THere have been more US soldiers injuries in the last month than in than a year. You only hear of soldiers deaths on TV not the blown off arms legs and faces.

12,000 Dead in Iraqi Guerrilla War
Rate of Killing Same as Under Saddam

According to a recent United Nations report, nearly 50 academics have been assassinated in Iraq over the past two years. A US official says the number is closer to 100, but added that the pattern of the killings is not clear, with "terrorism, general thuggery, pay back, and de-Baathification" all playing a role.

The British military in southern Iraq is making plans to withdraw to bases and ultimately to depart the country.....

Saudi Arabia is worried about radicals from the kingdom who slipped into Iraq to fight the Americans, coming back to Saudi Arabia to destabilize it....

Wow sounds like we really have things under control.
Pattern of killings not clear: No leadership with an ultimate goal in mind? Sounds like a bunch of bangers...you know...like we have in different slums in the U.S.

British withdrawl to bases: Gives me the impression that there are enough trained Iraqi military in the area to take care of matters themselves. Remember now, I did state that the Shiites in THAT region are working towards the rebuild instead of the insurgency. Thanks for verifying that!

Saudi Arabia worried about getting thugs back: Are you stating that a group of uneducated Jihad Saudis constitute an Iraq civil war? Let the Saudis deal with their own trash. At least the mean ol' U.S. gave forwarning as to bombings. Saudi trash strapping on a bomb to blow up defenseless school kids is NOT a precidence for civil war.

Things are better now than in Sadamm times except for the area predominent in U.S. forces which is the Sunni Triangle. Remember the Sunnis past...Sadamms chosen people while the other 80% of the country got shit on.

How exactly did that happen? Well, pull up a chair, here's what happened. After President Bush won re-election last November, there was much consternation among some powerful anti-Bush Americans. They were stunned that John Kerry lost and feared that if Bush succeeds in his second term, Rating: 5
