Is this true? If it is we are making 2 more insurgents for everyone we kill and that makes for an unwinable situtation.

i just wonder why the administration is not reporting these numbers? Is it because at least half that number are really civilians, women, and children?

Paula Zhan show tonight.

1. Ooooh boy.... killing insurgents. I thought the bullshit story was that
we were trying to rid the world of AN IDEA. The idea that you can achieve justice by blowing up civilian targets. I thought we were going after TERRORISTS. I didn't think we were going after men women and children WHO HAVE LOST THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS AT THE END OF OUR SMARTBOMBS.

8. Syria equals Cambodia (with complications)
Because when BushCo goes in there grabbing and bashing, the rest of Islam will see without fail that this is but the next escalation of an ugly massive perverse fear-and-ignorance driven Crusade. They will feel they must strike back for their own survival. BushCo is provoking a wide, wide war.

5. If that's the case we should have been through "those few remaining
dead enders" some time ago. I guess we are tuely in the "last throes."
