqi sounds like a know-it-all however he is in Detroit not Baghdad. Take him with a grain of salt.

He was an islamofascist. I suppose he loved Saddam in power. The only reason for that is because he didn't live there. He actually lives in the greatest country on earth.

Of course. No one wants troops from thousands of miles away patroling the streets of their country. I know I would be upset to see foriegn tanks rolling down my street.
