Instead, we had Iraqi leaders kissing up to the “death to America” leaders in Iran. Instead, we had local councils demanding to be paid off instead of working to rid their cities of al-Qaeda. Instead, we had power brokers in Baghdad sticking it to George Bush at every opportunity they had.

The Iraqi attitude toward the United States is mutual among the 53% who voted for the guy who opposed The Surge.

Now it is dawning on some Iraqis that having the U.S. military leave is not a good thing.

Iraq had a choice to make. It could have been South Korea. Instead, it decided to be South Vietnam.

Men in Iraq, start growing your beard now. The Taliban likes beards.

Hasn't it always been a matter of allegiance goes to the
highest bidder in tribal cultures?

Seeing Iran and North Korea, what’s the chance Iraq wouldn’t have nukes now if we didn’t invade them? And people were always comparing Iraq to Vietnam. I forget — did we win in Vietnam?

Thanks, Antara, I ran onto Brutally Honest by accident. A good blog though
