Answer 1

I guess you weren't watching the Petraeus Report.

Your lies will never work. But keep it up. You are going to have a lot of crow to eat in the coming months.

Answer 2

well to all you decenters .

The surge is a failure . the entire policy is a failure. the goal is a failure. all the objectives and plans are a failure. it is the current goverments fault for this failure.

the generals like all generals are lieing about success in any part of this campaign. this is wth way of things.

what is not a faillure are the soldiers of all the militaries that are there doing an impossible job. with out good leadership from the top and not enough support fighting this ileagle war and immopral war. bless these men and women who try to do it right, but not the war criminals

G W BUSH as a war president as he like to be called. he is a miserable failure at the job. He is to blame

I blame the American voters for voteing him in the second time and then buying his pack of lies to start the war. how many more of our young will we let him kill.

I do not wish to loose another son of mine to this war. I have one left and bush will not let him out of the combat zone as the law says he should be out of it.

Bush is possibly the worst president the USA has ever known and he is the most dangerous person to the security and safty of the USA and the known world. HE is to blame

Answer 3

When somebody figures out how to stop the daily suicide bombers and IED, the policy won't be a failure anymore. If I could do anything about it I would ask a panel of scientists, experts in explosives, and a panel of military personnel how to do it. If our military keeps on doing the same thing over and over they will get the same results: our servicemen and women dying every day.
They need to do something different.

Answer 4

IF it is in fact a failure I blame the media which happen to be rooting for the terrorists and do everything they can to advance their cause. They must be successful because they have people like you asking these kinds of questions.

Answer 5

when the myth over shadows the truth print the myth
yes you say it over and over again till someone believes it
notice the same people who call us the oppressive occupying force don't mention that U.N. troops still occupy kosovo, because that was a clinton/u.n. occupation, nor do they mention the 7 years of german occupation after WWII
maybe because that was an F.D.R. deal?

Answer 6

Blame the Iraqi government! their the ones taking vacations, they need to stick to a time table and get the hell out of there. But there's shitt going on behind the scenes that you don't see, Some are you guys are looking at the left hand when the right hand is pulling rabbits out of the other.

Answer 7

The failure of any American military operation ultimately falls on the shoulder's of the Commander in Chief.

Answer 8

Just because the Media and Joe Biden think it is a failure does not make it so. Quit being poisoned against your own country by the angry socialists on the left side of the aisle.

Answer 9

I don't know how you came to that conclusion. The military part of the surge is working well, the political goals are lagging. I think that is more on the Iraqi's than our involvement.
