"US Asked Falluja Insurgents to Stop Firing -Bremer"

Uh - HELLO, Mr. Bremmer . .

Have you read the Koran lately?

[Happy2BMe]

Where RATIONALIZING with Islam will get you - ping.

[dalebert]

Gunmen runni around in plain sight moving ammo and equipment in ambulances and our guys are not allowed to shoot them. Ain't pc war fun.

[observer5]

Abdul: Mohammed, lets take a short break in killing Americans and all foreigners...

Mohammed: But we are also foreigners here in Iraq?

Abdul: Shut up and tighten your belt, before you blow me up too and I miss all my virgins-rape fest in heaven...

U.S. authorities are hoping insurgents hold to a cease-fire in the volatile town of Falluja, but recent violence is not expected to delay the handover of the country's governance to Iraqis at the end of June, Paul Bremer said.

Their OBVIOUS Plan

We make a ceasefire. They shoot our heroes.
We make a ceasefire. They shoot our heroes.
We make a ceasefire. They shoot our heroes.

[Maine For Bush]

This is complete CRAP! 19 dead marines in 3 days...and now we're negotiating a cease fire? Who the hell is running this war??!! Sorry, but I'm pissed.

...we have asked the insurgents to stop attacking the Marines," Bremer said on ABC's "This Week."

"What we are trying to do is simply get the forces to stop firing, have the insurgents stop firing on the Marines.

Gee, if it's that easy, why'd we even send troops over there to begin with? We should've just sent Bremer to ask Saddam to stop, ask Osama to stop, etc...

[Nita Nupress]

Oh, I get it, Mr. Bremer. We're just stalling so more of the 'box-of-rocks' terrorists can gather in Falluja and then we're going to stop farting around. Right?

Right??

I just watched Terry Anderson with Katie (as much as I can't stand her I wanted to hear what he had to say): Terry Anderson wanted to know why the Islamic clery is not speaking out and standing up to Sadr. He said they should be speaking out in Iraq, Iran and everywhere. The Koran says it is not legal to punish some for others crimes and that is what they are doing by taking hostages. Anderson pointed out that Sadr is junior to Sistani - but Sistani is not holding Sadr accountable. He says that is more the solution than using our military force.

BUMP see my post above

[reagan_fanatic]

Somebody needs to do a cat scan of Mr. Bremmer's head. Something is seriously wrong up there.

[MJM59]

60 dead in the last week. Well, I guess that it is safe to say that the major fighting or whatever you want to call it is not over and that the missions is not yet accomplished. Let's stop fighting this war in this politically correct, half hearted manner that continues to see our guys getting picked off in this one way cease fire B.S. Lets make them want us to stop killing them for a change!

[Happy2BMe]

Wonder if Bremmer would be so anxious for a ceasefire if he was in Fallujah looking down a jihad sniper scope . .

[kjam22]

Lets make them want us to stop killing them for a change!

Until that happens this thing will not end. Someone please explain to President Bush the value of an "unconditional surrender".

[American_Centurion]

When the going gets tough, one shouldn't tell the US military to "whoa", the correct phrase should be "take it up a notch".

If US Marines are good for one thing, it's finding another notch on a device that is "notched out". They will always find a way to fight harder.

[Stentor]

"Historically, nationalism and the nationalist feeling has always trumped the differences that exist within Iraq," Biden said

Utter balderdash.

[Jmouse007]

Haven't you heard? President Bush believes Islam is "the religion of peace". As a former Vietnam vet, I am also dumbfounded.

This PC mentality is EXACTLY why we lost Vietnam.

Anyone with half a brain realizes that this is all a ploy, like Tora Bora in order to get us to stop so the enemy can regroup and refortify their position. The only way we are going to win is if we kill these animals and their leadership, otherwise all they are going to do is wait for June 30 and take over the country.

If America's blood and cash has gone for nothing more than establishing an Islamic state, BUSH is through. You would think he and his advisers would realize this. America wants them to do it right and get it overwith, not play at half measures. Man am I ticked :o(
