Does knowing more about IEDs killing people make you feel more

[liveoaktx]

kindly and understandly about the war? KO's David Gregory report said that's what Bush's aim is by talking about IEDs.

1. Who ARE these people?

They seem like alien invaders who come from a completely different kind of society than the rest of us.

How do whatever weapons they're using against us justify our presence?

2. He is SO fucking insulting

So, what's Fuckface's pitch now?

"The terraists are planting roadside bombs, so we gotta send more of our kids over there to get blown up by them"?

Yeah. Figures.

3. I heard long ago somewhere that most of the bomb material

came from a munitions depot that the army left unguarded. Stuff that should never have seen the street.

5. You heard right - but the USG did their best to discredit the story...

...in one article I read years ago, the government's estimates concluded that Iraq had almost the same about of small arms & ammunition as the ENTIRE U.S. aresenal of reserved storage! So, we can only wonder at how many old bombs were floating around in bunkers throughout the countryside before the invasion began.

Regardless of where these weapons/bombs are coming from that are being used (and have been used these last 3 years), the thing to keep in mind is that all these attacks are IN FACT happening. And whether the weapons are from storage depots that our military failed to secure or from foreign sources, our military is failing strategically in this regard to stemming the flow of insurgency weaponry. Period.

The insurgency doesn't have factories where they are making these things, so they have to be coming in from somewhere.

4. "Knowing" more about IEDs is supposed to appear to be knowledgeable

without talking about the more dangerous information, like Abu Grhaib or Croney-ism.
