It’s Your Show says Obama to Iraqis

Posted in Iraq on Sep 6th, 2011

Military advisers asked for 27,000 troops to remain in Iraq.  Hillary Clinton pushed for 10,000 that the Pentagon said would be needed as the absolute lowest number to keep our troops secure.  They got 3000.  It is now a pure training mission at the end of this year.  After 9 years, I can’t say that [...]

Posted in Iraq on Jan 6th, 2010

The number of American combat casualties in Iraq this past month.  Remember that the left said the war was lost, the surge would make it worse, and David Petraeus was General betray us.  The same critics oppose him in Afgahnistan.  Shouldn’t we at least give peace, freedom, and victory a chance?

Cheers for Iraqis

Posted in Iraq on Jun 30th, 2009

I hope this premature pull out from the Iraqi cities works. I believe that it is too early, but the Iraqis are confident. It is their country, they know it better than anyone else. I want to see the day that we can withdraw all but a base or two. Iraq needs to be run [...]

Posted in Comment Rescue, Iraq, National Dems, National GOP on Jun 24th, 2009

Some things really irritate me, like the way people conveniently forget what was going on a scant 8 years ago in our nation: anoni DA, Unfortunately, it’s not one sided.

Iraq better today

Posted in Iraq on Jul 3rd, 2008

15 of the 18 benchmarks are making satisfactory progress.  Only two are not. One is sort of in the middle. Violence is down, American troop deployment tours are cut back to 12 months.

Americans believe McCain will Win the War; Obama will Retreat

Posted in Antiwar Left, Armed Forces, Defense, Election 2008-President, Iraq, McCain, Military, Obama on May 23rd, 2008
