Its fairly hard when you don't explain a single thing you say when asked to and just drivel on about "their leaders" and post a link to the fox network.
But hey I will ask a third time, feel free to explain what it is your talking about.
Keep asking. I don't have the time to pull the info (AGAIN) for someone wanting me to do the research for them and then bask the sources.

So not only does that not make sense but also you have lost this arguement.

> I think we're fighting a losing battle.
Today 157 people were killed in Baghdad. On Saturday their parliament was bombed and one of the main Baghdad bridges was blown up; on Sunday at least 34 people died in six bombings. Around 35 people are dying in that city every day, averaging over the last year. (And of course that's not counting the handful of US soldiers killed every day in Iraq.)
Imagine what it's like to live in a city where the Virginia Tech massacre would represent a better than average day.

4 Bombings in Baghdad Kill at Least 183

BAGHDAD (AP) - Suspected Sunni insurgents penetrated the Baghdad security net Wednesday, hitting Shiite targets with four bomb attacks that killed 183 people—the bloodiest day since the U.S. troop surge began nine weeks ago.
Late Wednesday, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki ordered the arrest of the Iraqi army colonel who was in charge of security in the area around the Sadriyah market where at least 127 people died and 148 were wounded in the deadliest bombing of the day.
It was the second massive blast at the market since Feb. 3.
Nationwide, the number of people killed or found dead on Wednesday was 233, which equaled the highest daily death toll since The Associated Press began keeping records in May 2005.
Interior Minister spokesman Brig. Gen. Abdul-Karim Khalaf declined to comment when asked about the staggering number of deaths Wednesday, directing an Associated Press reporter to Brig. Gen.Qassim al- Moussawi, the military spokesman. His phone was turned off.
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates called the bombings "horrifying" and accused al-Qaida of being behind them.
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Don't have to imagine, I've lived there, which is exactly why I understand the troop surge.
It's a hard fact for some to accept but having the military there acting as a "buffer" between the battling groups truly does make a difference. Would you honestly rather have some soldiers there fighting to make a difference or would you prefer that people be left to their fate?
As much as people don't like to admit it the underlying job of the US soldier is to give their life for the safety of the innocent. We are an expendable asset, and as long as one of us dying saves the life of one single civilian than we have done our jobs. So many people sit in there nice safe homes and complains about how we don't need to be there because dispite the troop surge there are so mnay bombings, but without the troop surge it would be twice as bad. No amount of soldiers can stop the attacks on innocents, but more of us can at least make it harder for those that intend to kill innocents to do their job, and this is a small victory. No one single victory wins a war, it takes time, that's all we need, time, and lots of it. Quit screaming about troops getting killed, it's par for the course and in the end it's for a greater good.History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.
