You are confusing "leaning" with all out bashing of not only the President, but also the military.

So, who is a credible news source? Only outlets that support the war? Only outlets that see it your way?

Well, turns out that citizens in Iraq are turning on Al-Qaeda. In the town of Baqubah we were in a firefight with terrorists and we started to take heavy fire, so aprox. 25 citizens went in their houses got their guns and killed 20 terrorists. Also, Al-Qaeda recruits people in Iraq by taking children and roasting them like pigs and showing them to the parents. They then tell the community that they will kill all the children unless they help them. Then when Americans soldiers come into the area they decide to not stand for this anymore and gather a group of civilians and down the terrorists and kill them. Good thing that silly "surge" isn't working or actually improving the lives of the average Iraqi.

Thats great.... but I am not in favor of using American blood and money to improve Iraq. I dont give a damn about them.

This isn't 1930, we live in a world where isolationism is out of the question. We have strategic interest in the Middle East, both oil and keeping crazy terrorists from killing us. So if it means fighting their right now to hold them at bay then I think it is worth it. And Lord Mann is right, the iraqi police are extremely corrupt, however, they sometimes befall the same fate as the terrorists.

We do have a vested interest in the oil in the region... we do not have a vested interest in the people of the region or their well being. More emphasis should be placed on this country's well being and its interests instead of that of a 3rd world country.

I didn't say anaything about the well being of the people, I said we need to kill the terrorists and not let them have a safe haven to plan attacks on us.

sure we should kill all terrorists...but the real question is how do u kill a religion...cuz thats the only way ur going to kill the terrorists by getting rid of the religion....while i believe its very easy to kill a person i doubt itll b as easy to destroy and idea,belief,....etc.

Do you think they hate us and attack us because they just dont like us? THey hate the fact that we meddle in their affairs and thay we completely and whole heartedly support their hated enemy. They problems in the middle east are due to 50-60 + years of horrible foreign policy.
