Why are we still there? Think of the schools here we could have build with the hundreds of billions of dollars... Why are we going in debt to rebuild Iraq?? Does GWB think it will pave his road to heaven?

What a couple of delusional fools. Why has it taken them so long to admit, what so many knew going into Iraq? There was no WMD - there were no terrorists in Iraq (except the thousands that have now been created!). These two bumbling emperiors not only have no clothes, they have no shame. Can we please get rid of these idiots asap? Bring it on....

The overwhelming support of the American people to our US Forces in Iraq is a fact that even the left wing liberals cannot deny. The. President Bush and PM Blaire said that ‘not everything since liberation’ of Iraq has turned out as the way we had expected or hoped. What a surprise to the left wing liberals and the liberal media for which everything always turn out their way…like Clinton’s attack on the Pharmaceutical plant in Africa, and Clinton’s refusal to get captured Ben laden from Sudan. The great achievement of the new Iraqi government getting approval from the Iraqi parliament that represents the people of Iraq and was elected in free democratic elections. Every American that appreciates freedom of 50 million Iraqi and Afghani people is thanking our great US military forces, which did what nobody else in the world could do. Congratulations to the British forces and Blaire that stood with our troops to achieve this great milestone for the people of Iraq, and for a new Middle East.

They would have acknowledged nothing if things hadn't come out in the media. They should both be impeached.

You meant the overwhelming support growing AGAINST the war in Iraq, didn't you? You are obviously the only hermit living in New York these days. Your own group of fellow New Yorkers just protested a few weeks ago, and filled the streets of New york City for blocks!

Why are you bashing Tony Blair?

Our Prime Minister is the greatest Englishman to have ever set foot on this earth from the greatest nation on this earth, England.

Bush and Blair can go to hell... Iraq will never be free. Our actions have created sooo many Iraqi rebels. Most of them have nothing to lose.

We're not helping. We only get credit for ruining Iraq. And now how do you suppose we can afford to rebuild it? I'll tell you how... by exploiting Iraq's resources. Isn't that what we're good at? Its all a conspiracy!!!

Can you name for me a single major nation's intelligence agency which maintained that there were no WMDs in Iraq back before America and her allies went in there in March of 2003? As for terrorists not being in Iraq before this present war, the ignorance revealed by this statement is breathtaking. Zarqawi of Al Qaeda went into Iraq six months before the war began. Saddam Hussein had all kinds of direct dealings with Ansar al-Islam, a major terrorist group in northern Iraq, which in turn had numerous connections with Al Qaeda. Then there is the matter of Abu Nidal. Terrorists aplenty were in Iraq long before we decided this brutal dictator and his sons, who made the UN Oil-for-Food Program a farce, had to go. Criticize the war if you like, but at least get your facts straight.

Blair was an okay guy until he sucked up to President Bush. He allowed himself and your country to be led into a war that should have never been started in the first place. If you watched the news conference last night, you will see him grinning like an idiot everytime Mr. Bush spoke.

I understand you're moving your family to that great new democracy, I wish you well. Just remember, what used to be a perfectly functional city of Baghdad has now power for one hour a day and sewer flowing in the streets...oh yes, what a success story... an election does not a democracy make. How would you like to give your little speech to the hundreds of veterans (and their wives) that lost a limb in Iraq?

With all due respect, Kim, please stop being the victim of a con-game. You're probably a nice person and I'm not trying to insult you but your statement sounds EXACTLY like Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh talking points. Do a little research on the history of Iraq and where Saddam got the so-called weapons of mass destruction to fight the Iranians in the fisrt place. DON'T FALL FOR THEIR PROPAGANDA!

Actually I can give a good speech to the families of the 3000 dear Americans that were killed on 9/11 by the Islamic terrorist Al Kaida. As a matter of fact these Islamic terrorists are still after us to kill us, left wing liberals and the other Americans as well. They have all kinds of names like Taliban, Hamas, Hezbollah, Jihad and they are supported by the axis of evil Iran. A liberal president like Clinton did not believe it is a good idea to fight these Islamic terrorists... and probably could talk to Bin laden and come back with a piece of paper with the words "peace on earth"...However, since left wing liberal democrats are the minority in this country and will probably with stay there few more years, our president and commander in chief will continue to fight these killers for the security of the American people...
