More of a threat to the world than at any other time. It is not just a few small bands of nutjobs, but there are state sponsors, like Iran and Syria. Then there are the proliferators of WMD and delivery technology, like the North Koreans with their missiles, like the Pakistani nuclear scientist, like the Iranians will be. The ties between these states and terrorists - like Iran's sponsorship of Hezbollah - means that eventually, they will get WMD.\n\nAnd all it takes is one incident, and the genie is out of the bottle.\n\nAnd retreating from Iraq is going to make that threat even worse.

I have seen sights reporting as high as half a million civilians.  There is so much chaos there that no one can accurately give a figure.  Based on the answers here it seems Iraqi life holds no value and analogy is used that if Sadam was killing why not us! But everyone has forgotten that Bush attacked Iraq to make life better for the Iraqis and get rid of Sadam and he is still alive while so many are dead and dying!

The truth is it is the United States of America who is the real terrorist in Iraq.  We will end up like Vietnam. On the losing end.

In Iraq nearly every building is susceptible to a car bomb a suicide bomber (any guy standing in line to apply) or a mortar.  Even the Green Zone isn't 100% safe.  And when I worked on Camp Victory in early 2005, a major car bomb exploded near one of the gates and a 230mm rocket exploded 150m from our vehicle staging area...again on a secured military base.  We also had a rocket hit the front of the main PX on the camp...a half kilometer from my cabin.  It killed one soldier and injured 87 others.\n\nAnd hiring an absurd amount of Iraqi's...OK, but you can't make them want to be policemen...same as having them join the army.  Certainly I agree that having Iraqis police and defend their own cities and country is the best of all worlds.  But for many reasons we are not there yet.  And I don't think it is due to a lack of money.

What are the stakes? Some Iraqis might turn against USA?, Some Afghanis might do some thing in retaliation? Some others might say something against US?\nBring army back home and leave the world alone, the world does not need your help, no dollars and no bombs, Stakes will be over and you wo'nt need to be smarter.

Iraq. Nineveh is located just where Mosul is now, north close to Syria, Babylon at the location of the modern Al Hillah, just south of Baghdad.\n\nAmusingly, the administrative region of Mosul is still called 'Ninewa governorate' :-)

Sorry Longjohn but do you know what are you talking about? \nDo you know that Iran related groups in Iraq are the most dangerous ones and they are silent because of Iran?\nOh, you don't believe me, just go and check Moqtada Sadr speeches, can you remember how many attacks his followers did? And US troops dare not to capture him because it would turn Iraq to the real hell.\nHe abandoned military actions just because of Another Islamic leader ordered him to and do you know what is the name of this another leader? \nHis last name is Sistani, funny fact is that Sistan is somewhere in east of Iran so this guy is Iranian too.\nAnyways I warn you and US troops here, in the border of Iran and Iraq in mountains of Kurdestan a group of heinous warriors live that call themselves 'Komole' and none of the governments there(Iran, Turkey, Iraq) dare not to go there. They are professionals in beheading using opened can edge(These are serious facts which I can prove you).\nThey will easily kill a soldier just for his clothes. They can sell a US military boot in Tehran around 100$.

I agree that the killing is going to escalate, not stop. Radical Islam has a hell of a lot more people than we do (never learned that from Nam I guessed) and they can wait forever. Also, now they have a martyr, not that he didn't deserve to be killed!\n\nQuite frankly, I am getting a distinct message that the President of Iraq does not like a lot of our behaviour and is trying to throw us out. Don't be surprised when there is no democracy in Iraq, and they become more militant than the ones we threw out. They have a big reason to hate us now!!\n\n"The more our Iraqi security forces, our police, our army, the more they grow in number, in training and are ready and able to perform and to protect our people, then the less we need of the multinational forces," al-Rubaie told CNN's "Late Edition."\n\nHe wants us out! Read between the lines if you are able!\n\nPlease quit with the FREEDOM BS!! We are there for OIL, not freedom!! Saddam WAS NEVER a threat to our freedom, I don't care what kind of spin you use!!! Freedom is the rights rationalization to get oil for the oil companies who pay next to nothing in taxes.\n\nCrude has gone down. Haven't seen any lowering of gas prices. Bunch of low life gougers!

Iraq was not like it is now when Saddam was in power. Saddam was a threat to his own people, and those around him, period. World threat? Threat to America? Not by any thinking person's stretch of the imagination. We had to retaliate for 9/11 and a group of brilliant people decided Iraq was the path of least resistance after we topple their tyrant to install a democracy. Wishful thinking at its best, we are starting to see the worst. Things have degraded to their tribal levels split along religious sects. We invaded without understanding the culture and history of the region. Hatred and war are long time bed-partners in the middle-east. Just to keep the excitement growing we can now add extremely twisted, hate filled, religious fundamentalist zealots adding to the killing in the name of Allah.  Baghdad is eerily starting to look like Saigon. We won't need a strategy to get out, we'll need emergency evacuation.

Great post!!  Your facts do not lie.  I really don't understand why people are so worked up over this Iraq situation.  As you stated, these are not alarming death tolls.  Our country has chosen to defend ourselves through a terrorist hosting country.  I give great credit to those who put their life down for our country, the 2,839 that were killed could be a very small number compared to the next terroirst attack on the US. THANKS FOR THE STATS!!! Happy Veterans day to all of my co-servers. =)

Absolutely yes. Among the threats are dumping of acid waste from the extraction process, leaching of mine "tailings" (see ref. 1), and possible emission of the highly toxic compound nickel carbonyl (see ref. 2) an intermediary in the process of purifying nickel.
