Yahoo!

They've had three elections. They chose their government.

Looks like things are returning to normal and will only get better.

We were told the troops would have flowers thrown at their feet, it would be easy, 6 days, weeks or 6 months at most, Insuregency is in it's last throes. People are sick of the occupation and the lies and the lost money, I don't give **** about the small amount of good news their. It's a depressing, sad ass hell hole and we should have never gone their in the first place.
So it's come down to making up numbers now?

Like I said, we have not left yet.

Walking in with guns and allowing people to vote is not a democracy.
If I had to guess since you have nothing but negative comments your name is nancy ? am I wrong?

Didn't make that up but couldn't find the exact number. But they vote things are great...

Numbers hint at that. In the last three months, more Americans have been killed in Afghanistan than in Iraq. The number of suicide bombers continues to climb, from two in 2002 to more than 100 in 2007.
