4/4     With the mad cleric Mr. Sadr inciting violence, are Shiites
        turning against us?
        \_ who said they were ever with us?
           \_ bush people. these shiites were supposed to be overjoyed.
              \_ I seem to remember right after we toppled the government, a
                 lot of Iraqis were basically saying "Thank you very much!  Now
                 please go home."
                 \_ wouldn't you?  we could've just gone home but the chaos
                    left behind would've been worse for us, them, and everyone
                    else.  just because a few people riot and stomp around is
                    no reason to abandon the rest to barbarity.  we'll go when
                    it's time not when some bomb belt wearing lunatics say so.

9/6     Haven't heard Iraq news lately. Does that mean we're defeating
        Al Qaeda?
        \_ My theory, seriously, is that the Shiites and Sunnis in Iraq are
           busy bombing the shit out of each other in shops and mosques,
           and only occasionally harming US soldiers that happen to be in the
           way, so Iraq hasn't been in the news so much.

        'well OF COURSE I THOUGHT EVERYONE KNEW THIS STUFF' when
        I read the newspaper and that The Onion should give up, since

1/24    What a surprise, most (90%) of the insurgents in Iraq aren't Iraqis
        http://csua.org/u/kjz
        \_ Doesn't it say 90% of the suicide bombers are foriegn, not of all
           insurgents.  In fact, I think insurgent is the wrong name for these
           guys.  Terrorist really is more apt.

           \_ Not sure if you're trolling or not, but just in case...
              The Iraqi insurgents aren't stupid.  They're just lying low
