Well, Well, More troops killed today. Will the brave  Insurgents ever stop? How do we get them to quit?

Do the 'insurgents' (meaning native inhabitants) who are defending their families, have anywhere near the resources or technology the US has? Have they killed from long distances with the efficiency of the US bombs dropped on wrong targets? \nDo their high tech weapons match that of the US for contamination, radiation, poison, or are they designed to inflict disease and cancer for the coming generations? \nFor the Iraqi's, they know they're dead anyway, but now it's just determination to rid their home of an unwanted invader. All this resistance from a country the US cheated and left defenceless in the last Gulf War. \nDoes any US person care that there'll be lots more service men coming home with tumours and cancers caused from sitting around their own radiactive weapons? \n\nLike anyone who's actually followed the non-US version of events and lies, who wouldn't love to see every gram of radioactive fallout from the water and soil lovingly returned to the US where it came from, so their own citizens can enjoy the agonising pain of tumorous growths and deformed children. Surely that would convince GWB to form an exit strategy from Iraq, with or without his oil.\nI bet lots of people don't see anything wrong with supporting of an illegal invasion to selfishly get what they want at the cost of anyone who gets in their way.\n\nHow sick and shameful it really is.

I heard the total number of Iraqi's who have died since the American occupation is around 100,000. How many have died since the war officially ended I couldn't say.\n\nIt is very naive by the way to believe insurgents are responsible for the majority of these deaths.

Yes, and it's actually quite simple. Give the Iraqi government a SPECIFIC deadline to withdraw coalition troops and stick to it. They are not holding up their end of the deal. They think if they continue to appear weak and in distress that we will stay inevitably, and we seem to be falling into that trap. Our administration needs to get a clue that they are really being played by these people. How's April 1st. No Foolin'.

Just pull the troups out and let them come home, they have done their job. Iraq will have a civil war regardless if we stay or not so why not just let them have at it and not lose anymore American lives.

i feel as you do.it makes me sick to see these soldiers and innocent  civilians dying every day for George Bush's personal war.lets see now Saddam is out of power.there were no weapons.the police and army of Iraq that we are training are selling weapons to the people we are fighting and helping with kidnappings.it doesn't take a rocket scientist on this one.GET OUR SOLDIERS OUT OF HARMS WAY AND BRING THEM HOME.

Organize a protest and hit the streets.  The only way to support the troops is to prevent them from being sent to die in an elective war that can't be won on our own.

Our President needs to turn Iraq over to our military and tell them to start making believers out of those insurgents, by believers, i mean dead insurgents!

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!

it's about time, six years of hell is enough. this administration have totally lost its focus on the war on terror. instead of stopping terror, they're creating it. \n\nthose who don't support the war in iraq are labelled ..... liberals, cowards, traitors. IS THIS AMERICA? can't we have opposing view? i fully support the war in agfhanistan, but i will never support a war that has nothing to do with anything.\n\ndo you really want to "STAY THE COURSE"? do you actually believed that you can win a war without a valid reason? do you want it to end like nam? 60000 dead us soldiers later\n\nthis war is a mistake. stop it now! \n\nbeing patriotic is "DON'T ASK WHAT THIS COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THIS COUNTRY"\n\ndon't change it to meant "DON'T ASK WHAT THIS MORON CAN DO FOR YOU BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THIS MORON"

Could we defeat them? Yes we could. Do we currently have the balls to jump in a furball with them and stick it out to the win? No, we do not. Witness Iraq and all the mewling and whining even after it was carefully explained that it would be a long, expensive process.\n\nShould we? No. All we need do is show that we have the guts and determination to finish what we started in Iraq, they will back off.

I have to agree with everyone else where have you been, I died there myself.  Everyday since I know the sins I committed and await my judgement.  The Republicans are willing to sacrifice another 58,000 in Iraqi for their oil.  But personally I hate to see anyone killed a soldier questions not but dies for their country.  What most of these right wingers do not realize is these "terrorist" as they call them are another person hero.  \n\nTo the Gettysburg Ghost you need to learn to read.  You Yankees can do that can't you? The Confederate strength, known less accurately because of missing records, was from 750,000 to 1,250,000. Total losses 258,000 .  The Union armies had from 2,500,000 to 2,750,000 men. Their losses, 360,222. \nI would suggest you listen to the song "I am a Good Rebel" he is right we did not kill enough of you!\nGod Bless You the Questioner and the SOUTHERN PEOPLE!

There will never be an end to violence in Iraq and this has nothing what so ever to do with the Troops there! They are actually making it safer at the moment whether people wish to believe it or not! Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims have hated each other for generations and will continue to attack and murder each other! Civil war brewing? Has it even ever ended properly other than the total oppression of the other side by Saddam?\n\nLets all stop winging at the troops and give them our 100% support as they do deserve it! I live in Scotland and send mail and parcels to my mates out there also now use anymarine.com to send stuff to our American allies out there too!\n\nPlease never belittle or forget their sacrifice!

I don't think they know what to do. That was a very organized effort. More troops does not provide management skills.

How to stop the war....hmmm... well you could make all of the insurgents in Iraq throw down their weapons... or maybe make it so that when our military finally does leave there won't be groups of terrorists rushing back into the area to occupy it. Until then I don't think the war will end... so deal with it.

More US troops will die....

Oh God!!!  You people make me freakin' sick!!!\n\nOk...Iraq in on the verge of imploding as we speak.  Do you not realize the impact the US Forces are having right now?  If we pulled out this very second a whole lot more "innocent" people would be blown to bits by their country men.  We're traning Iraqi Police and Iraqi National Guard so that maybe they will become strong enough to protect their own country.  We're rebuilding schools and providing medical aide to the sick and wounded.  Just because you watch the news does not mean that you are in any way, shape or form "enlightened" to what's really going on.  Have you ever heard the phrase, "News is only good when it's bad"?  No?  Well pay attention, because the only time Iraq is in the news is when someone dies or someone f*cks up.\n\nAs for the US soldiers who have died- They Enlisted!!  We have an all volunteer army folks.  No one forced us to join!  No one was holding a gun to my mothers head when I signed that dotted line.  We all know the risks of joining the military and if some one tells you different they're a God D@mn liar!  Don't cry for us.  We don't want your scorn or pity.  Just say "thank you" and be on your way.\n\nOh you support the troops you say?  You don't want any more of us to die you say?  News flash!  If we pulled out now it would be a slap in the face to those of us who have ALREADY made the ultimate sacrifice.  It would be like telling those who were killed or mutilated that it was all for nothing!!!  They laid down their lives for nothing!!! \n\nScrew you people and your yellow bellied, liberal, bull$hit.

If there is an iron clad agenda to kill our enemy, and to discourage, forever more, the insurgents from entering Iraq, then I say yes.  This would require a serious ratcheting up of our activities, it would require the use of bigger and meaner weapons and ordinance, it would require border crossings to get to the real bad guys.  If this is our game plan, then I say yes.\n\nIf the purpose of sending more troops is to expand patrols and police action, then I say NOT.  We don't need more of the same bull sh it, we need a policy that will destroy the enemy, and let them know, we finally mean business.\n\nSorry, libs, your pacification program has been put back on the shelf!
