It May Not Be Too Late.

It's clear the US line of success in Iraq is nothing more than mere political rhetoric. CNN is busy reporting that al-Sadr's private army has taken over the entire administration in Najaf. And for the firm believers in the White House's words you can explain how it is that the US trained US armed police force is in negotiations with al-Sadr for their re-taking their own police station. It's borderline anarchy and we're suposed to believe Iraqi's will be taking over the administration of Iraq in mere weeks? Something is not right in iraq and the reality still isn't known or understood by the majority of Americans. Sadly, I can't say 'vote Kerry' because he's not going to be withdrawing from Iraq if he wins. Of course not. So what can be done? The first thing to be done is to demand the full truth out of the government. Good luck with that. If I were really religious I would say you can pray, but really, we're told Bush and his cronies mock God by 'praying' before meetings and the like. So that won't help. All that is needed is the attitude that you're not willing to take the lies anymore and finally do something about it. Don't be a fence-walker. These are real lives at stake here. If you're against the war speak out loudly. If you're all for the war you better brush up on the fine art of the spin, because the s**t is really hitting the fan and it's splatter will touch everyone.

There's a big difference in fighting a war of aggression and fighting a war against the aggressor. The mentality of the people will be different.

The US is not currently fighting a war in Iraq. It stated the War was over. It doesn't have an enemy to fight. It's trynig to fight the people themselves. That's the worst kind of fighting possible as it almost always escalates.

The Us messed up on it's plans for controlling Iraq. It believed it coould control the situation and hand over control to a puppet government. The Iraqi peopel just don't want this. The US needs to accept this and make changes.

what I find odd is that while the US proclaims they're bringing democracy to Iraq, it's not going to be a one-man-one-vote system. That's why the Shiites are pissed off. The democracy there isn't the same democracy as we have here. If it were, the Shiites would win the majority then turn Iraq into an Iran.

Unfortunately Brad I can "have it both ways". If the US was not done fighting then Bush shouldn't have declared major combat operations complete. The fact that there is more fighting now then during the "war" makes Bush look out of touch and an idiot. I know the Bush team cringes everytime Kerry uses the words "Mission Accomplished".

I just want to say that according to the one year later things ABC and the BBC did, most Iraqis want the US out, but don't want us to leave yet. They understand why we are still there and realize we are trying to provide some kind of security. Some Iraqis just don't seem to get past the wanting the US out part and unfortunately it is costing us lives.
