YES ETHNIC CLENSING IS HOW WE SHOULD RULE ISNT THAT RIGHT YOU IDIOT!

Bush is finding this to be true. It certainly was true in the Balkans after Tito departed.
I GUESS GEORGE APPROVES OF NERVE GASSING THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT CIVILIANS! OR PERHAPS ETHNIC CLENSING! IS THAT HOW YOU WOULD RUN IRAQ?

its not how we rule...its how they rule. saddam did not just pop out of the ground from hell....and start killing everyone...no he was an iraqi. and those who supported him iraqi. there must be a fairly large radical element in iraq or there would have been no saddam...or insurgency for that matter.
....and i dont buy this "most of the insurgency is forign" business either......the dept. of defense estimated their number at the end of sept. 06 at 3,000. or how about col. sean macfarland...commander of 1st brigade combat team,1st armore division.... at dod briefing in ramadi.. on july 14 06...."forign fighters are very few in number,although as far as we can telll they constitute about 100% of the suicide bombers".
the number of terrorist attacks went up from 1,800 in 2004 to 3,474 in 2005 as did the fatalities in iraq due to terror attacks from 4,000 in 2004 to 8,300 in 2005 and insurgent attacks went from 23,496 in 2004 to 34,131...car bombing almost doubled to 873 as did suicide car bombers to 411 and roadside bombs more than doubled to 10,953....and according to the iraqi interior minitstry at least 6,000 iraqis have been kidnapped since july of 20003....all of these figures do not come from the liberal media....they are from the united states department of state and the office for the coordinator for counterterrorism.....and they are very disturbing.

Your thesis is wrong. It was commen knowledge that a minority of the minority population of iraq was rulling it. Saddam took power with pure force and ruthlessness against his openents. And there was not common support as you try to indicate in your post.

your correct in your assesment that saddam used force to rule....and yes the majority of the population did NOT support him.....however enough did to keep his power and murder hundreds of thousands of thier fellow countrymen....fight a war against iran....invade kuwait...stay in power for decades and so on. it does not take many radicals to destroy a nation or to rule it for that matter.

SEE NOW YOU ARE THE PROPAGANDIST. I LIKE THE SPIN YOU PUT ON THAT! YOUR DISCUSTING AND THIS SHOW YOUR TRUE COLORS. BLAME BUSH NO MATTER HOW REDICULOUS FOR MORE VOTES! ITS THE LIBERAL WAY! YOU SHOULD HAVE TALKED TO MY IRAQI ARMY BUDDIES ABOUT THAT ONE. THE THINGS THEY WOULD TELL YOU WOULD BLOW YOUR MIND!
