Still no electricity surge

QCBUCKI,

I totally agree and for Bush to make "glowing" remarks about the "surge" is a crime that should be met with shoes hurled from thousands of feet everyday.

I know it's a pain but compose your post here and then copy and paste it into a word processing document BEFORE you hit the Submit button.

After submitting it you can discard the word document before saving it.

Regretfully, I don't see the Democrats prosecuting Bush and especially that evil Cheney for the havoc they've wreaked across the world and especially in Iraq.

Those two along with Rummy and Rove and others deserve to be spending major time in PRISON.

If poetic justice were alive and well, those prisons would be foreign gulags.

Yup. Agreed.

Fabulous progress in Iraq, isn't there? A testimonial to engineering knowhow, fiduciary discipline, and a stern countenance against the face of greed and corruption.

A kaleidoscope of mediocrity at a cost, so far, of only trillions of dollars and thousands of lives, uh, that we've been told about..

Soon, perhaps only thirty years from now, things will almost be up to the level they reached under Saddam - before we declared Mission Accomplished.

I will try again to get my post on. Still have a problem, and have asked all you out there for advice about losing an entire page/post when I enter to send it, and am instead sent to the or a sign in page, even though I HAD been signed in all along. It seems to happen when I write a particularly long post, and the window is open a long time...... Anyway, now the really important world
As I wrote befiore, the average American can't even conceive of what these people in Iraq are going through, now what a ridiculous understatement is that. I'll just address the lack of infrastructure and electricity throughout many many regions, and I think parts of Bagdad itself. When the US has suffered after natural disasters with loss of life, land destroyed, and power cut off for weeks sometimes, it is considered a "disaster". As is true, by our quality of life and usual amenities. My point and problem with the consciousness of the American is that they feel that power, clean and plentiful water, sewage,garbage collection, streets and safe traffic passages, over-supply of foods,etc. are all RIGHTS. They are not a right, but a privilege, a blessing actually, and one most here take fully for granted. A couple months ago, high winds damaged the city, and over a million people were w/out power for up to a month. I was w/out for 10 days. A neighbor said to me one day that "this is outrageous, this lack of preparedness is not acceptable!!!". Impatient and angry was the way most affected were. I was fully ashamed and embarrassed when I simply picked ONE of the 100s of situations and conditions around the world that lived without everything, pretty much. So, that the infrastructure should be rebuilt in Iraq is a given. How can they begin any life close to normal when so much is gone and unusable.

Sadly the US is too busy stealing oil to assist with things beneficial to benefit Iraq. All their spare resources are deployed ensuring the saftey of exploiting that facility

We're doing a fine job there, eh?
