Yes, and Dick Cheney predicted that U.S. forces invading Iraq would be greeted with candy and flowers. "Most analysts [in Jerusalem] and abroad," the Times noted cautiously, "take a different view." Indeed, historical examples of civilian populations cheering on aerial bombardments are rare, if not nonexistent. Despite his and Cheney's obvious affinities, one would expect Netanyahu to be made of saner stuff.


We were cheered as liberators. It took about a month before the insurgency started.

The worse thing in Iraq we had to deal with initially were just looters.

We didn't even deal with that.

BB is an ass and a neo-con who thinks he's American (he studied at MIT and Harvard). When he chose to "restart" settlement construction just days before Obama's middle east envoy was going to come it was clear he was going to try to undermine Obama. I have to imagine that the ties setup between AIPAC, the GOP and people like Adelson guided this. Hell BB lost the last Israeli election but the winner, Livini, was unable to build a coalition.

I don't think we need to go to war with Iran, the government sucks but the people are better educated and at least the under 30 urban crowd liberal then their Arab neighbors. Given time the government will fall, question is how do we stop a country with nukes from destabilizing? I think like N.Korea they want the bomb not to attack another country but to hold the world hostage, we go tit's up and you have to deal with rouge nukes.

Instead of war, we should just drop sanctions and use our best weapons Coca-cola, Starbucks, Nike, etc... It's pretty much what Nixon did with China and it works.

By whom? That photo of the statue of Saddam being taken down was staged. It was actually taken down by a bunch of Marines.

Israel can go get f*cked. I want people voting based on what they feel is good for THIS country, not what they think Israel might want.

Iraqi's.

I was not there at the liberation. I first came to Iraq in August 2003. Half way through my section LT was replaced by someone who had been in country since the beginning.

He had a shiatload of pictures of it all. He was in Baghdad the day it fell (and I am not talking about the statute incident)

Yeah those last two wars in the region turned out so well. Let's do it again, only against a determined and trained opponent.

Vote Republican! Mitt Romney has said he'll go to war with Iran! Yayyyy!!!

Or vote for Ron Paul and have your vagina turned into state property! Yayyy!!!

Or vote for the guy who has ended one war and will have ended the other one by 2014. Yayy!!!

Seriously, the Republican party will bust our budget and our military via a war with Iran if we elect a Republican president.

And remember that Iran is 4 times the size of Iraq and we put 1.5 million military personnel into Iraq.

That's means if we invade and occupy Iran, we will re-institute the draft. And in the end it will ruin our military.

The sounds you hear aren't drum beats for war with Iran. They are cash registers ringing.

/another Republican voting for Obama. Again.

If you can't see that Iran is the next Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya, you should step back into reality. The people pulling the strings of Obama and the administration have declared Iran to be more than a "tiny" country.

After Obama loses, the new administration will be blamed for the war there. So the democrats will be free to scream bloody murder as the will not have to clean up the mess they made.

That is the latest revision of history? I expected a little more creativity.

Gergesa: If the Israelis want a war with Iran they can fight it themselves. Count me(and hopefully America) out.

You don't seem to understand who runs Bartertown.

Rwa2play: AIPAC's only interested in Israel's Likud/Israeli Betanui's well-being, the world be damned.

Yes, I remember the pictures of the "cheering" Iraqis giving US the thumbs up that were hailed by right wingers who didn't know that that is an obscene gesture in the Middle East.

Silly person.
You actually believe it makes a difference by party affiliation of whoever holds the office of Chief Puppet?
Really?

/incredible, knows how to type and spell,,,

Can a pipeline be built in Iran?
