Skyrad 0 #1 November 2, 2006 Interesting results, seems the Iraqis generally approve now on the attacks on US forces in Iraq. http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2006-09-27-iraqi-opinion_x.htm Time to go?When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Skyrad 0 #3 November 2, 2006 There has been a significant rise of support in the last year and the Shia community has been the largest area of growth for such support. Its interesting the rise in sniper attacks in Bagdad in the last couple of months as well, I don't think November will see a drop in fatalities or attacks on US forces.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Skyrad 0 #7 November 2, 2006 Make no mistake we all (UK & US) will pay the price on this one. Iraq has advanced the cause of Islamist extremism by decades, once we pull out there it will be seen as an endorsment by God on the Jihad. Following success against the Soviets and the percived downfall of the Soviet empire due to this (Note I said Percieved) then success in the Balkans, continued successes in Chechnya (Another rallying point) and now successes in Afghanistan if and when the US cuts and runs from Iraq it won't be long before those committed to this 'Jihad' will be travelling to attack the US and UK in numbers not yet seen. The genie is out of the bottle, 'bring it on!' well they picked up the gauntlet and are now slapping us hard with it. Question is do we stay and fight them there on on our streets? They won't be making frontal assults but Suicide bombing is something on its way (Already arived over here) and I belive its more a question of time before a massive attack possibly using a simple 'gun design' Nuke happens in the US. We see a long time as a decade but to the enemy a decade is not even a blink of an eye. To their eyes God has grante them massive success against his enemies (us) already. The box is open and even Pandora herself can't close it now. Bush has delivered on his promise we are in a war without end.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

We will withdraw... and they will attack us... and then we are all going to meet near a little town called Megiddo. THAT is what Bush and his followers believe and are praying for.

A few immigrated because they were too extreme even for the regime they came from, and the regime thought they were troublemakers, so they moved somewhere more liberal where they could express their fundamentalist-extremist rantings without getting beheaded.

juanesky 0 #17 November 2, 2006 Once again, it boils down to tolerance, but the problem is that slowly but surely we are loosing patience. It is a war of culture, and unless they cleans themselves, they will leave this gruntling task for us to do and ill prepared to say the most."According to some of the conservatives here, it sounds like it's fine to beat your wide - as long as she had it coming." -Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
