How do we overcome these obstacles in Iraq?
Date published: 12/11/2007
President Bush's Oct. 7 Cincinnati speech outlined the reasons for an invasion of Iraq. Two of his key assertions were contradicted by Gen. Petraeus' testimony before Congress. Asked if al-Qaida was in Iraq before we invaded, and if Saddam's government was involved in the 9/11 attacks, he said "no." How was the American populace swayed from attacking bin Laden to invading Iraq? Hermann Goering said, "Naturally the common people don't want war but after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy. It is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether a democracy, fascist dictatorship, parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country." If victory is a democratic Iraq, how do we overcome these ominous obstacles? 1) The strengthening Shiite ties between Maliki and Ahmadinejad. (2) Iraqi leaders declaring national reconciliation impossible because of entrenched sectarian animosity. (3) Iraq is the third most corrupt country in the world; corruption is called the second insurgency there. (4) The mass exodus of Iraq's middle-class professionals. (5) Kurdish solicitation of foreign investment in

It is true Phantom. As much as I can't stand the President, I truly feel sorry him. Not to sound trashy, but he is like a "used up" call girl at a bachelor's party. There for a reason and after the reason is taken care of, no one really wants to be associated with it. I am not trying to be funny, that is how I feel. He is so dumb and ignorant, yes America it true, that he could be persuaded like he has. I cannot believe what the true feelings of his father must be about his performance as a leader.

Indeed Iraq is "stablizing" due to Gen. Petraius finally getting to do what he suggested in 03. No one will deny that. A national poll said today most Americans are more optimistic about Iraq, but still feel the war was a mistake and failure. Will Iraq "go our way" who knows. What is "our way" (hint it has something to do with no bid contractors getting their greedy hands on that oil). Alas, the USA is teetering on recession, the dollar is down, and we are in serious debt. Back to you Mattg.
Hmmm

Iraqi's are moving back by the 10's of thousands, the violence is down very significantly... so much that even the Ney York Times and Sen Murtha can no longer ignore it. But you do? Interesting.
