The fact that you have the Kurds, Shia, and Sunis is excellent! They won't allow each other to monopolize power...It won't be like Iran or Afghanistan where the entire population sways wildly because of changes in religious or political beliefs... WHEN WILL THESE RIGHTWINGERS BE SENT THERE AS SOLDIERS OR CITIZENS AND SEE HOW GOOD THE SITUATION IS????

1. Caller asked how Iraqis felt about American administrators

taking over Saddam's palaces instead of living like the soldier living in tents. The implication of the caller, I believe, is that American administrators "took over" as dictators, replacing Saddam.
The guy avoided this issue and said that soldiers are living in the best conditions the US could provide them and are getting reasonably well fed.

2. Damn That Media For Showing Torture

Yep...the American media messed things up by showing the world what the Iraqi people knew what was going on...torture. This goon deserves to be shipped over on the next plane. I'd love him to say all this crap on Baghdad TV and see how many happy campers check in.

The ignorance these assholes have over the history and cultures of these people is what is spread to the sheeple and leads us down a darker and darker road. Ya think this loser would have the same perspective if it was his country (Politzania) that was invaded and it was his life that had been ruined.

What you're seeing here is a great recruiter for Al Queda and any Iraqi insurgant group.

3. A caller: should have bombed Fallujah, go into Iran, win the war.

Zinsmeister agrees...
