If you ever watch the Iraqi side of the war, I Do. you would know that Muqtada Al-Sadr hates the US occupation and he controlls a few hundred thousand Iraqis. It's just a matter of time before he revolts. He's just biding his time, waiting on the US elections. If McCain wins, I'd bet there will be all out war, If Obama wins, I think he'll wait to see if the troops are really going to leave. Lets be real about Iraq, They hate our guts. You can't go into a country and kill or maim hundreds of thousands of citizens and expect them to like you.

No comment on the articles? Deaths are down. Violence is down. Al Queida is defeated. Why aren't you rejoicing?

Al Queda is not who we are at war with. We are at war with our own government. It is not the middle east causing us harm, it is our own selfish, thoughtless government, who think us americans are blind and naive to what they are really doing. They are brainwashing us to believe that all they show us is really how it is. Which IMO is a crock of shit. I don't trust bush or any of his appointed officials. He got into office on a scam and some bullshit, which is just what his term has been. Enough said.

Again I ask you to look at Iraq from the iraqis perspective. Widen your view,, open your mind. It is not all like the MSM tells you. All is not well in Iraq.

Rate of Violence Skyrocketing In Afghanistan

In terms of enemy fire, May 2008 was the second deadliest month of the war since hostilities began in Afghanistan shortly after 9/11. This also marked the end of the deadliest 12-month period for U.S. troops in combat in Afghanistan since the war began nearly seven years ago. 14 Americans were killed by hostile fire in Afghanistan last month (equal to the same number killed in June 2006). The deadliest month of combat in Afghanistan for U.S. troops was in June 2005 when 25 died–16 in a single helicopter shoot-down.
While 14 hostile fire fatalities may not seem significant when compared to the fighting in Iraq, there are two facts that we must take into consideration:

1. We have just experienced the deadliest 12-month period of the war in Afghanistan in terms of hostile fire–by far.
99 Americans have been killed in action since 1 June 2007. The previous 12-month high was 70–between 1 June 2005 and 31 May 2006.
2. The hostile fire death rate for American troops in Afghanistan last month was four times that of Iraq.
One out of every 2,500 (.04 percent) Americans in Afghanistan died last month at the hands of the enemy. This is much higher than in Iraq, in which one out of every 10,000 (.01 percent) American troops died.

While hostile fire casualty rates in Iraq have been higher than .04 percent in about half of all months since the invasion, this shows us one fact that cannot be overlooked: The violence in Afghanistan only seems minimal to Americans because there are a mere 33,000 troops there. But the rate of violence there is clearly comparable to that in Iraq–where 155,000 troops are now serving. For those 33,000 troops in Afghanistan, for the first time now, life has become more dangerous than in Iraq.

... and you won't see this on ... not MSM ... it's no longer that ... it's nothing more than corporate media ... propaganda ...

Is Nick Berg the point of view you speak of?
Do you really believe less Iraqis will die once we are gone?
"all is not well in Iraq."-totaly agree!!
.....can you tell me when all was well?
Pull out all media and come down with an iron fist and end this bullshit in a month. Lets use some of this super power and put the fear of god into them. Have them beg us to end this fight! Then we fuck'em up even more so and say "this fight ends when we say it does,you smelly fuck!!"
