I am absolutely furious every time I hear the
words Success and Iraq in the same sentence.
How can Iraq be a success when we have KILLED 1.2 million of its citizens.
How can Iraq be a success when over 4 million have been displaced from their homes.
How can Iraq be a success when over 2 million have been displaced from their own country.
How can Iraq be a success when thousands of young girls have had to go into prostitution to provide for their families.
How can Iraq be a success when throughout Iraq, and not just in the area near Kuwait in the south, the country's infrastructure has been largely destroyed.

I could go on and on, but you know already.

The two words Success and Iraq should NEVER be used in conjunction. Its one of the things that we should hit McSame on HARD and OFTEN.

1. Iraqi civilian casualties have never been a priority for Americans
People turned against this war because American deaths and wounds were mounting. Iraqi civilians were never part of the consideration for the people in that Great American Majority.

If the US had killed 2 million Iraqi civilians, and American casualties were sparse, I'm sure the American public would still cheerfully support this war.

2. As unthinkable as it is...
Edited on Sat Jul-26-08 05:49 PM by Mr_Jefferson_24
...if you define success the way the genocidal empire building criminals that engineered this massive war crime do, the words can be used together.

If these people aren't brought to justice there will be no recovering any remnants of our national soul -- if you believe in such a thing.
