Colin Powell: US losing Iraq war

[Psycho4Bud]

That is one beautiful dog!!! Wouldn't want to put it in harms way. LOL

Iran seems to be taking a stand with their recent elections.......seems the hard liners aren't feeling the love they once did. As for Syria.....they know the limits and I highly doubt that they'll push the envelope much further.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

Damn snake worshipers. lol. If the US is so overstretched, how will they be able to invade Syria and Iran? I know! Another false flag terror attack and a draft!

By the expression another nam I am reffering to a war America should never have started and one they can never win.

America didn't start Nam........another one of my points regarding this. Also, wasn't it Iraq that invaded Kuwait and actually started this lil' adventure?

I feel you may be being deliberately obtuse.
INTERFERENCE IN OTHERS AFFAIRS !
DECIDING FOR OTHERS HOW THEY SHOULD LIVE !
MAKING UP BS EXCUSES TO STICK THIER OAR IN WHERE IT ISN'T WANTED !

These were Americas mistakes in Nam and Iraq, thats where the similarity is and also in the fact that they jumped in with thier dicks in thier hands and were suprised when they got a kick in the bollocks.
America can never win this type of war anymore than pigs can read braille.

Within a 5 year period we have managed to march through a country, train over 300,000 of their people for their own service, assisted with not one but three open elections, dealt with insurgents and terrorists and our casualties are at just a mark over 3,000. How many of our men/women were killed in that period of time in Nam? How many P.O.W.s?

THEY ELECTED THEIR GOVERNMENT
THEY MADE THEIR CONSITUTION AND WAS OPENLY VOTED ON BY THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ

Don't care much for that capital print thing but I guess that's how ya make a point. LOL

This is a far cry from what we were STUCK with in Nam. We have been actively working on and restoring their infrustucture.......where in Nam did this happen? Cities having their power, water, and sewer upgraded to the times.....which cities in Nam did this happen in?

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

I'm surprised the Reptile had the balls to say it!!

The sooner we leave George Bushs' war behind the better off all will be. the Shia and Sunnis can finish what we,ve stirred up, a centuries old feud, the outside insurgents will have no reason to be there as there will be no Americans to kill, the puppet government can come down and a strongman operation similar to Sadams regime can get the place under control. We can then Blockade the port and dictate the price of oil leaving Iraq. Without US bloodshed we can reap the harvest we so dearly paid for in blood and treasure, the Oil!

They say it's all in the details however the similarity I suggest is much simpler than you are making it (as I said "deliberately obtuse") the similarity is IT IS AN UNWINNABLE WAR ! nothing more nothing less.

The similarity is in the fact that just like when America thought it could HELP ??? it made things worse and exactly the same has happened in Iraq.
The US didn't think it would have too much trouble with the gooks (sorry to any Vietnamese) and they thought the towelheads (sorry Arabs) would be a push over too, they were wrong on both counts.
Forget military casualties and count the TOTAL cost and Iraq is certainly worse off than before we (US/UK) interfered, American soldiers being brought up on charges of rape and murder, could that even be possible if the US hadn't gone there?

Your claims hold nothing if people are more fearful now than they were before they were "rescued" (????) , bombings in Baghdad are commonplace , the country is seriously divided, how is that better ??
