I thought George HW Bush said that going into Iraq would be STUPID and a QUAGMIRE and basically a NIGHTMARE... I guess his dumbass son knew better than the Ex Director of the CIA - also a TRUE War Hero to boot.
A suicide car bombing at a checkpoint in Baghdad has killed five police officers and wounded 10 other people, police said.

Nanny, Nanny boo boo Bush won again. And now i get to listen to you cry more and more. The war on terror is going to be LONG. VERY VERY LONG, FOR YEARS TO COME. So what would have happened if we didn't do anything. Iraq is just a starting point. All kinds of terrorists are coming to Iraq to fight. It doesn't matter where it starts, it had to start in the middle east with the elimination of terrorism. Many of you don't look at the big picture. The domino effect that Afghanistan started will continue. Althrough not perfect yet, the middle east will one day be turned around. But, it could be too late.......Over the 8 years of former President Clinton, terrorism grew out of control with MULTIPLE attacks on U.S. citizans and facilities. My only fear is that i hope George Bush didn't wate too late to start fighting this sh*t. Cuz obviously terrorits will go to no end to kill innocent people. 3,000 dead in New York i guess wasn't enough over the long haul to keep the push on the war on terror. Maybe the embassy bombings, USS Cole, and many more over the past 12 years or so should just be let go and forgot about. If you could put terrorism on a scale, it's done nothing but increased over time. NOW is the time to stop it, if its not already to late.
Terrorists kill anyone. 3,000 of our innocent citizans, hostages, even now that women from Iraq....a WOMAN, they don't care. They are brain washed by radicalist. We are killing off the radicals faster than they are being brain washed. It will take a few years, but over time it will work.

Because you don't need to be smart to vote. That's why.
"Iraq is just a starting point"
That is stating you believe the invasion of Iraq was part of the war on terror.
You are flat-out wrong. And Infohawk answered your question as well as you did yourself.
You'd think if the insurgents' backs were broken there'd be no problem with reconstruction projects.The insurgency in Iraq poses a bigger obstacle to rebuilding Sunni-dominated parts of the country today than it did six weeks ago, the coordinator of U.S. reconstruction aid said Friday.
William Taylor, speaking from Baghdad in a video teleconference with reporters at the Pentagon, said the problem has grown worse in the Sunni Triangle north and west of Baghdad, and in Mosul, the city in northern Iraq where insurgents briefly overran police stations earlier this week.
Taylor is director of the Iraqi Reconstruction Management Office in the U.S. Embassy.
"In the Sunni areas and then up in Mosul it is worse today than it was, and we're having greater difficulties from security," he said. "We're worried that in some areas - again, not all - in some areas it would now be difficult to have elections," and so it is important that reconstruction work speed up so that voting can take place nationwide in late January, Taylor added.
He said reconstruction is proceeding without much problem in southern and northeastern Iraq.
Charles Hess, director of reconstruction contracting, appeared with Taylor and said that although "security is still a serious concern," U.S. officials believe they can overcome it.
"One of our mechanisms to deal with that, frankly, is to start as many projects as we can, given the fact that we know the insurgents can't be everywhere," Hess said. "Consequently, the more projects we start, we are moving Iraqis out, we're getting them employed, they are doing meaningful labor, they're restoring their country, and in and of itself that is a very positive and powerful thing we want to accomplish between now and the elections in January."
Hess said insurgent sabotaqe is a problem, particularly in the oil industry that is the backbone of Iraq's economy.
Taylor said upward of $100 million in U.S. and Iraqi government funds will be spent to rebuild Fallujah, which suffered extensive damage during the U.S. offensive this month. He said security there is not yet sufficient to begin reconstruction but that within a week or two he expects to start restoring basic services like electricity, water and sewage. He said $8 million is earmarked for water supply improvements and $4 million to build four new schools.
Of the $18.4 billion in Iraq reconstruction funds allocated by Congress last year, only $1.7 billion has been spent, Hess said, an increase of about $400 million from six weeks ago. He said 873 construction projects have been started, up from 703 six weeks ago. The goal is to have 1,000 started by year's end.
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- The region of Iraq that contains the fastest routes from Baghdad south to Shiite shrines in Najaf and Karbala has become a paid killing zone where a dead American is worth $3,000.
Though less heralded, the so-called "triangle of death" is at least as dangerous as the better known rebel areas to Baghdad's west, including Fallujah and Ramadi.
Many Shiite Muslims, Westerners and members of the Iraqi security services in the so-called triangle have become the victims of Sunni Muslim insurgents and gunmen. Many militants are reportedly seeking hefty bounties.
The price list puts Americans at the top of the most-wanted list, commanding a $3,000 bounty. It's $2,000 for an Iraqi national guardsman and $1,000 for a Shiite. That's according to a member of the major Shiite political party.

Based on your posts it also seems like you think that one side winning an election makes them right, or better. That is not how democracy works. Democracy means the side with most votes (generally) gets to rule. It doesn't make one side smarter or more correct. Cheers.
