31. I'm still stunned and confused by their constant assertions that Iraq was peaceful.

Iraq was peaceful? Seriously? When did THAT happen? Never seemed that way from what I saw. mccain and others whining on about how we won over there. We did? When was THAT? I was watching the news, too. I never saw any such thing. Never saw their precious so-called "surge" accomplish anything decisive. Maybe it cleaned out a few corners, but it didn't solve the problems over there, or stanch the blood flow, or shut down the violence over there - at least not that I saw.

What are these people talking about? Except a lot of the same bullshit, hauled back out and reheated.
