I agree with Surfguy mostly. One might think, hey, let's just split this place up into Sunni, Shiite, and Kurd states but so many countries with...
I don't get why Abizaid and other generals see what is going on now, and if the guys on the ground in command don't think they need more troops,...

The majority doesn't really matter if our occupation force cannot guarantee the safety of anyone outside *our* concrete enclosures. But at least...
Is it just me or does George Will reference Bolsheviks in every other column he writes?
OK, I don't get why the guys at the top insist they need less troops instead of more. Apparently we are attempting to take over one city,...
The media is misrepresenting Iraq, it's not like the US versus Vietnam, it's more like the Soviet Union versus the Taliban. Heck, at the rate we...
