TweetIt's looking good over in Iraq. Huge transition from even 6 months ago. I just watched ole Geraldo Rivera (sp) walking thru what was one of the most dangerous communities in Baghdad, now safer than some U.S. cities. Former insurgents themselves are "seeing the light" and joining the good fight for Iraq. Massive progress here lately. If you listen to alot of media, it's no better over there. They were just walking thru Baghdad without bp vests or helmets, stores were open, people were out...Can't argue with that.

I'm not saying it is or isn't better cuz i don't live there but the media can easily alter what they show you and I have a hard time believing that insurgents all of a sudden have seen the light and are on "our" side, what ever side that may be and hard pressed to believe its that safe, well only if 90% of the insurgents are dead. lol

They didn't say all insurgents, and it has been anything but all of the sudden. What's it been, 6-7 years?

TweetMy question is what do you think Iran and/or Syria is gonna do once we pull out? If you ask me any percieved control or influence that we have over there right now is just illusion. Iran will run the show, I garuntee ya.

Tweetvery possible kite...

They show a short bit on it every morning with Geraldo. If anyone thinks the increased safety and the progress is a media trick, tune in to Geraldo on Fox tonight at 8 eastern, I think it is. Their going to have a full show on it.

He's on right now. He just said, "I don't know if it's permanent." so, everyone understands the threat if we just pull out. Don't forget, we'll have an embassy over there.
