Smoke and mirrors, the whole "Iraq is getting friendly to the US" is nothing but smoke and mirrors. I'm sure a few soldiers that haven't been in mortal combat with the Iraqis could see friendly Iraqis, But ask one that has had them shooting and popping IEDs at them how they feel. To a man they hate the Iraqis, especially after they have seen their buddies blown up. Why have over two million fled their homes, love of the US, I don't think so. Why when questioned do most Iraqis say things were much better under Sadam, even though they feared him and his sons. I'll tell you why. They could go to the market without fear of being blown to bits, and when they got there they could actually get something to eat. Iraq is a country divided, shia-Sunni-Kurds three separate entities that want autonomy within their own tribes, Sadam had them under his thumb and they lived side by side without malice. The Middle east was much more stable with Sadam in power And it will never revert to a peaceful place. The Iraqi government is a big joke. We bring in 40,000 more troops to help them and what do they want to do, take a two month Vacation, pathetic.

Iraq is in the midst of a civil war with American soldiers struggling to keep the peace. Afghanistan's goverment is negotiating with the Taliban, though that war is all but forgotten these days. Now we want to add a 3rd front to the GWOT? I suppose we can be grateful the warhawks didn't get their way, at least this time. When will this administration, especialy Dick Rating: 5
