Why don't you take your whole post over to Flame?
You're beginning to sound as immature as Scott Evil.

>"today's journalists seeking defeat and civil war in Iraq"......" perpetuating the huge lie and myth that 'Iraq is worse off now than it was under Saddam"........

Let me point something out to you.
This is 2006, not 2002.
Military generals and even James Baker are saying this is a QUAGMIRE.
Short of fire bombing all of Iraq or dropping THE bomb on them, we are being defeated, and it IS slipping into civil war. And a large percentage of the Iraqis want to LEAVE now.

Quit your sniping and leaving smiley faces after it.
