[QUOTE="brett636, post: 276048, member: 249"] Truth? You put a lot of stuff into your posts, but little, if any of it is truth. Some are half truths, other statements are flat out lies, but very little content could be classified as truth. Once again you buy into this liberal nonsense that we must pull out of this war without victory. We are there, and we must finish what we started. When this war began the vast majority of the U.S., including the congress, supported it. Even your hero Hillary Clinton voted for war. What you don't understand is the very politicians that you support who claim they want to end the war are not saying so out of principle, but out of lust for political power. During a democratic presidential debate last Sept. all the candidates were asked if they could promise to have all of our troops out of Iraq by the end of their first term. Not a single democratic candidate would make this promise. Finally, despite the disagreements from former U.S. Generals the President's war strategy is working. Have you read the all the good news coming from Iraq lately? This is a good example of the half truths you post. Your comment on Iraq's oil output would be true if this were 2005, but a quick search on google turns up [URL="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/5117170.stm"]this article[/URL] from the BBC, published in June of 2006, stating how Iraq's oil output is starting to near their pre-invasion averages. What you did get right was your comment on the sharp increase in demand. Countries like India and China, who have large populations, are seeing double digit growth in their economies causing a strain on the oil supply. This proves you have atleast a rudimentary understanding of the free market economy. Our best chance from getting away from this madness is to tap into our own oil reserves right at home, while simutaneously weening ourselves off of oil alltogether by getting technologies such as the hydrogen fuel cell into the mainstream market. The report you posted had some largley exaggerated numbers, but the basic premise of it was to state that war is expensive. Those of us living in reality already understand this concept, so I fail to see your point in posting it. [/QUOTE]
