We're making enemies faster than we can kill them
For months that has been a saying on my bumper sticker.

Now a Lt. Col., Frederick P. Wellman, who works with the task force overseeing the training of Iraqi security troops, has confirmed it:

"We can't kill them all," Wellman said. "When I kill one I create three."

We would do the same thing if we were invaded.

1. The fact that either we have to put a half million or so into the country
or be overpowered eventually should dawn on some of these fuckwits who support this horrendous war. And the more troops we put in Iraq, the more it costs the American taxpayer. Now I UNDERSTAND that this is rather simplistic, but one would assume that eventually what this war is costing the citizens of this country would be the issue to make the fools change their attitudes about their lying AWOL leader.

3. I keep hoping the economic cost will wake people up since the
loss of human life hasn't.

4. Dead 8 year old Iraqi boy
Newsday printed a picture of crying man in Fallujah holding the dead, bloody body of his 8 year old son. I wonder how many insurgents in that family alone we created?

5. I'm glad they printed the photo. If the media hadn't been hiding
the deaths since the beginning maybe we'd be out of there by now.

It's not about freedom and democracy. It's about oil, power and imperialism. Iraqis are worse off now than they were under Saddam. They want us to leave.
