Bush cares a lot about those brave soldiers.
He sheds tears when they die
and if their limbs get blown off, he says they can have new ones!

Generals in War Colleges all over the world, & all thru history have been brainwashed to believe that they have the God-given right to send young men to death to support their careers. Betrayus & Powell have been thru those schools. they are not heros, they are war-mad war lusters.

The good generals are already gone. The ones left are willing to toe the Bush Bullshit line. No general worthy of the title would ever sell out his soldiers and his country in service to the likes of Bush and Cheney. General Betrayus is a disgrace to his uniform.

Are there no men of honor left in the military or in politics? Are their jobs so important to them, that they give up all their ethics and personal honor? How can they let all these young servicepeople go over there to that hell hole and not do anything? How do they sleep at night? All the blood money they are making will eventually bring them misery. I hope I live long enough to see them suffer. It would take a couple of truly HONEST men to speak up, tell the truth, and then MAYBE the rest would be shamed into starting to act responsibly about this mess that Georgie created. I despise Georgie. He is an arrogant, stupid, cross-eyed, bow-legged troll.

Pleading for patience?

How many years has Bush been pleading for patience? How much more patience does he think we have?!

I'm pleading for peace, dammit! Is anyone caving in to ME? I'm pleading for a withdrawal NOW! Is anyone standing by ME?

My 19 year old nephew leaves for Iraq at the end of this month. Is Bush even caring about HIM?

Petraeus should sign a letter of promise that he'll take no job or reward in the future from the military/industrial sector.

This general uses the same excuses and defenses for this unholy war, like all the previous Generals did, who are long gone and are retired .I think one of the reason why these Generals don't dare to speak up, and tell the thruth, because they are all still old fashion fighting men. Here is the good guy and across the river is the bad guy. None of them have a clue how to fight a guerilla war. They are learning little by little to get to know the country and it's cultures . By the time they have a clue, they are ready to transfer home and get another star. It's down right embarrassing.

It's not my son or daughter in Iraq, but I sure as hell wouldn't want someone else's kid to die for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
NOTHING will be different in 6 months when we HAVE to leave because ALL the military is depleted, on these insane rotations which keep getting longer and more frequent. It's not my son or daughter who's marriage is in shambles,who's house is being foreclosed on, who's children don't know their parents.

NONE of that MATTERS to Cheney, as long as he can exit while the War is still going on,,,he WINS.

But each kick of the can involves human lives:

i watch the whole hearing, had the same reaction i did to my first wedding night, IS THAT ALL THERE IS??????!!!!!!

"Kicking the can down the road"...

This is exactly what they're doing. Six more months? According to bush the mission was accomplished May 1, 2003!

In the words of Bill Maher

M"any don't think gays should be serving in the military

at least they know when to PULL OUT OF A SH*T HOLE!"

The only football analogy to the Iraq War is:

It's just a game to Cheney

Who the f*ck gets hurt while he exits the VIP skybox really doesn't MATTER

What I found disturbing is that neither Petraeus nor Crocker gave a "Report" to congress. They gave speeches instead.

When Petraeus started talking about our "founding fathers" and the difficulties they faced, I started gagging.

Any troll who maintains Petraeus is a "Soldier" can ESAD as far as I'm concerned. He is a politician, a spinner, a distorter, and I SINCERLY SINCERLY SINCERLY hope that these are not the values instilled in the rest of our armed forces.

While rich white men discuss their games half a world away, here's what the Iraq people think of the 'surge'
