Doesn't look like folks are buying your BS. Maybe another line of work might be in order for you. Isn't clarity a wonderful thing?

Hmm…the CIA (who’ve not gotten one big thing right in the past twenty years) say that al-Qaeda isn’t a big deal in Iraq versus the iraqis who have been living with al-Qaeda running their cities and villages saying that they are a big deal to them.

Which shall I believe?

If they haven't got anything right for 20 years why did Bush and Cheney believe them?

I stopped reading after that first paragraph because…how could I take anything else you said seriously?

Even the CIA admits that *al Qaeda is not a significant force in Iraq*.

You "invade Iraq" folks told us that it would be over in weeks rather than months. You told us that people would throw flowers at us. You told us it'd cost us nothing because we'd be repaid in oil revenue.

Now it's years later. It's not the "American Media" who are sick of you — in fact, the "American Media" has gone out of their way to suck up to your warmongers.

It's the American people who want this war stopped! Every poll without exception shows that a majority of Americans want out of this crazy war!

Perhaps if we'd had competent management, we might even have caught bin Laden — remember, the famous terrorist? That would have slowed down Al Qaeda. But you people wanted to risk everything on a war with Iraq — "just a few weeks!" you lied to us.

Well, your chickens are coming home to roost. People have caught on — you have been lying since the start. There's never going to be any progress in Iraq. Bush is going to run the clock out with no progress and then leave — then you immoral bloodthirsty crazies are going to blame the next incumbents for "losing" Iraq.

Let's hope people won't forget what you told us in 2002.

can you honestly say that once the couple of thousand al Qaeda operatives in Iraq are defeated then all will be well. all this al Qaeda talk is really laughable. they only became a "problem" in Iraq after every other mission failed and a scapegoat was needed.
