The progress being made? Since when has iraqi violence been linear and predictable? That's why it's important to look at the year as a whole as well as month to month.

Yes, "progress." It's the exact opposite of what you and yours consider "good news"!Originally posted by: shadow9d9
Progress.... *shakes head*Originally posted by: palehorse74
This thread is nothing more than a partisan effort to counter the noted progress being made during the last five months in Iraq. While the title and stats are true, the entire intent is obviously disingenuous... I would have given at least an ounce of respect to the OP if he had also acknowledged the recent progress - which would have been much more honest. But, instead, we get one sentence of partisan crap: "IMO, the carnage is only going to continue... for many years."
bah...
No and I've stated about 100 times why.. I guess I could look to copy and paste previous statements... YOriginally posted by: palehorse74
simple: "you and yours" refers to all of you who ignore or deny the recent (last five months) progress being made in Iraq.Originally posted by: shadow9d9
"Us against them" mentality... What exactly is "my and mine"?... Please enlighten us with some quotes to back up your assumptions....Originally posted by: palehorse74

Didn't think so.
Does the shoe fit?
answer: any negative press concerning Bush, Iraq, or America in general. Many people here seem to thrive on it, as it somehow justifies their agenda.Originally posted by: shadow9d9

Perhaps I'm wrong about you specifically, but it does apply to too many damn people around here...
Yep. It's like the stock market. You cant judge it on a day to day basis, but look at the overal picture-it always gets better.Originally posted by: Stoneburner

That is my point.. You cannot adopt a Us vs them argument without assuming. It makes it easy to just assume someone that disagrees with you on one issue must also disagree with you on every other issue.Originally posted by: palehorse74

Really? Iraq isn't even at the level of security it had late 2004 to early 2005. Stop making up facts. If you look at the large picture iraq has gotten worse year on year.Originally posted by: blackangst1
