our great country lost :(

Care to explain?

How did we lose?

your great country was dragged into a huge ass shit hole because of georgieporgie, i would have thought that a) you'd be glad to get rid of him and b) be open to letting someone fix his huge catastrophes wether it was Obama or not, i think he will do good for your country

I think Bush did as good a job as anyone could have considering the circumstances.

Really? Are you sure?

+1.

There's things he could have done differently, sure. No president has been put in a situation like 11Sep02. He did what needed to be done IMO. He did things Clinton should have done, but didn't have teh balls to do.

Patriot Act I & II.

Not Vetoing the Bailout.

Asking Israel to give up land "for peace."

Huge black marks IMHO. But I think this new prez will make us miss Bush. We'll see.
At least the MSM will sugarcoat everything so that we'll feel good about it.

Really? Are you sure?

Ya rly.

Below is an article about the extreme success of our missions in Iraq. Something that is conveniently not reported by the shitbag US media, who would rather have you believe that our President is some sort of evil corporate villain, and Obama is the only answer to that problem. This election was disgusting, and once again I am thoroughly appalled by how fucking stupid the majority of the people in this country are.


Ready for a shock? Below is an article from the London Times about our
military.


Winning Isn't News
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY



Iraq : What would happen if the U.S. won a war but the media didn't tell the
American public? Apparently, we have to rely on a British newspaper for the
news that we've defeated the last remnants of al-Qaida in Iraq .

London 's Sunday Times called it 'the culmination of one of the most
spectacular victories of the war on terror.' A terrorist force that once
numbered more than 12,000, with strongholds in the west and central regions
of Iraq , has over two years been reduced to a mere 1,200 fighters, backed
against the wall in the northern city of Mosul .

The destruction of al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI) is one of the most unlikely and
unforeseen events in the long history of American warfare. We can thank
President Bush's surge strategy, in which he bucked both Republican and
Democratic leaders in Washington by increasing our forces there instead of
surrendering.

We can also thank the leadership of the new general he placed in charge
there, David Petraeus, who may be the foremost expert in the world on
counter-insurgency warfare. And we can thank those serving in our military
in Iraq who engaged local Iraqi tribal leaders and convinced them America
was their friend and AQI their enemy.

Al-Qaida's loss of the hearts and minds of ordinary Iraqis began in Anbar
Province, which had been written off as a basket case, and spread out from
there.

Now, in Operation Lion's Roar the Iraqi army and the U.S. 3rd Armored
Cavalry Regiment is destroying the fraction of terrorists who are left.
More than 1,000 AQI operatives have already been apprehended.

Sunday Times reporter Marie Colvin, traveling with Iraqi forces in Mosul ,
found little AQI presence even in bullet-ridden residential areas that were
once insurgency strongholds, and reported that the terrorists have lost
control of its Mosul urban base, with what is left of the organization
having fled south into the countryside.

Meanwhile, the State Department reports that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri
al-Maliki's government has achieved 'satisfactory' progress on 15 of the 18
political benchmarks 'a big change for the better from a year ago.'

Things are going so well that Maliki has even for the first time floated
the idea of a timetable for withdrawal of American forces. He did so while
visiting the United Arab Emirates , which over the weekend announced that
it was forgiving almost $7 billion of debt owed by Baghdad , an impressive
vote of confidence from a fellow Arab state in the future of a free Iraq .

But where are the headlines and the front-page stories about all this good
news? As the Media Research Center pointed out last week, 'the CBS Evening
News, NBC Nightly News and CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 were silent Tuesday
night about the benchmarks 'that signaled political progress.'

The war in Iraq has been turned around180 degrees both militarily and
politically because the president stuck to his guns. Yet apart from IBD, Fox
News Channel and parts of the foreign press, the media don't seem to
consider this historic event a big story.

Addendum: The reason you haven't seen this on American television or read
about it in the American press is simple--journalism is 'dead' in this
country. They are controlled by Liberals who would rather see our
troops defeated than recognize a successful Republican initiated response to
9/11

i don't agree with the addendum. there are plenty journalistic medias in the US. the report itself lacks sources. president bush can broadcast anything he wants if it was important. apparently, this news wasn't.

With all the success that we have had in Iraq though, we've heard nothing about it. The only thing we are told about is American body count, and civilian casualty. Shouldn't this be front page news?

MSM = boldly liberal bias.
Fox = bleh.

depends who doesn't want the news on there. maybe the military refused to confirm or deny for intelligence reasons. who knows but this whole conspiracy theory isn't clear for both sides. thats why I'm cautious but im glad for this particular news and should be on the front page if it is true.
