BAGHDAD - The U.S. military on Tuesday announced the deaths of five more soldiers, making 2007 the deadliest year for U.S. troops despite a recent downturn, according to an Associated Press count.

or did the US simply send more troops to there death for their war of choice?

2007 hasn't even ended yet.

Insults are the ammunition of the unintelligent - do not use them. It is okay to criticize a policy, decision, action or comment. Such criticism is part of healthy debate. It is not okay to criticize a person's character or directly insult them, regardless of their position or actions. Derogatory terms such as "loser", "idiot", etc are not permitted unless the context clearly implies that it is not serious. Rule of thumb: Play the ball, not the person (i.e. tackle the argument, not the person making it).

RIGHT of SOME, LEFT of OTHERS

If it is a choice between them and us, I choose us

Just trying to beat the Canadian record in Afghanistan! Was that 2006?

Kissinger referred pointedly to military men as "dumb, stupid animals to be used" as pawns for foreign policy.

Is it a competition?

Yes, and a lot of practical math. I wonder how many Allied troops died in 1944 compared to 1941...damn...should have quit in '43!!

Don't worry BC lots more will die, for the war of choice.

All wars are by choice....lots more will live.

All wars are by choice, well as may be said. "No sh*t sherlock"

But then why Lie about it?

why didn't Bush just say, we want this war, we choose this war.

It would have at the very least been truthful.

Also saving me from having to read the endless streams of BS justifications.

Is the surge working or just changing location to Afghanistan? This is now a war between the west and the east and even though the Taliban and alQueda aren't friendly, alot of the muslims and others who hate the west, most America, will keep fighting because they feel they have nothing to lose and everything to gain! and its hard to say how Iraq is going to ended up, the country is so destroyed by the bombs and alot of the richer Iraqis moved out and it will be years before they can come back. How can the US help to reconstruct this country when itself, is about to go into a recession, thanks to Bush spending. When Iraq was called Persia, Khan went into that country and killed a million people, Bush has done the same.

Because the pretext for war was necessary. Nobody is forcing you to read anything.

If by pretext you mean something serving to conceal plans; a fictitious reason that is concocted in order to conceal the real reason then I guess you'd be correct.

Of course I am correct....it's the same sort of pretext that got Canada to bomb Serbia.

Now get with the program Bush, the US is evil and Canada is home to the Blue Berets. You get to shoot at your enemies our peaceniks glorify Peace Keeping whilst our soldiers stand with their hands tied by Peacekeeping ROEs. Genocide takes place and we can do nothing but watch, isn't PeaceKeeping NOBLE.

Oh yes Serbia, please enlighten the un-enlightened BC.

Yes - it's called a war. Smash the coubtry to bits then rebuild. Thats what we did with Germany. Thats what we did with Japan. And look at Germany and Japan now. Excellent rehab stories - why? Because we pulverised them. Because we didn't have a fucked up bleeding heart attitude toward war, expecting battles with no casualties - expecting us to restrain from blasting a residential building from which rocket fire is coming. Surge I say...and surge some more!

I've read a few of your posts and I have yet to see any evidence that you've actually done any reading on the subject. In fact, any subject at all.

Maybe you read some history.

We kicked the living shit out of the Germans and nuked Japan. Now they are both reasonably good upstanding world citizens. We need to do the same with these assbackward medievil countries in the mid east.
