We need to keep this in perspective. Iraq is a low scale insurgency. It is not a major war. In major wars hundreds to thousands are lost every month. Battles have 100+ losses. None of this is happening in Iraq.

Iraq is a low scale insurgency barreling towards a civil war. It was mismanaged from the start and continues to be mismanaged. When compared it to Afganistan, which was a well planned, implemented, and executed campaign, it looks like the boondoggle that it is. Our soldiers deserve better.

Re: mismanaged from the start

Utterly False.

Consider the following figures, displayed here for your exclusive reading pleasure.

1) The number of Americans killed by the Iraq Military this year (2006) is zero.

2) The number of Americans killed by the Iraq Military last year (2005) is also zero.

3) The number of Americans killed by the Iraq Military last year is (2004), you guessed it, zero.


The Iraq military, the "worlds 4th largest army" has been defeated.

This is no small accomplishment, and should never be overlooked.

Thank you for showing your hand. I have you marked, troll.

Now I can utterly ignore you.
