I wonder how many of you follow Iraqi bloggers who almost as a whole are thankful to be rid of Saddam and have the ability to decide their own Country's destiny now?

How many hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's couldn't afford a computer in order to log and thank us for the rivers of blood they never asked for? I've seen the pretty pictures of those schools, want to see what a 5 year old looks like after a .50 cal round tears through their skull? I would ask them how grateful they are if I could.

True, my photos are those who used to live there but can now be buried in a ziplock bag. They make about as good of bloggers as Glenn Beck makes sense.

Nice and convenient that those not as grateful are dead huh.

Make you a deal, for every grateful Iraqi blogger who gushes praise on the United States you offer, I'll provide 2 photos or video of very grateful dead, sound fair?

Bloggers who actually LIVE there interact with lots of other Iraqis and then blog about the general perceptions inside Iraq.

It doesn't take rocket science to understand that they wouldn't ONLY talk about their own personal beliefs all the time.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand hundreds of thousands of dead can't blog about their personal beliefs.

Let's go back to the 80s when Reagan, Rumsfeld and Saddam were all BFFs and gave him all his goodies for war, around around we go....

No, I retired from the Marines in 1989, but my Son did three tours in Iraq as a Lance Corporal.

Let's go back to WWII when we shipped arms to Soviet Russia too.

You really should brush up on your history.....what we gave Saddam was some minor intel and small arms.

You may recall that all Saddam's airforce was comprised of Russian and French aircraft, their rifles were Russian, and their tanks, scud missiles, radar defense, and artillery were Russian as well.
