I was shocked to see this on ABC news tonight:

ABC News: Dramatic Advances Sweep Iraq, Boosting Support for Democracy

"Dramatic advances in public attitudes are sweeping Iraq, with declining violence, rising economic well-being and improved services lifting optimism, fueling confidence in public institutions and bolstering support for democracy. "

Yes, that's leftist ABC, not Fox saying these things. Must have hurt!

Just remember...it's all Bush's fault.

When are you wingnuts going to get it through your head....Most Americans don't care if Iraq is as clean and organized and safe and wealthy as Gstaad, Switzerland!!!!

It wasn't worth the 4300 Soldiers lives you squandered, the 4300 families who had their hearts broken, the 1 Trillion Dollars you flushed down the toilet!, the American laws you broke, and the countless innocent Iraqi's you killed doing it.

It doesnt resolve you of anything!

Not to mention the disabled and disfigured soldiers that sacrificed so that Cheney via Hell-iburton, Blackwater and all of the other warmongers could get filthy rich off of blood. Bush the lying lizard fulfilled his fantasy of being a war time POTUS and killing Saddam for revenge for wanting to hurt his daddy Bush. Where's the Iraq oil profits that we were supposed to get back to pay for this pseudo democracy? So Bush took office to screw us and build a nation for his own profits. Big pile of dung. Go live in Iraq...they just might let you into the Green Zone." Sure!

What you fail to realize is that these military people were not drafted they enlisted on their own. some have even enlisted to go to Iraq.
To say we don't care about Iraq is bull sh*t you do not speak for America.

Bush defecated on the Constitution he took an oath to uphold. You seriously believe that he gave rat's butt for Iraqi democracy? I'd laugh, if you take on this was not so twisted and pathetic. Your own country is in the crapper and you are joyful for what this illegal occupation has cost us?

What an obtuse response! Bush's illegal occupation of Iraq was not worth the life of one soldier or one Iraqi! It was not worth one limb. How did you benefit?

Milborn....I always back up my assertions....It wasn't worth it....Most Americans think it wasnt' worth it.....They don't give a flip about how things are going in Iraq....You rightwingers crapped the bed and there is no uncrapping the bed...Come to grips with this.

Iraq

ABC News/Washington Post Poll. Feb. 19-22, 2009. N=1,001 adults nationwide.

.

"All in all, considering the costs to the United States versus the benefits to the United States, do you think the war with Iraq was worth fighting, or not?" Half sample

Don't tell me, tell the first vet you see or spend some time at a VA hospital and educate the troops there.
Talk is cheap.
