I am always amazed at people who can't choose whether to root for the "home" or "visitor" team,

If we were not lied to about the reasoms to invade Iraq. there would not be any documents to release... it is not about home or visitor team, it is about the lies of George and his merry bunch of draft dodging neo cons...

Have not read the whole thing and probably will never, but one issue struck me was that Iran was supporting the Iraqi resistance... an unintended consequence...

Prior to our invasion of Iraq, Iraq and Iran were sworn enemies... and our actions essentially destablized the whole balance in the ME... why none of the draft dodging neo cons could not see that is amazing...

Our actions there have done nothing positive, we have killed over 100 K women and children(collateral damage), destroyed a country, seen over 4K+ of our troops killed, 33K+ injured, and a total current cost of 700 billion and the "legacy" costs of our wounded vets will be over 1.3 trillion..

What did we accomplish, besides bankrupting our country???

Over and over again will hear about how bad Hussein was, if he was so bad why didn't we take him out through covert ops... it would have been a whole lot cheaper, and less lives lost.

Pretty sure that was an "away" game.
The Iraq war reminded me of a football game I went to recently. UMass at Michigan (my best friend's kid plays for UMass). We gave them hell, it was close, but we went home with an "L". Afghanistan is more like UMass going into Boise State or Oregon. No chance in hell. Around the second quarter you want to go home but you can't. Seems to take forever until you get on the plane. 52-9

Looking forward to that game with NH at Foxboro! Truck leaves in 15 min!

This viewpoint is frightening.

So basically, you have zero morals or integrity whatsoever, and are upset if THE TRUTH about shady American actions abroad comes out.

Freedom and Information come at a cost, you want to trade your liberty and freedom for security???

Don't let the door hit you on the way out


Said it 9 years ago and going to say in once more, we should of never gone over there in the first place, we were not at war with Iraq we are at war with Al-Qaeda. Now we have the blood of 100k people on all of our hands, Thanks G.Bush!!

Stupid sheep get scared and make stupid choices.....When the blind lead the blind they both fall into a ditch.....

Sounds like this document leak shows most civilian casualities were from sectarian violence.

Our invasion directly contributed to all of this...

The number of causalities (of all sorts) according to these docs is 100k, terrible, however the Saddam regieme was murdering people wholesale for years as we saw from the gas attacks and mass graves.


BTW the real number of causalities were far less than the left had been claiming.

The Saddam regime that WE put in power, you mean. Funny how we all of a suddenly have a problem with murdering dictators when they are no longer puppets of our government.

So previous to us invading Iraq, Muslim sects all got along great and would never resort to violence?
Or are you mad about "just" the 100k deaths that have taken place within that particular border during the last 7 years?
In other words you're more a fan of using this as political fodder as opposed to actually being outraged at pointless deaths, which have been going on and on for ages in the middle east.
