the Basra handover is an opportunity for the U.S. to wash its hands of a "mess" for which it has no solution. "This one is on the Iraqis" the American official said of Basra. "It's not up to us to fix this one."
I have always stated that the West should stay out of the M.E.Quote:

OK RAY, I will buy that,, You know for sure because you read it in a news article from the world media news.
How very good,, say to prove that you have a small bit of authentic to what you post,, How about you post the page of your passport that has your visa into that country,[ what ever date, just to prove that you know where it is] ya know, just to give a little authority to what you are posting..
And I will do the same when I call you Full of shit..
Would you like to post the visa page now?, I will have to dig out the book and scan the page, but I can do that for you..
are you drinking again? because in addition to the garbled syntax, your post is completely illogical.Quote:

are you saying that having gone to iraq is a prerequisite to posting on this thread? does this apply to all posters and all threads on TD? or is it simply that you're obsessed with me? eh BG?
btw, apparently you've been to iraq. congratulations. just out of curiosity....what decade was that in?
A very tiresome game we play here, arguing about which report is full of shit, which official is lying, which numbers are false.
yawn

Well someones tellin Porkies.
On one side, the Basra Police Chief and Time sound pretty grim.
On the other, Patraeus sounds very upbeat.
Time will tell I guess, we should know how it's really going soon enough.
^that's my point Sabang.
Notice I said "tiresome game we play."
Sorry Ray, you couldn't hurt my feelings with a shotgun.
actually, IMO the Time article isn't entirely negative.Quote:

FYI
even though this thread was started six days ago and based on events that took place last week.......in post #56 one of texpat's links is from september and the other from november.
Basra, I assume. This thread is after all about Basra.Quote:

still unanswered BG.
And the last one is December. A trend. Further bolstering my claim that Iraqi violence is on the wane in Basra (no infidels there to blame now) and things are looking up.Quote:

What is unanswered , I owe you no answers for anything, you post all sorts of shit that you read in papers, swear to it and have no idea what you are posting, have never been to anyplace that you post of, have never done anything thing that you post mean mouth shit about, so why in the fuck should anyone pay any attention to what you have to say about anything.
