amazing firsthand account from NPR caller to what's REALLY goin on in IRAQ
talked of being detained 3x while traveling through the south as a medic for an NGO

says they are ALL just WAITING for us to put in our puppets and pull-out then they will strike...

they are glad we are focusing on the sunnis as they are left alone - no british troops, italians - and ARMING, and PREACHING in the mousqes for PATIENCE.

scary...

peace

1. It's gonna be a long hot summer
Once we pull out and all the embeds go home no one will care too much when Iraq really falls apart. It will be another Afghanistan. That's why W is saving Osama for this summer, right before the convention is my guess. He's really gonna need a big boost by then.

2. My feeling is the same about Osama. Around June-August.
However, Osama will not be taken alive.

on the other hand saddam has already said when asked if he had wmd -"of course not" that was just an excuse to invade our country

it could have been a special for the capture but i was just listening from the live stream from their home page... it ended just when i posted here so maybe the time stamp will help.

5. Trouble ahead for Bush.
How is he going to defend keeping all our troops in Iraq?

If we pull out, civil war erupts.

Not good.

8. I heard that, too
Amazing. Just what most of us "left wing" DUers have suspected will happen starting last year.

What do we know?
