shuacThis kind of "it happened to me so it can't be wrong" thinking is exactly what will put McCain in the white house.
12920Not true! The owner of the piece allowed all but the despicable crap. If you had looked you would have read his comment as well as some negative ones. "...In all, about 75% of the comments were positive and supportive, 15% were disagreeing but respectful, and 10% were ugly, demeaning, rude, and hateful. So much for HOPE."
rougyIraq is worse now than it's ever been you boneheaded son of a bitch.
I can't believe that so many Americans are stupid enough to swallow this shit.
Over 1,000,000 Iraqi's are dead since our invasion.
About 3,000,000 are living as refugees.
To this day Baghdad still only gets about 2 to 3 hours of electricity per day.
Get fucking real.
12920Dear rougy,
According to my IQ results I can unequivocally state that I am not a bonehead and I do know that my mother is a Homo Sapien and not of the canine species thereby rendering your first sentence less than credible.
By whose standard is Iraq worse now than it ever was? Lets see some qualified analysis to back up that statement.
Wow! Over a million dead since we went in and 3 million are refugees. lets see some credible source for those ridiculous numbers.
Electricity in Baghdad is rationed but they are getting more than what you state but the problem is 1950's infrastructure that cannot be upgraded overnight plus the problem of a now free and open market that the Iraqis are taking advantage of and adding a tremendous load to the antiquated grid. When pet shops are selling $2500.00 parrots the folks are doing far better than you think http://www.fortmilltimes.com/106/story/275868.html
last but not least, using a tired and hackneyed profanity only shows insecurity, inability to communicate honestly and a pathetic sense of self importance.
Octopussy@CaptCraig:
Body count
Problem is that nobody seems to be either bothered or capable of keeping track, but it is somewhere between 3,000 Iraqi civilians every month (that’s civilians only) according to the Iraq Study Group Report in Dec 06, or 655,000 according to The Lancet in Jul 06 (and a lot of less reliable sources giving numbers between 80,000 and 1,2m)
Electricity
“The Iraqi government is not effectively providing its people with basic services: electricity, drinking water, sewage, health care, and education. In many sectors, production is below or hovers around prewar levels. In Baghdad and other unstable areas, the situation is much worse.” (source: Iraq Study Group Report)
Refugees
Approximately two million Iraqis according to the CIA World Fact Book.
But then, who cares as long as some Iraqi's can afford parrots...?
