Well actually that was the one guy was being a dumbass. That would be like if a fleet of American ships blew up because a nuke decided to fuck up for no reason but its own.

---

All I know is this.
1. He fucked with me.
2. His entire armada was blown the fuck up.

I wonder how long it will be until the american media starts recognizing the fact that Iraq is in a state of civil war, and not just undergoing 'several domestic disturbances.'

Anyone who thinks we are being militarily defeated in Iraq (or in Vietnam, for that matter) needs to seriously wake up.

The only reason we aren't bombing the hell out of Baghdad right now is because of the media and how they would seize on it to make the U.S. look like brutal murderers.

A loss in Iraq, if there is a loss in Iraq, will be psychological, as was our failure in Vietnam.

You're joking right? You must be joking.

Do you not realize that by bombing in the first place the US is pretty much already qualified as a brutal mass-murdering nation?

"You break Iraq, you bought it."

Like it or not, whatever your position is, Bush made a serious strategic, economic, and political ERROR based on flawed and (in many cases) outright biased intelligence. Not only did he underestimate the resilience of the Iraqi people, he failed to consider that in an unstable region like Iraq, there is bound to be militant groups waiting for the current regime to fall so that they can make a bid for power. Well, with our army invading, we accomplished that rather nicely, thus touching off a firestorm of guerilla warfare wages by religious fanatics who think nothing of throwing their own lives away for the sake of a politico-religious ideology. Not to mention causing as much collateral damage and casualties as they can.

So, it really is no surprise that we are having such a hard time, and yes, losing the Iraq War. It is the logical extension of Vietnam...we can't win, but we keep on fighting because we are too proud to simply admit we were wrong.

Yes, Hussein was a genocidal maniac. Yes, he orchestrated horrific things on his own people. And, for that reason, it was probably a good thing that he was taken out and sentenced to execution by hanging. However, you must consider what the aftereffects would be, with all the elements described above. Yes, that would mean that Saddam would more than likely remain in power, but frankly, that's the decision you have to make.

Meh its better than having the Halliburton name plastered all over Iraq. Force Protection Inc. is about to start really grabbing the cash. The Marines want to order thousands of their armored trucks.

---

No, Halliburton needs to have KBR be a seperate company. Most, if not all of the scandals it has faced as a corporation in the past 5 years came from KBR. Halliburtion would be massively cleaner if it spin off KBR.
