    was hoping with the extra troops on the ground in and around baghdad that this kind of thing would slow down...don't seem to be happening.

      If this the fight for our civilization on the streets of Baghdad as Pres. Bush stated on 9/11/06, why aren't we there in even bigger numbers like 500,000 or more. Just a lot of hype on his part to keep the Republicans in charge in Congress. The war in Iraq is a fiasco on our part on the war on terror and a civil war for power between the Shiia and Suni.

      Republicans are bad on national security!

      Vote Democratic in November!

          America must take full responsibility even though Sadam Hussan ruled Iraq for more than three decades he had to fight with Iran for nearly a decade and more than a decade of sanctions after destroying Iraq, he kept the country under control where as America with all the big hype achieved nothing but killing and destruction continue, in Iraq and Afghanistan millions of people have been killed by the Americans and the so call coalition forces. Who attacked WCT and it was not even proved beyond doubt that it was in fact done by Al Qaida, but it is easy for everyone to blame the Muslims and Islam. Is this call international law, America wanted to invade these countries for its own economic and political reasons and it was the Israeli idea that Muslim countries must be controlled for Israel to survive. International community cannot be fooled.

            This has been a terrible year for Bush and will continue to get worse. Everything must be going according to plan in Iraq and America government must know it is powerless to stop it. It is time for a retreat in oder to save the future.

              "Republicans are bad on national security!"

              completely incorrect, note that we have not been attacked once since our retalliation against terrorists.

                    The firm Cheney Rumsfeld Bush & Co. the firm that brought us the war in Iraq, have grabbed firmly onto this war with members of one Muslim sect killing members of another Muslim sect. They now see this war as having developed into a strategic center of Iraqi Arab Sunnis population against Shiites population, and they see this developing battle clearing away many al Queada Jihadist that would have been directed against us at a later date. The full plan is exhausting Muslims with the massive deaths of their own people. They are now pushing one national battle after the next of Arab population, against Arab population. al Queada and Sunnis against Shiites, and later Kurds against Shiites in Iran, and on throughout the whole Arab world. That is the simple plan that the Bush Administration hope will end exhausting all Islamic struggles throughout the entire Islamic world.

                      I know my post above is too hard core, but you can hear the Administration, selling the picture of al Queada pushing one more Iraq on to the next Arab nation, to have this play out with the next national minority in the next country. The plan 'is' exhausting Muslims with the massive deaths of their own people, and to push that message into the main stream press and into every country. This is the domino's falling again, but the difference they are letting go, and letting the bleeding in Iraq fill everyone vision of what embracing al Queada or Hamas will get you.

                        It is not cowardly to retreat in order to get a new prespective of the situation and access casualties. What Bush has done is talk about staying the course and not flip flop like Kerry, what a crock. He is trying to enlist more young people and keep AMerican support on one of the biggest mistakes ever.
