"Iraq is 95 percent stable"
With 130,000 troops, in a country as big as California with a population of millions of fanatics? While the dummies we put in charge are being assassinated? Iraq is 95 percent stable? LOL! You have your head so far up your party's ass you are blinded man.
One soldier writing home summed that up nicely. He said something like what you just did, but the worded it more like: "Do you think if we were surrounded by 25 million people who wanted to kill us that we'd be alive today?"
When public figures come forward to lead, they know they could be assassinated, that's part of the risk involved in the transition from a dictatorship to a Representative democracy, something you simplistic, single issue, mental midgets, can!!! and will never understand.
Joe.... You are a defeatist and I suggest you take your sour and useless opinions to a site that suits you best... DU is where you belong, it represents your "Blame America First" viewpoints, as well as your!!!! "I'll side with any enemy of the U.S.A crowd"
