Answer 1

The 'surge'succeeded in getting the resistance to back down temporarly.  This is typical insurgent policy....when the enemy attacks...retreat.  When the enemy retreats....attack.  If we put several thousand cops on the street in a bad neigborhood the bad guys would stay home until the law left.  Soon thereafter the bad guys would retake their turf.  In the meantime the lights don't work, the sewers don't work, wate service is a crime against nature, rthe infrastructure of most of iraq is totally trashed, the police are corrupt, the Iraq military is totally dependent on the US, 10% of the population has abandon the country, most of the doctors and other professonals have left, and the Iraqi 'government' is still holed up in Fort Gree Zone.  This 'surge' is working' is as big a scam as 'trickle down' economics.  No, bro...the 'surge' is not 'working'!  We're 'not winning' and there is no 'progress'.  Buy a clue:  When was the last time there was any 'news' on TV anywhere about the 'war'.  Contractors coming back from Iraq all know what a balls up Iraq is...so does the military.  The only folks that don't seem to know are the republicans.....ditto heads want to believe...they don't want to KNOW!  

Answer 2

Awesome day for Iraq, doesn't mean jack for the US. It would be nice if a troop withdrawal would work and then it will be an awesome day for the world. Staying in Iraq only prolongs the inevitable instability in the Mid east beyond control.

Answer 6

too little too late from obama.  

Answer 7

Overall a good interview...if only O'Reilly could learn how to quit cutting people off so d**n much.  I'm no fan of Obama but it was annoying.

Answer 8

Absolutely.

Hopefully, most of America will continue to realize Obama is an empty suit who gives a good speech.

Answer 9

Correct!!!

Answer 10

Really?  What did the American people gain from the Iraq invasion?  Other than thousands of dead Americans (and who knows how many Iraqis), and billions of dollars of debt.  What did we gain?

Our politicians have made us the most hated nation on Earth.  We have a foreign policy that rewards governments that do what our politicians want with foreign aid, and bombs those who don't.
