Destroying a nation and its people: Mission Accomplished

I'd love to hear what the anti-abortion/pro-war crowd thinks about this. Heckofa job, W!

These miserable "right-to-lifers" How psychologically damaged will the youngsters be affected for the rest of their lives?

Thanks for the story Al-Qaeda Broadcasting Company. I guess none of this behavior existed before the US was involved. Why doesn't this miserable news channel just skip the middle man and print the news in Arabic so the terrorists can read it easier! ABC SUCKS A LOT!

Good thing we removed Saddam so these people can be free... What a joke, we brought a miserable bunch of people even more misery. Congress should pass a law that the USA can't get involved in any foriegn conflicts for minimum 50 years.

Rape, theft, drug addiction and abortion. Fleeing the cities for the saftey of the burbs...And they said an American style democracy would never take hold in Iraq. How many violent deaths do we have in America each year? Well Iraq has to pick up the pace there if they want to compete with us.

How many people have fled our inner cities to avoid the "blood shed"?

this just sickens me to read about. W wasn't happy enough that he screwed up this nation he had to go and screw with someone else's too

It just like Vietnam. We killed them to save them from Communism, and we kill these people to save them from themselves.

Destroying a nation and its people: The largest WAR CRIME yet of the 21st Century. What we did to Iraq is a crime against humanity. Do your homework, under Saddam, rule was tight and he was a dictator, but people had basic human services, such as electricity, water, and healthcare. We destroyed their social fabric, caused a CIVIL WAR, and it will never be forgoten.

Jerome perhaps you should do a little history study. France was in Vietnam long before we were. Why did Kennedy drag us into Vietnam? That is a good question. Was it to fight communisim? Did Communism have a very real face in 1960's? beyond what we can understand in our catch phase K.I.S.S. blogosphere.
Were the Nukes of the coast of Florida?

George Bush is a terrorist. The worst of the worst.

The Americanization of Iraq continues under the direction of the Neo-Cons.

For all the idiots that believe the death and destruction of an entire nation in Iraq, step back and really watch the news coming from the Middle East. the violence is only in the capital and a couple regions surrounding it. This country is quite large. There are a lot of people whose quality of life is very much improved, mainly areas where poverty was rampant during Sadaam years but this positive image will never make news headlines like a bomb blast killing several innocent people. Lots of people like to criticize this country and its leadership but enjoy the comfort of our freedom. Put an American Flag on your sleeve and make a contribution to your protected right and then I may listen.

Now we know how little a History BA is worth from Yale University. George W learned absolutely nothing during his four years at that fine institution!

There's no excuse for abortion, not to minimize the plight of these women. It's sad to see them adopt some of our values that lead to bondage, not freedom.

usarocks: Check the facts before you shoot of your mouth. Fact 1: before 1993 every person in Iraq had housing, jobs and medical care. Fact 2: The coalition has failed to repair even one fourth of the damage caused by this illegal war. Put down the booze, clear your head and cry God help the innocent claude

THE DISASTER IN IRAQ-NAM JUST GETS WORSE BY THE DAY.

How terrific! Under Hussein, medical care was available and accessible to all. Women went to universities and obtained post-graduate degrees. Tthey could vote. They could dress any way they wanted.

Now that Bush has "liberated" the Iraqis, women are so afraid of bringing new lives into the world that they resort to abortions.

Heckuva job, Bush! This is another disaster to check next to your name!

The Lancet/Johns Hopkins University study, going door to door throughout Iraq and seeing death certificates for 92% of the reported deaths, estimated an increased death toll due to the invasion for March 2003 to July 2006 to be 655,000. The British Defense Ministry said their methodology was sound and robust.
Every reason given for the war was a known lie when it was given. The Downing Street Memo is obviously true. Who forged the Niger Documents? Iraq and Iran had nothing to do with 9/11. Saddam was the enemy of al Qaeda. Iraq has #2 oil reserves and Iran has #3.

There is much to learn if we open our minds often and close our mouths every once in a while. None of us has all the answers. Each of us must dedicate ourselves to upholding the Constitution. Along the way, we will become more enlightened and may even decide that the track we were on needs some adjusting. Our citizens must -- regardless of the circumstances -- be lights to the world. The ends do not justify the means. Period.
