Starting at #556, J Effen sKerry is up. What disgusting grandstanding. He's still giving campaign speeches (Bush and America verry bad...Europe verry verry good). Yep, we're going to be tortured with his presence again in 08.

[prairiebreeze]

I'm sure we were going to pay them if they went home and were peaceful. Not if they took up arms against us. But sKerry tries to say that because they didn't get their $1000 that's why we have an insurgency?

IIF training includes eight weeks of basic soldiering, weapons, and drill and ceremony instruction, and physical training. IIF units also negotiate special military operations in urban terrain training.

Military Operations in Urban Terrain training runs Soldiers through street fighting and building clearing operations instruction common to combat actions against insurgent forces in cities and towns.

Cry in shame that he was in the middle East "representing" us. ICK!

[Dog]

Yep, we're going to be tortured with his presence again in 08. Good I hope so.....Kerry and Gore vs Hillary....yeah baby!

[GodBlessUSA]

What a bunch of dopes. Ugh, I can't believe I'm listening to Kerry's garbage. His introduction was sickening. His condescending look as he listens to Condi Rice. What a looser, Thank God!

[Danae]

SNORK! lol

[Bahbah]

Condi contradicts the nonsense about the insurgents being those who simply didn't get paid. Go, Condi.

[Ellesu]

Iraqi Police Graduate More than 1,600 From Training

Baghdad, Iraq -- The Iraqi Police Service graduated more than 1,600 officers from basic police training and four specialized policing courses this week as the Iraqi government continues the police force training effort in the country.

The Jordan International Police Training Center in Amman, Jordan, graduated 1,440 new officers, the Adnan Training Facility, Baghdad, 80 specialized course students, and 99 graduated from the Al Kut Regional Training Academy.

IPS basic training runs recruits through instruction in the fundamental basics of policing skills and the techniques and ideals of law enforcement in a free society.

The specialized policing courses include basic criminal investigation, police mid-level leadership, incident command system and police internal controls.

The one- or two-week specialty courses are intended to augment the eight-week basic police training new recruits undergo prior to service and the three-week training course for prior service officers.

Officers attending the courses came from areas throughout Iraq and will return to the respective stations for continued duty immediately following graduation.

[rocksblues]

LOLOLOLOL!!!!

[Soul Seeker]

"They lost power and they want it back."-Condi

Gee, sounds like the Dems!

[Howlin]

Is he saying that the reason there is fighting is because we didn't pay the Iraqi army enough money???

I'm sorry for asking so many questions: I am getting ready for company and a surgery patient coming to stay here!

[MEG33]

I almost had apoplexy over his diatribe...Deep breaths.
SORE LOSER!

[penelopesire]

LOL..CONDI SETTING HIM STRAIGHT AND SHOWING HIS IGNORANCE ON THE SUBJECT! Maybe if he had shown up for the security briefings he would know what is going on..LOL.Kerry just interrupted because Condi was exposing him.

[JeffAtlanta]

What is that flag that someone is holding up behind Rice?

[prairiebreeze]

He sure as HELL didn't represent me there. Frankly I dont' really think he represents Americans. He represents himself and his elitist cronies.

Kerry is coming down as the bad guy in this hearing. This was all pre-arranged. Probably the reason he went on the tour, came back when he did. He's willingly playing the heavy today.
