So much for Allawi's credibility.

So? there will be more terrorist attacks, but terrorists in Iraq have been dealt a major blow. We can't prevent every single terrorist threat. Allawi is a brave man who is risking his life for his beloved country and we should respect that. Zarqawi and other al-qaeda thugs in Iraq, along with other terrorist groups have decided to declare war on democracy. Well the Iraqi's certainly showed them that terrorism has not worked and will never work in preventing people to express their freedom.

<ahem>

Main Entry: 1de·feat
Pronunciation: di-'fEt, dE-
Function: transitive verb
Etymology: Middle English deffeten, from Middle French deffait, past participle of deffaire to destroy, from Old French desfaire, from Medieval Latin disfacere, from Latin dis- + facere to do -- more at DO
1 obsolete : DESTROY
2 a : NULLIFY <defeat an estate> b : FRUSTRATE 2a(1) <defeat a hope>
3 : to win victory over : BEAT <defeat the opposing team>


Now, are you going to keep apologizing or admit Allawi is a puppet?


BTW, to your advantage, this wasn't terrorism.

Iraqi's won, terrorists lost. Thats it. Allawai said terrorism was defeated in the sense that the Iraqis turned out in strong numbers even as the terrorists were threatening to murder them. That shows how much these Iraqis want freedom after living for generations under supression. Use some logic please.

Of course he does not mean terrorism has been totally defeated, but the message of terrorists these days is to stop democracy from spreading. They have somewhat shifted from saying "America the satan" to "democracy is evil". This is Iraq's first step towards a democrat govt, we will see how future elections turn out. But just be glad the Iraqi's are saying to the terrorists: You lost, we won.

I lve it when conjur posts definitions. He usually ends up biting himself in the ass by doing so and has done so once again. Look at 2b in his definition.

Any hope the terrorists had for their delusion (and not only THEIR delusion) of having popular support was defeated. It was worse than defeat, actually. It was thrashed, gored, trampled, shredded, and thoroughly dismembered. The Iraqis have spoken about who and what they support and it's readily apparent that it's not the terrorists.

Of course, that fact still won't prevent the terrorist apologists in here from attempting to claim otherwise.

A yup, ofcourse they won't admit it if directly challenged - they'll just post all the bad news possible to claim we are failing....but that doesn't mean they support the terrorists😉
