Report says U.S. cannot win Iraq war
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Big News Network.com Sunday 23rd January, 2005 (UPI)

An analysis of a U.S. newspaper group concludes the United States is headed towards defeat in the Iraqi war.

The Knight Ridder Newspapers analysis of U.S. government statistics shows the Sunni Muslim insurgency in Iraq steadily gaining on the U.S. military, the Detroit Free Press, owned by Knight Ridder, reported Saturday.

Among factors cited:

-- U.S. military fatalities from hostile acts rose from an average of about 17 per month in May 2003 to a current average of 82 per month;

-- The average number of U.S. soldiers wounded by hostile acts per month has spiraled from 142 to 808 during the same period;

No Wonder Bush didn't mention Iraq in his Inaugaral Speech and yet he plans to go to war with other nations... HELLO!!!

1. The Snakes Did It Again To The People

and we countered the machine's message. Time to get rid of the machines that count our votes.

2. We were saying that on Feb 15th

2003..When the World said NO to war on Iraq! The United States of America cannot win by Attacking Iraq. It was a no win situation from the get-go.

3. I'm beginning to believe that their strategy is to pull out of Iraq...

...after the elections on the request of Allawi, leaving him installed as the dictator (the elections will be a total failure, so Allawi will be duce indefinitely) and armed to the teeth with blackhawk gunships, armored personnel carriers, etc.

Then they'll focus on Iran...:scared:

7. Could be

I've long suspected that this talk of "pulling out" from Iraq is actually code for invading Iran.

4. Another outrage glossed over by CM (Corporate Media)

USA fatalities up from 17 to 82 per month;
USA wounded "spiraled" from 142 to 808 a month..

Does CM blast this over the air waves, front pages, radio frequencies.
NOOOOOOO, of course not.

Like their masters in the * Administration, they are indifferent to anything other than their own bottom line, proceeds, and status.

The CM needs to be toppled. It should be our highest priority after cleaning up elections and pursued with equal vigor.

5. Oh, they're just being negative!

Its all about perception. If we just say the war is going well, it will be true!

6. Moonie Press Service leaves out a very important qualifier

the Moonie-owned UPI tries to make the respectable (and superior regarding Iraq) Knight-Ridder look ridiculous, by claiming they are declaring inevitable defeat.

Which they're not.
