Report: 70 Percent of Insurgents in Iraq Come From Gulf States Via Syria (how is that a civil war?)

“What the hell? I thought only up to 10% of Insurgents were foreign?”

Then you would be one of the “minds of Mush” that has been sold a bill of goods by the leftist media, DESPERATE to cover up ANYTHING that might help Bush, or justify our presence in Iraq...

I’ve heard this FOR YEARS from family and friends that have done several tours there, yet this is the FIRST time I’m seeing it in the American Media, outside of a few Milblogs...

Nancy pelosi just doesn’t get it...

[philly-d-kidder]

We have two carriers and about 20 War ships Patroling real Close to Iran in an Uncheduled excersize per the English ARAB TIMES... not a Couple of Dingies like the Brits..

[tcrlaf]

“We” have known this FOR YEARS, but it only NOW beginning to seep into the American press?

[MinorityRepublican]

Another FReeper made an accurate point that it's likely that 70% of Insurgents captured are Foreigners.

If it was really true that an overwhelming majority of Insurgents are Foreigners, we'll have done a better job of getting a handle of security situation in Iraq.

But since the Insurgents (most of them anyway) are Iraqis, then how can we tell them apart from ordinary civilians in Iraq?

The towns near and around the Boarders are being Bermed up and with dry Moats everyone is being Finger printed and Issued ID cards.. so you have to go in and Out of these Towns via checkpoints... the Terrorist are without ID’s so they will be able to assimilate less and Lesss.

You have no idea what anyone is doing. Shouldn’t you get back to your Bush/Republican bashing?

[Clemenza]

Well, my sister now lives in Clarksville. Amazed what a HUGE house they can get down there for little money.

Then again, you are in Clarksville...

[wardaddy]

yep....Clarksville, God love em is an unusual place

[johnpannell]

I see. To criticize our government’s failure to even attempt to close the Iraq/Syria border and its abject failure to guard our OWN border is Bush/Republican bashing.

Oh, I thought we lived in a FREE REPUBLIC. I’m sorry.

[4woodenboats]

I scrolled back on your posts a bit. ALL you do is bash Bush and Republicans, including recently referring to him as a rank amatuer who was going to cave to the Rats on the funding for the troops. There is nothing suggesting you are offering constructive criticism whilst debating a point. Rather, your posts are nothing more than one line pot shots against Bush and Republicans, and as such are extremely boring and quite Trollish.

If you're just looking for a soapbox to hurl insults, try DU. I think you'd be more comfortable there.

You're taking up valuable whitespace here.

[johnpannell]

See private reply... Not only DUmmies have much to criticize the President about. See the thread from Jim about how Bush has betrayed the conservative cause.

Will the Congressional Republican leadership find their spine?

I would think folks here could withstand the criticism when the Republicans have gone astray.

[4woodenboats]

Where's the " thread from Jim about how Bush has betrayed the conservative cause. " ????

[johnpannell]

Mainly failures of the GOP, but I think we can agree our President has his hand in most of these:

[4woodenboats]

Just as I thought - you lied.

All trolls lie, so I was pretty sure you were. The thread is about the lack of spine in the GOP, and that's why it has GOP in the title, not Jim's thread on how Bush has betrayed the conservative cause as you claimed in your PM.

Jim Robinson did make some constructive suggestions for Bush in post #234 that I agree with, but you have totally mischaracterized the thread and put words in his mouth.

Begone, Troll, and don't send me any more of your BS PMs.

[johnpannell]

No lie folks...Unless 4woodenboats knows something I don’t Bush is the head of the GOP! No?

Oh... I forgot some here think this is “worshipbush.com”. Just like others think it’s giulianiuberalles.com or mccainisgod.com. In all cases, dissenters are branded trolls and admonished to join the kooks at DU.

Admit it, our President is not perfect! I’m sure some here believe “No Child Left Behind”, the “Farm Bill”, run away domestic spending, the medicaid prescription drug progrm and not illegal alien amnesty are all true to core conservative beliefs. Not I! We don’t even have to mention a seeming unwillingness to do what’s necessary to win over our enmemies.

I’m sure you added me to a “twit list”. No problem... I’ve done likewise.
