We're winning in Iraq

Did anyone see this chart published by the NY Times the other day? It's from a very recent Pentagon presentation on the situation in Iraq.

For the past 2 years we've been told numerous stories on how things are getting better. Just this week Bush said we're winning in Iraq.

I'm not just posting this for political points, I'm serious here...and you're focused on a stupid John Kerry gaff?

Too much reading. This is way better.

spence 11-02-2006 01:38 PM

I see you've proven my point.

much like our basketball in the olympics.



Godbless all those who have lost their lives and their families and loved ones in Iraq and Afghanistan and all the secret ops losses as well.

What a long strange trip it has been and will continue to be for unseen years to come.


Godbless us all

What I would lie to know is when is some AAG, going to have enough balls to file charges against the NY times and its editors for aiding and abetting the enemy by releasing all of these classified documents and secrets? If there is ever another terrorist attack, and I'm sure there will be, the NY Times is going to have more blood on its hands than anyone else, except for the perpertraors.

spence 11-02-2006 02:27 PM

So it's more upsetting that the NYT reported this story, than the fact that Bush continues to misrepresent what they're being told?

Wonder how many Troop deaths can be attributed to the NYT and those who support them.

Care to compare that to the troops killed by arrogant and reckless foreign policy?

Imagine if we judged the progress of WWII on a selected one week snapshot.

mrmacey 11-02-2006 02:37 PM

I guess the difference between you and I is the point that I blame troop deaths on the enemies killing them.

Apples and oranges.

This isn't about progress alone.

Well, considering my agenda is honest and effective government...I guess it doesn't fit.

Of course they are. Like I said, I blame Troop deaths on the enemy.

OK Ben - it was funny at first now it is getting old... Knock off the Anti Spence (or dedicated antianyonewiththeexceptionofpeta) stance...

thanks...

spence 11-02-2006 03:05 PM

Don't know why anyone can't have a discussion about what's going on?

It'd be a pretty boring existence if we all agreed on everything. And as much as I like to devour Spences lame arguments I think he's a decent guy even though he wasn't raised properly and his values are skewed.

People can't even entertain a dialog...

Iraq is going from really bad to worse. Does anybody care?
