I am so sorry -- I didn't mean to make you cry.

I have several dear friends there too and recently one of them told me their deadliest enemy right now is the Americian Liberal Media ...

Oil dreams? Insurgents disrupt oil flow routinely as a result of sabotage and oil prices have hit record high of $49 a barrel. Who did this war exactly benefit? Was it worth it? Are we safer because Saddam is holed up and Al Qaeda is running around in Iraq?
================================================== ========

Saddam is holed up???? Are you sure a journalist wrote this? What a strange thing to say about Saddam's imprisionment. He was "holed up" when he was hiding from the American troops but I wouldn't say he was holed up now---he is impisioned. Sounds like this was written before Saddam's capture. Something is funny about the story, I don't care what date it has on it..

Oh my I just read this without of course reading the date. I asked DH did they end the war...lol. Then I read where Nana said she wished Mur was home and I thought oh my they called him back out, hardcore war must be going on, so I grabbed the remote to tune into CNN or something...lol. Then I have enough sense to read the date...lol. Thank God Mur is still home. I don't think I could handle another deployment of his...haha.

Interesting statistics Regardless of where you stand on the issue of the
U.S involvement in Iraq, here's a sobering statistic. There has been a
monthly average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations
during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,867 deaths. That gives a
firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.

The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100 ,000
persons for the same period. That means that you are about 25% more
likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capital than you
are in Iraq.

Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington.

ought this kind of intresting had to post it.

Not sure how old that data is ... but this is current...

MNF-Iraq reported: http://www.mnf-iraq.com/index.php?op...12&It emid=21

Violence reduced in Baghdad
Sunday, 14 October 2007

CAMP VICTORY, Iraq – A reduction in violence in neighborhoods on Baghdad’s northwest side and an improved security situation are allowing reconstruction efforts and economic gains to flourish, according to the commander of the brigade that has patrolled the area for nearly a year.

...

The implementation of the Baghdad Security Plan, Operation Fardh Al-Qanoon, allowed the Dagger Brigade to move into neighborhoods with a permanent presence, Burton added, with the end result being an 85 percent reduction in violence in the area since May. ( in an area which spans most of northwestern Baghdad )

“Of our 95 ‘Mulhallas,’ or neighborhoods—58 of them are now considered under control, 33 remain in a clearing status with violence continuing to go down, and four remain in a disrupt status,” Burton noted. He said murders in the area, which a year ago occurred more than 150 times each week, are down to an average of five a week.

That is fewer then in New Orleans ...

No doubt in my mind who I am going to vote for.

SPUD!!!! Thats right folks, unless someone better comes along, I will write in Spuds name. So if you hear, on Election night 2008, that someone in Ohio voted for someone named Spud, it will be me.
