Where has the War in Iraq Disappeared to?

Where has the War in Iraq Disappeared to?

More proof How badly the MSM wants failure in Iraq

Where have all the headlines about Iraq gone to? Now that the surge is working and deaths are down, car bombings down, Civilian deaths down, our troop deaths down to pre-war levels suddenly Iraq has become a tenth page story.

Just another show of how badly the MSM and the Liberal far left want defeat in Iraq and any show of winning there drives them to the point of insanity.

Not even the most crazed far left loons can spin this winning streak we are on {except colgangrene}. While Bush has mismanaged the war he has finally done something right with the advent of the surge, but to read the papers you would never know it! not a peep, no congratulations for him. This must be like a dagger in the heart of the left because as we know good news from Iraq is bad news for them politically.

Yet people still insist that there is not left slant to the news, I wonder how they can continue to insist this after shouting from the rooftops every blood filled event that happens, every gory detail, holding our brave men and women to standards that no other military in the world has to behave like, never giving our troops the benefit of the doubt in any type of bad behavior, painting our troops to be like the hoards of Mongols, never printing a retraction when they are wrong {the MSM} yet in success they tuck their tails between their legs and slink off into the night and suddenly they focus on much more important matters like what color dress Britney Spears is wearing or will O.J. Simpson go to trial, anything other than the success of the surge!!

I base my opinion on a set of orders to go into Southern Iraq to set up Logistical Base Romeo for the purpose of supporting the push into Baghdad. Of course, ever since I've been home I've heard that Prs. Bush never intended to topple the Hussein regime.

As I see it, the Coalition was Prs. Bush (Sr)'s greatest accomplishment, and biggest blunder. That, and the UN's "blessing".

Yup. As far as Bush Sr.'s intentions, I think he listened to his political advisers and not his gut on leaving SH in power. It relates back to what I was writing before: having those missing facts changes the truth forever. It makes me feel just a little small.
Peace! To work I go....

No, I don't blame Bush Sr. much for it all. He built up the coalition and made getting UN approval a priority. The fact is, toppling Hussein would have broken up the coalition and caused the UN to rescind its approval. I still think we should have done it, but when you live by diplomacy and UN "mother may I" games, you die by them also.

so we make the same mistake we made in Vietnam, bring the troops home short of totally calming things down and then watch as 2 and 1/2 million people get slaughtered like the north Vietnamese did to the south huh gene?


You forget, Gene would gladly sit with a bowl of popcorn and a beer, celebrating the slaughter of 2 1/2 million people, as long as he could Blame Bush.

Sad how no one from the left seems to remember this sad and tragic fact of what happened when we pulled out early and then cut off all aid to the South.

It really is kind of sad to see the depths some people have sunk to. Hate is like depression in one respect. It sucks you in and drags you down until you dont know any other way of living. and then it kills them. Never knowing anything but the depths of their malady.

Genes hatred over someone he does not even know is irrational to the point of true insanity. I pity the man.

Putting Americas safety and destiny in the hands of an outfit that has shown time and time again it does not have Americas best interest in mind {the U.N.} is folly. Kerry ran on a platform of getting permission from the U.N. to safeguard ourselves. what a crock of shit.

True... I still say it's too bad we didn't back the Kurds and continue our mission through Baghdad back in 91. Just think, even if it lasted 10 years... Iraqis would be running their own government and our troops would either be home, or being offered Iraq as a station of choice option. ;~D

There is no way we should have let Saddam remain in power in the first Gulf war, we had him on his heels and should have demanded he leave then and there or while we had the super coalition over run his country. By now all this crap would be settled down and Iran would not be the threat it is.
