2. Proof we a are winning, insurgents are now capturing cities

Sources exposed the desperation of the Iraq insurgency today when they revealled that an insurgency that once controlled neighborhoods is now taking control of entire cities. According to the unidentified source this is not evidence of growing strength of the insurgents but rather proof that they are lashing in out in desperation as they approach their dead end.

3. my sense is that in g.w. bush, neo-cons understood they had...

in the palm of their hand, the proper balance of: bully puppet, ignorance & pre-enabled single minded belief in undiluted self to sign these papers what have now destroyed the civilized world; east, west & middle, with a little understanding of cause, effect, consequence, or resolution.

It was never a secret that the ranks of today's Washington neo-conservative war-party are filled with former first and second generation Trotskyists—personified by Irving Kristol, the former Shachtmanite Trotskyist, self-described "Godfather" of the entire neo-con apparatus, and the father of Weekly Standard editor William Kristol. What was ignored was the fact that both they and Vice President Dick Cheney are still fanatically committed to former Bolshevik minister of war Leon Trotsky's doctrine of "permanent revolution," and to the kind of permanent war which Cheney has created in Iraq, and is preparing to launch, very soon, as nuclear-armed warfare against Iran, and similarly permanent warfare against Syria, in South America, and elsewhere as soon, and as often as possible. It is this doctrine, which most historians associate with the name of Josef Stalin rival Leon Trotsky and his followers, which is presently the most immediate threat of mass-murderous violence to the world as a whole.

8. Howdy Bridgit. *waving back* People here on DU are hearing about

Navy personnel getting called up to be boots on the ground in Iraq. If that's true we are spread too thin and then some.

[Roland99]

7. Didn't US forces already storm al Qaim TWICE before?!

Now they have to do it AGAIN?!

[bridgit]

10. yes, but if they keep walking away from whatever ground...

they have held, doesn't that ultimately benefit they with defense stock heavy portfolios. annie didn't call him 'daddy war bucks' for nothing is my sense. and the bfee is replete with, now, globalized crony capitalistic war profiteers

[Roland99]

11. The American public won't stand for playing Whack-A-Mole much longer

[bridgit]

12. that is a spot-on way to address what is occuring...

and of course you are right, my only hope is that we renounce apathy as a political option & take back this country :patriot:
