ETHNIC CLEANSING AND SEGREGATION
Bush's surge escalated ethnic cleansing.

"The map above demonstrates that Shias have been gradually taking over
all of Baghdad (noted by the green mass that now covers much of the
city), wiping out Sunni communities that stood in their path. Center
for American Progress analyst Brian Katulis estimated that Baghdad,
which once used to be a 65 percent Sunni majority city, is now 75
percent Shia.

The ethnic-cleansing murdering spree is said to be worse than the
genocide in Rwanda in 1994 and is approaching the number who died in
Cambodia's infamous "Killing Fields" during the Khmer Rouge era of the
1970s.

ISLAMIC LAW
With Saddam's secular government gone, Iraqis are enforcing Islamic
law. Women are getting body parts chopped off for violations.

PROSTITUTION
Iraq women are turning to prostitution to feed their children.

OIL CONTRACTS
Polls indicate Iraqis (Shiites and Sunnis) are united against foreign
countries taking control of their oil. There are reports that members
of parliament have been offered $5 million each to pass oil law.
Members of parliament are afraid they'll be bombed or arrested if they
oppose the oil law.

LEGISLATURE IS FRAGMENTED--IRAN IN CONTROL ROOM OF IRAQ'S FUTURE
"The speaker of Iraq's fragmented parliament threatened Tuesday to
disband the legislature, saying it is so riddled with distrust that it
appears unable to adopt the budget or agree on a law setting a date
for provincial elections. . .

As the United States begins reversing the expansion of troop strength
-- back to the pre-surge levels of about 130,000 -- Iran has quietly
placed itself in the control room of Iraq's future. Iran has major
military and political tools available to it until U.S. forces
eventually leave and has sunk deep roots inside the country's fertile
Shiite political power structure.

While the Americans say they have seen a decline in Iranian funding
and arming of rogue elements of Muqtada al-Sadr's Shiite militia, six
key Shiite figures from across the political spectrum have told The
Associated Press that Iran is pressing ahead in several directions."

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is planning on visiting Iraq
next month. "Shiite leader Moqtada Al Sadr's movement, supported by
Iran, welcomed the upcoming visit. Talal Al Saeedi, a Sadr spokesman,
said: "Ahmadinejad's visit is important to supporting Iraq to banish
the American occupation and fight terrorism."

Which of those 16 links should we click on to see the map mentioned in
the first line of text?

Why do you try to cram so many irrelevant links into your post?

Make one point and use on or two links to back it up.

But 16 ?!!!

Bush, America are not forcing these people to do this and they are not

Iraqis, whom are not as bad off as you like to make out(hence you
citing stuff before the surge).

> Bush's surge escalated ethnic cleansing.
BS, Bush, America, etc are not making them kill each other. Again, the
buck stops with the Iraqis.

BTW, nice try with the propaganda...To bad everyone is smart enough to
see your citing old **** that happened before the surge.

<snip it was better to leave Iraqis living under Saddam>
The west also has murders, prostitution, etc...So, with your inane
argument, maybe we need to put in a strong man to clean things up,
right? Seriously, if it's good enough for the Iraqis...

America hasn't taken a dime...So your bs war for oil argument is just
that.

When are we leaving?
It's cost us nearly 4,000 lives, seven times as many wounded, $3/4 trillion
so far

When are we leaving?
 
War sucks. Yet the NSA/CSS sadistically enjoy it.

The NSA/CSS are very cruel to our USA soldiers. They treat them like
slaves. They beat and kill our soldiers just for fun.

In one of the wars America was fighting, a US tank caught fire and
exploded -- ignited by the NSA/CSS. Soldiers were being burned alive by
the tank's explosion and were in excruciating pain. Instead of giving
the wounded soldiers medical aid, the sick ****ing NSA/CSS shot those
soldiers dead so that they would stop screaming. The cold-hearted
NSA/CSS found the soldiers cries annoying so they shot the soldiers
instead of assisting them. This makes it the thought of being drafted
very frightening.

It is a bit upsetting that in one of the wars America fought, the
NSA/CSS attacked the USA soldiers.

The NSA/CSS intentionally blew up the American tank just for the sheer
cold-hearted pleasure of it. The tank blew up and soldiers were running
out of there screaming in pain because the fiery explosion was burning
their skins.

Then, instead of providing any medical aid to the good-hearted American
soldiers, the NSA/CSS shot them to death. The NSA/CSS were annoyed at
the soldiers' screams so they just shot them.

The NSA/CSS then told a heinous lie to the American public "Our Soldiers
Died By Friendly Fire".

This is very upsetting to warm-hearted compassionate individuals -- like
me -- who respect right from wrong.

The NSA/CSS are lying cowardly POSs.

The NSA/CSS were physically there and purposely burnt and killed the troops.

The NSA/CSS are sick ****s who love it when good people suffer.

Doesn't anyone think it's wrong for NSA/CSS -- who are supposed to be
protecting Americans -- to abuse our soldiers?

How would you feel if you had a relative or friend in the military and
this relative/friend was grossly mistreated and murdered by the NSA/CSS?

NSA/CSS are the most anti-American, non-patriotic pieces of **** there
are. NSA/CSS are the greatest threat to national security.

A) If that were true("Mob Appeal" fallacy)...There is a reason America
doesn't
work by mob rule.
B) A poll of a couple hundred people doesn't prove ****, only a simp
would site them as proof of anything.

Your ignorance of the way polls work is abysmal

This is the result of only one poll.Others have confirmed its accuracy:

Military.com Poll: War Support Waning
Military.com By Christian Lowe July 18, 2007
Nearly 60 percent of readers who participated in a recent Military.com poll
said the United States should withdraw its troops from Iraq now or by the
end of 2008. More than 40 percent of the respondents agreed the pullout
should begin immediately because "we're wasting lives and resources there."

A similar number of participants, however, felt that U.S. troops should
remain in Iraq, with 41 percent of respondents concluding that America
should fight "until the insurgency is totally defeated."

The online poll, conducted over three days starting July 10, was open to all
Military.com readers. (Military.com membership was not a requirement to
participate.)

More than 5,440 votes were cast in the poll that asked: "When should
American troops withdraw from Iraq?"

Poll respondents were given three reply options: "The end of 2008. That's
plenty of time," "Now. We're wasting lives and resources there" and "Not
until the insurgency is totally defeated

The buck stops with the occupying force. They are required
by international law to do everything they can to maintain
law and order. To not do so is a war crime.

Bush and his oil Nazis want to keep Iraq's oil in the ground
in order to keep you paying higher gas prices at the pump.

There is no occupying force, ****wit. The occupation ended with the
election of their government.

That would be the job of their government...Not that the US isn't
doing everything in its power to keep the Iraqis safe.

But your argument is for the US to get out of Iraq? <God forbid you

No, sry ****wit, the Iraqis are currently pumping it out to pay their
bills.<God forbid you ****wits pick up a newspaper>

They are currently pumping 3 million barrels a day...So this lie, like
all your others, is bs.
