Graybar must have had an extreme shortage of red LEDs due to the holidays and substituted blue LEDs in their place for your classes' "ET Phone Home" segment.
of course. When I say stable, I mean "95% less fuckos in the streets firing their ak-47s in the air like goddamned idiots who didn't take any sort of physics classes".
If they head to the edges of town and fire out into the desert there's plenty of sand dunes to act as backstops. That said, according to the news reports I've read, the violence has decreased with each election in Iraq. During the first election there were 119 attacks on polling sites, during the second, there were 19. Today, they only had a few random mortar attacks in Baghdad and Mosul.
It sounds like the insurgents are running out of motivation, ammunition or both.
Yes, while this war (pretty much all of the War on Terror) has been the most fucked up event on the world stage in my lifetime, I do wish the Iraqi people the best and hope that they can make their new, Democratic government work for themselves.
If the Iraqis can do this, the Iranians and other less free Arab states might find that they have a problem on their hands: namely, their own people. It's already happened in Lebanon.
Same here. We already did this, might as well finish it, but anyone who says that they can't begin decreasing troop numbers and planning withdrawal, even if the plans are over the next few years instead of immediately, doesn't really want to leave. (and are probably the same people who put us there to begin with when we didn't belong)
It could be interesting if we can make sure we leave a strong government in its place. We need to focus on rebuilding their military, and getting police on the streets, and getting the hell out of there, since we're part of the thing the insurgents are fighting against anyway. They want us gone, even the normal iraqis want us gone, so they can finally have their country back and start running it how they want.

As for the finger, I wasn't about to taste it. :)
Now we just need to make their government stable and get the fuck out. :)
some would argue that our own gov't is not stable, but i digress.
If they can make it there, they stand a chance :)

bombing the polls only hurts native iraqi citizens. It's a retarded idea, and it's good to see that sort of thing implode the insurgency.

Those are iraqis who voted in their election.
