Esteem for US rises in Asia, thanks to Iraq war
[SurfTalk - Political Graffiti] But even the previous president, who did deploy some anti-American rhetoric, sent 3600 troops to Iraq (more than any nation except the US and Britain) and negotiated a free trade agreement with the US.

What the Iraq War is About
[Infowars] I know the answer to the existential questions are not answered by the Reformist Jew movement of Israel, nor is it answered by the likes of Jerry Falwell and the ridiculous Pentacostals of America. Those are your bricks in the wall, the very books that claim to teach you about the Judeo-Christian saga are the ones that are going to keep you walled into your little world perspective.

US military school calls Iraq war a debacle
[National Post - Top Stories] Apart from the deaths of more than 4,000 U.S. military personnel and about 82,000 Iraqi civilians, the war is costing US$10-billion a month while diminishing the United States's standing internationally, straining its military and diverting "manpower, materiel and the attention of decision-makers" involved in the war on terror, the study says.

Iraq War 'Blank Check' Balloons
[Atlantic Free Press - Hard Truths for Hard Times] “Although some of the factors behind the rapid increase in DOD funding are known — the growing intensity of operations, additional force protection gear and equipment, substantial upgrades of equipment, converting units to modular configurations, and new funding to train and equip Iraqi security forces — these elements” fail to justify the increase, the CRS said.

When Sons of Iraq grow up
[The Long War Journal] During General David Petraeus' testimony to Congress on the progress of the war in Iraq, he referred to the great security gains of the last year, which largely hold even in the face of clashes between Shia militias and government forces in Sadr City, Basrah, and much of the South. General Petraeus credited a substantial portion of those security gains in many areas of Iraq in the last year to the duel phenomena of Sahawa (Awakening) councils and the formation of local security teams from out-of-work men fed up with violence.

A Civil War Iraq Can’t Win
[Middle East Progress] Even if U.S. and Iraqi forces are able to eliminate Al Qaeda in Iraq, there are still three worrisome possibilities of new forms of fighting that could divide Iraq and deny the United States any form of “victory.” One is that the Sunni tribes and militias that have been cooperating with the United States could turn against the central government.

Races To Watch: Pro-War Iraq Vets For Congress
[The Strata-Sphere] I heard on the radio when Lieberman was on Sean Hannity’s show yesterday that there is a relatively recent poll out showing something like 59% favoring McCain over Obama (40%) to handle Iraq. If someone can find that poll I would appreciate it, because that is a clear indication that America is deciding it wants to end the war with victory, not surrender.
