How is the war in Iraq?

The media never tells me what I want to hear(especially here in Canada). I want to know if we're fighting a losing battle, how many resources we're putting into this, casualties etc. Anybody have some real stats that actually speak of a war, and not propaganda?

It be interesting if somehow, someone found out and knew more than the media does and has readily available access to newschoolers.com and makes sure the truth is put here first.

no. dead is at 736 (american casualties). it is not a losing war, it can be done. more troops are needed, and they are coming.

when the americans turn over the country to the iraqi provisional government, Iraq will not be completely soverign, many duties will still be delataged, and the US will still be in command of coalition forces.

as soon as the country stabilizes (relatively speaking) more infrastructure can be put in place, and the Iraqi national defence force can be trained further and grow in numbers. once the Iraqis have the resources to police themselves, coalition forces will leave and Iraq will be a soverign country once again.

however, my bet is once everyone leaves, the shit will hit the fan and civil war will erupt. the planned elections will not happen, and after bickering and fighting one side will emerge (Sunni vs. Shite) and a dictatorship will exist. democracy is not possible in the Islamic culture as it exists today. perhaps in 20 years.

just for the record the actual number of dead is between 1200-2000 and the wounded is more then 15000.


but the army has a very sneaky way of dealing with casualties. thats why the zionist controlled media is saying that 700 some troops are dead.

i met a soldier a while back one thing i can say is that there is no such thing as the iraqi police, they are just a bunch of iraqi with weapons so badly abused that they barly work, people who drink and smoke on the job and have no clue wahts going on.

and ALSO, wounded means they didnt die suddenly. if u get shot dead centre and die on the spot its a KIA..if u get shot and die from internal bleeding 5 mins after...its a wound. so the death count is proll way way higher

in response to ElGato's post ''i thought canada doesnt have any troops in iraq?''
me and my family are american but we're landed immigrants here in canada. I am a dual citizen. I consider the US a part of me as much as Canada.

There is no way to win a guerilla war, that simple. Just look at the israel palestine bull shit. Even if we declare victory and put in a new government there will be insurgents who will throw the country into turmoil. WE need to get out, but that probably won't happen any time soon.

Mikey I hope you get home safely. I can't imagine what it is like to be in a war, thanks for putting your life on the line for us. It's nice to have neighbors to the north helping out our cause.
