4. Iraq has become the Grave yard of Al Qaeda not US troops

Answer 1

The Surge worked!! Our troops are all coming home; Iraq is a model of democracy for the rest of the Middle East; the US has regained world respect; terrorism is dead! The Surge worked!!

The Surge will rank with the great and glorious tide-turning victories like the Battle of Baghdad (6 years ago) and the Battle for Fallujah (4 years ago)!! The USA wins again!!

Answer 2

I believe this is the first question I've seen about Iraq today. (I'm an answerer, not an asker.)

" Iraqi Gov't Inaction Poses Grave Risks: US Officers
17 Killed in Sunday Bombing Wave"

My sources all say the various civil wars in Iraq are still going strong. Whoever told you the civil war is over was lying to you.

I notice you site no sources for your claims.

Although there's less fighting in Baghdad, there's more fighting elsewhere.

Yes, Bush is bringing home troops, but not because the war is over.

The Sunnis and Shia are still fighting each other, and the Shia are fighting each other, in various factions. Al Sadr's cease fire is still holding for the time being, which is responsible for much of the recuction you keep hearing about.

Turkey and the Kurds, and the Kurds an the non-Kurds in the Kurdish north are all heating up, not calming down.

Al Qaeda has never been a big player in Iraq; the people who've been saying that all along either don't know what they're talking about, or have been lying.

Answer 3

Lets see, according to the Pentagon's latest release of information, last Thursday, while the last 45 days have shown a decrease in violence in Baghdad, (from the surge) the rest of the nation did not, until the Iranians stopped sending weapons (a republican victory, so don't call me a liberal), which has resulted in a drop in the two weeks prior, nation wide.
we have now lost 3,876 troops to combat losses, with this year, even with the drop in Baghdad violence, being the deadliest year since we began.
Expected to pass 4,000 American children killed in chaney's war, by Christmas.
This is from the pentagon, boys and girls, not a liberal or conservative exaggerating, self important news organization. this is from the people who run the war.
Point one is ludicrous.
Point two is correct.
Point three- u seem to be the only person in the world that thinks Iraq is not in a civil war. Neither the President nor the Joint Chiefs do. (see pentagon report)
Point 4- "we have created a new generation of terrorist, worldwide, from former right leaning college students, making the world a much more dangerous place..." source; Pentagon update on the war in Iraq.
Point 4- deadliest year since we have been there, even w/ short term drop in Baghdad.
Point 5- go to the source, the pentagon
EDIT; the same report shows desertions the highest since the first year we were there, the highest since vietnam

Answer 4

"Iraq has become the graveyard of Al Qaeda" according to all the humanitarian agencies Iraq is also the Grave yard of nearly a million Iraqis who have died as a direct result of the invasion .Innocent people who did nothing to America or Americans .there was no Al Qaeda in Iraq until America along with that traitor Blair chose to attack a country that had done nothing to them
The troops are filtering back ...what about the 4 million Iraqi Refugees they cant go back so are they going to be left where they are living in tent camps with no income or are Iran Syria and Jordan expected to foot the bill for them for ever . According to the UN Iraq is the worst humanitarian crisis in the world today and thanks to the hundreds of tons of DU contaminating the country it will be in crisis for generations

Answer 5

Liberal right here...sure, i've got observed that the Sunnis and Shiites are beginning to unite returned and attempting to stay peacefully with one yet another. they are finally getting returned to the place they have been while we invaded Iraq! at that factor, they have been residing beside one yet another, inter-marrying, enjoying activities jointly, going to college jointly, and all quite peacefully, I bear in mind. Then, the insurgents started showing up in Iraq to get at our troops, and that they saved coming and coming. Now, hundreds have been killed and maimed and we stumble on ourselves attempting to get returned the place all of us started! Do you ask your self why some think of the Civil warfare has been a results of our invasion interior the 1st place?

Answer 6

Bagdad is now fully divided into ethnic zones, the cleansing is done. now down to the problem of the Soviet style government. All oil is owned by the government and the proceeds remaining after they filter through the US and Iraqi government hands , are handed out as welfare to the most threatening Iraqi groups first. Sadir quit fighting us because we are buying him off. Iraq is now a communist dictatorship just as with Sadam, Sadam had peace. Peace is not good sometimes.

Answer 7

Yah I noticed that the surge is working and I rarely hear about it on the news any more. Interesting huh... The media had an anti-war bias from the get-go it's hard to say it's going well. That'd be almost sounding like they support the war.

Answer 8

That's great news! Since everything is so hunky dory, let's pull the troops out. Home in time for Christmas.

Answer 9

Yep. The surge worked and troops are beginning to be rotated back home so they need to shine their spotlight on something else.
Master prestidigitators I say, masters!

Answer 10

You are not noticing it.

Iraq is still a mess.

They still have limited electrical power.

Violence is down to 2006 levels. HURRAY!

The networks are owned by the same corporate culture that is making huge profits off the war. Otherwise they would have been screeming at the top of their lungs about the egregious lies of the Bush administration since '03
