Makes one wonder how many of those trolls were being paid by al Qaeda to divert attention from Saddam/al Qaeda to Iran.
Don't know if al Qaida is paying them, but I'm sure someone is.

Hmm. You're actually making Rummy more appealing.
I'd much rather there be more border patrol agents placed on the border, than disarmed Guardsmen sent there as a temporary election-year publicity stunt. But maybe that's just me.
Buying more time for the Iranian R&D effort...
You do realize that Baghdad's homicide rate is lower than that of Los Angeles?
The trolls on FR are against anything that President Bush and his advisors want to do in the WOT.
Don't know if al Qaida is paying them, but I'm sure someone is.
We have had this discussion with others in the past about who pays the FR trolling moles. Some used to post left wing threads and replies 7 days a week and at least 12 hours per day. Even as a retired grampa, I don't have the time to do that.
Jim Rob and the mods have whacked many of the professional posting trolling moles in the past couple of years.
So who pays them. My first guess would be one of the phoney non profits bought and paid for by George $oreA$$ and his group hedge funders. The next guess would be how much of $oreA$$'s funding money of these pseudo non profits come from Opecker Princes and Thugs who hate America?
Our own Richard Poe has labelled these trolls as Electronic Brownshirts. Their job is to monitor sites like Free Republic and mixed sites re political stances 24/7, and they immediately respond to whatever positive has happened with negative BS and spin doctoring. Or they post ridiculous wet dreams from their pyscho sites to scare us or get us on the wrong track.
Have a great Father's Day!
Their country, their chlice. Refusing gives credence to AQ arguments you've just installed a pro-western puppet.
As does the foolish decision to build the supoer embassy in Vaghdad on prime real estate - very shortsighted and gives the insurgents, AQ and unfriendly media a visible easily recognisable symbol of an 'arrogant enemy presence forced on the Iraqis...many smaller high security complexes would have been better, or one big one outside the central district of the city.
Oops = Typos....
Chlice=choice
supoer=Super
Vaghdad=Baghdad
From what I just read they are building many smaller high security complexes.
The New Embassy
Indeed, the massive $592-million project may be the most lasting monument to the U.S. occupation in the war-torn nation. Located on a on a 104-acre site on the Tigris river where U.S. and coalition authorities are headquartered, the high-tech palatial compound is envisioned as a totally self-sustaining cluster of 21 buildings reinforced to 2.5 times usual standards. Some walls as said to be 15 feet thick or more. Scheduled for completion by June 2007, the installation is touted as not only the largest, but the most secure diplomatic embassy in the world.
The 1,000 or more U.S. government officials calling the new compound home will have access to a gym, swimming pool, barber and beauty shops, a food court and a commissary. In addition to the main embassy buildings, there will be a large-scale US Marine barracks, a school, locker rooms, a warehouse, a vehicle maintenance garage, and six apartment buildings with a total of 619 one-bedroom units. Water, electricity and sewage treatment plants will all be independent from Baghdad's city utilities. The total site will be two-thirds the area of the National Mall in Washington, DC.
Yes, but in one set of walls = 1 building to external Iraqi. A compound like that is sensiblem, but not so close to the heart of things. It looks arrogant and it dislocates the normal business and day to day life of the city. It should have been externalised (eg outskirts of Baghdad) if it's going to be lumped together like that.
