This is just a little tidbit about what\'s going on in Iraq...
http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/04/03/iraq.alsadr/index.html"A senior Iraqi official said that more than 1,000 Iraqi soldiers deserted in Basra and other hot spots during the fighting. There were others who simply took off their uniforms and joined the Shiite militias the army was battling, the official said."
^^^i think that this is rather disturbing,...you send the iraqi army into these hotspots to get rid of the militias, and over 1000 soldiers just up and desert the mission?,....then some soldiers takin\' off their unforms and joining the militias themselves?...the u.s. is just wasting their time over there....i\'ve seen videos of the iraqi police force jumping up and down and celebrating with these militias while firing their AK\'s up in the air,...bush really has the u.s. hands tied here....i really want us to leave, but i know in reality we can\'t....cause iraq will turn into even more of a chaotic mess than it already is....and i guess once that 600 million dollar u.s. embassy is finally finished over there,...the insurgents or militias or whatever will just use that thing for target practice....
The sad thing is that some soldiers actually feel like that they are doing the right thing being there, when in actuality, it couldn\'t be further from the truth,...the war was wrong from the jump,...maybe one day iraq will become a somewhat stable country,..but by that time the u.s. will have a paid a heavy cost than it is already paying now with soldiers lives and financially...
