Iraq Violence Continues As Death Toll Nears 300

I've never seen such hypocrisy in my whole life. All I see here is Republicans this Republicans that. How can any of you type a single word of blame. Surely democrats have heard the expression "Constitutional Checks and Balances".

Just what the hell have your elected representatives (in the majority) been doing up there in DC? I'll tell you what they've been doing. They specifically gave Bush permission to go to war. If they felt they were duped they should and could have stopped it. They haven't for 5 years and don't plan on it if they get the white house.

At least Republicans have some sort of convictions and have the moral courage to stand by them. What I see here from democrats is finger pointing and blame for a war you sanctioned and have consistently enabled. The days of saying you were lied to are well past.

While democrats have blamed Republicans for the deaths of women and children, they have made darn sure the president didn't run out of ammo. The lowest kind of hypocrisy.

I keep reading all these brilliant suggestions from the left. Included with the genius of these insights is the thoughtful necessity of pointing out that everyone else, republicans specifically, are idiots.

Why in the heck haven't these great minds put an end to all these troubles, especially since they hold a majority in both houses? How did these enlightened souls, lose two presidential elections in a row to someone they have informed us is a moron?

This is a sad state of affairs and I can understand their angst. All the polls seem to indicate that if there were an election today, THEY WOULD LOSE AGAIN!!

Must suck to be so smart, yet be relegated to shouting nasty crap from the peanut gallery.

This Chaos is created by Bush Administration and their brain dead followers and supporters in the name of Exporting American Democracy by Force, either you want it or not!

Now, go vote for McBush to carry on Bush's Failure.

One more fun fact for republicans.

at the same time they were busy arming Saddam with chemicals, the Christian Right adopted the Mujahideen as their favorite project. They even sent around a "biblical checklist" for grading US congressman as to how close they were to the "Christian" political line. If a congressman didn't support the radical Muslim Muj, he or she was downgraded by the evangelicals and fundamentalists.
One of those people was a young member of the fabulously wealthy Bin Laden construction dynasty, Usama.

No surprise here. The left always supports armed militant groups when they try to overthrow a democratically elected government. They don't have the courage to try anything like this at home but they sure do love to live vicariously through somebody elses violent revolution and cheer the fighters on.

It has been reported that the fighting in Bazra is between Iraqi forces and BREAKAWAY factions of the Mahdi army.al Sadr's cease fire has never been lifted, so how can he be calling for a truce when his army isn't involved?

The Republicans are obviously in melt down mode over this! Notice how they have commanded their cheerleaders to swamp HuffPo with their ridiculous lies and pathetic claims, that no one but an imbecile would believe.

Of course none of these cheerleaders are actually going to do anything to change how bad things are going in Iraq. It's much safer sitting in their mother's basement, cheerleading on the criminals responsible for not only unleashing Saddam on Iraq, but also of engeneering an illegal invasion of a soverign country.

That's Republicans for you, one minute your their hero, their golden haired boy, and then next minute your their sworn enemy. Can't trust a Republican, a lesson Saddam learned the hard way!

Hmmm, so does Iraq now have the right to invade America?!

forget these politician - you guys remember 911? can you imagine 5 years and tens of thousands Iraqis dead - every single day dealing with death and violence. Antidepressants are selling like McDonalds on the streets of Iraq. I wonder why.

"Since the fighting began on Tuesday 358 Mahdi Army fighters were killed, 531 were wounded, 343 were captured, and 30 surrendered. The US and Iraqi security forces have killed 125 Mahdi Army fighters in Baghdad alone, while Iraqi security forces have killed 140 Mahdi fighters in Basra. "

This isn't the first time al Sadr had declared a truce when he's been boxed in. The man's a coward. The Iraqi government gave al Sadr an ultimatum which it's not willing to back up. Now it appears, it's the Iraqi government that will cave in to an ultimatum and give al Sadr what he wants. What a black comedy Iraq is.

Wake up people! Bush, Cheney and the Neocons. Promoted this Democracy Crap in Iraq for the oil only! And it has failed. BIG TIME! Iraq will never be a democratic country!! The countries of the middle east have been under fifedoms for centuries, and no despised invader will ever be able to instill any form of alien governance on these people of the middle east. Even under Sadam, this system was in force. With allegiance to Sadam, under threat of total eradication of that clan, if it did not abide by his dictates.
It is time for the dumbells in DC to face this fact! Give up, get out ! And let these people settle thier freedom as they see fit. Once that has been settled. Offer assistance in what ever valid way they may need, as friends, not pompious thieves after the wealth of the country as we are now.

oooh, he's running scared offering a truce, that means Bush & freedom won again! ;-)

We handed control over Fallujah, , Sadr City, and now Basra to al-sadr only to have to take back that control.
The repukelietard policy of bribe and appeasement is as big of a failure as everything else they have tried in Iraq.

When is enough enough?
When can we get back to hunting down the real Al-Qaida which is not in Iraq and stop giving Osama Bush-Laden a recruitment r
