What did you Say Gen. Pace? Iraq is going very, very well??

[bluerum]

1. Starting to resemble Viet Nam more and more every day. eom

2. Sure does resemble Vietnam just replace the green with tan.

Otherwise, same old lies and baloney that we are supposed to believe. Didn't believe it then, sure don't believe it now.

4. Mean-while- Bush & Rumsfeld say that they're trying to avoid civil war

but have no-plan there-after if it started tomorrow -- absolutely clueless as what to do, would they perhaps cosider getting our troops the hell out of there ASAP!!?

5. Has anyone else noticed...

6. "..things are going very, very, well.." Gen. Pace, Chairman JCS.

Pace put events in Iraq in perspective and said he is pleased with the progress being made in the country. "I wouldn't put a great big smiley face on it, but things are going very, very well,"

7. then gen. pace is as stoopid and dangerous as bush.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

9. When is he gonna say the thing about the light @ the end of the tunnel?

8. War - what is it good for?

I think everyone who voted republican should be required to have their own kids serve in the military. See war isn't so fun when your sending your own kids to bleed in this damnable useless nightmare.
