Iraq. Wednesday, Jan 17: 3 US Soldiers, 32 Iraqis Killed; 72 Iraqis Wounded?

*@*@*

Don't care what others think... this war is bankrupting us. I say we pull out and many other where I live agree! Its been so long most have forgotten what we are truely fighting for... and so have I :(

Well, I haven't forgotten completely.

only p

The number of American soldiers killed in Iraq is still lower than the total # of soldiers killed during Clinton's Presidency. Where is the outrage about that?

I find it humorous that we always point out the number who have lost their lives in Iraq since 2003 but never compare it to any other war. We also never here how there have been around 3900 US soldiers killed in Iraq since 2003 but in that same time frame we have lost 66,450 people to murder in the US. There have been 375,774 rapes and nearly 17,000 killed in drunk driving accidents and we won't even discuss abortions or suicides. I hate seeing us lose heroic men and women but at the same time freedom comes at a price. Pull out now and we will open the flood gates of terrorism in the US! My brother proudly served 2.5 years in Iraq on 2 different missions and he will tell you today that he would do it again.

I would also like to see the number of Iraqis killed by their own kind before and during the war. My guess its not any worse now than before just the media hypes it up.

I think this looks like you are cheerleading for the terrorists.

Is that the impression you wish to give?

same as any birth, example: birth of a child....painfull, full of screams, lots of blood....!

...but later a beautiful baby!!!!

this is the birth of a nation, messy, nasty but give it time, a democracy will be born if we stick by it!!!

you people need to stop thinking "typical American" (instant gratification) ...things take time and effort!

I think you need to stand on the "wall" and get a realistic view of what is going on or just step back and let people do their jobs.
I know this will go over your head but I thought I would try.

The Iraqis are more and more behind us and they had 32 killed compared to our 3 that says it is working.They're starting to be free to do what they want again,walk with their kids without fear,that's something that will be taken away from us if we don't stop the terrorist now.Where do you want to stop them,There or Here? If we don't stop them the next thing you'll be complaining about is "Why are we not protected in our homes, terrorist are everywhere!"

I think more people were killed by gangbangers here in the USA.

Mutt

That really doesn't say a lot to me. How were the U.S. soldiers killed? Who killed/wounded the Iraqis?

I think the most of the Iraqis were killed/wounded by insurgents, and it is a good thing we are there. It probably would have been much worse if we had pulled out.

I think that you need to spend more time talking to people who have actually been there than some pro-terrorist web site.

I'm pissed. Because I check those everyday. I checked it yesterday morning, and no soldiers had been killed since Sat. Guess it is different today. It beaks my heart actually, that is what I think.
It was hostile fire.

I think I would rather be fighting the war on terror there than here. War is not pretty. But unfortunately it is more effective in safeguarding ourselves from terror than putting our heads in the sand and singing kumbaya

Very heavy price we are paying for being in Iraq. An unnecessary war. We have to borrow the $10 billion a month we are spending in Iraq. So add the interest to the cost.
Iraqis continue to die in large numbers, so I don't think we should continue the occupation of that country. We should be spending the money here if at all.

War is expensive. I am pleased that we are still being allowed to kill the enemy.

seems america again made great progress in bringing freedom and democracy to iraq.
If no more iraqis are left,mission accomplished.
