Too damn risky to have it in Iraq.

And, of course, whatever diplomats get a hardship posting to Iraq travel
under armed guard everywhere they go in Iraq, since even the might US
military forces cannot make the country "safe," not even for those
traveling the short distance from the Baghdad airport to the "green" zone.


Mission accomplished.

Geez, don't take Dan to literally. All his "facts" come from an email
that made the rounds a year or so ago.

Harry,
You are the one first person I heard who wanted to bomb Iraq. The
difference is you wanted to bomb the entire country into dust. The
difference is your are an idiot.

And this is what their price brought:


... the first battalion of the new Iraqi Army has graduated and is on
active duty.

... over 60,000 Iraqis now provide security to their fellow citizens.

Ahh, today's talking points from the BushLies Administration. Got them
down pat, eh, Danno?

I think over 60 countries established embassies in Iraq too... it's
either 58 or 60 -- but around that number...


So what?

I found your list interesting only in that it showed that we're paying to
rebuild much of what we destroyed, and some years from now, the Iraqis
will have what infrastructure and facilities they had before we bomed
them.

Big woop.

Your US taxpayer dollars at work.
You pay to bomb 'em
you pay to re-build.
Who benefits...besides the defense contractors & Haliburton?

Most of them seem legit. Snopes has this listed as undetermined, but the few
links they provide agree that most if not all of these are in fact true.

Don't know if I was part of that motley crew, but I am glad you jumped on me
for such a stupid mistake. I wish I could blame it on my spell check, it
might have been a brain fart or multi-tasking, but none the less, that is
one stupid mistake.

"Your" doing mankind a favor by jumping on me. ; )

.....except that as late as this past spring, our own commanders, on the
ground in Iraq, have stated that Iraqi troops and police were woefully
unprepared. This directly contradicts what that email said 2 years ago about
thousands of Iraqi military protecting their own citizens.

Just about everyone makes that mistake once in awhile........there is only
one person that consistantly does it (as well as mistakingly using "you're"
when "your" is correct) and doing it when he is spell or grammar flaming
someone else.....

Paul,
Everyone might make that mistake occasionally, but I am glad Don did me a
favor by pointing out my fax paux. I would hate for anyone to confuse me
with Kevin.
