Description:

Did America's mistakes create the Iraqi insurgency? Nearly four years after President Bush declared an end to combat in Iraq, the country is still fraught with daily casualties, costly commitments, and an ongoing debate on how to end the violence. How did it come to this? This week, NOW's David Brancaccio speaks with two very different, but unforgettable men who allege that U.S. bungling in Iraq created and fueled the deadly insurgency. Paul Hughes, a retired Army colonel, was part of the transition team after the U.S. invasion of Iraq. He says key decisions were made that ignored the realities of Iraq. Omar Fekeiki was a Washington Post reporter and translator who risked his life to help U.S. journalists. Both Hughes and Fekeiki are featured in a new Sundance prize-winning documentary, "No End in Sight," which exposes what it calls "a chain of critical errors, denial, and incompetence that has galvanized a violent quagmire." Fekeiki's identity was hidden in the documentary for his protection, but he chose to appear unmasked on NOW for the first time.

I don't see what that has to do with Ron Paul. He's no zealot. You're welcome to believe whatever you like of course, but recognize that Atheism is a belief too. It seems to me that to state that you are 100% certain that there is no god is just as closed minded as any zealot who claims to have a monopoly on truth. The fact of the matter is that none of us KNOWS what exists beyond our ability to perceive.

Visionary I apologize I was worked up by someone else's narrow-minded comment that I made a stupid comment. The fact is Ron Paul is a district away from my own and I truly respect the man moreover I think he's by far the best Candidate. You are correct my beliefs in the afterlife are as you say, there is no way my belief that god does not exist is 100% right maybe I'm wrong but I'm prepared to accept this. It's much easier to go with the flow.

What you liberals don't realize is that we're showing the Iraqis how to be free. Just as we fought of the British and declared indepandance, we are simulating the exact same sort of battle against an imperialistic superpower for the Iraqis. We're playing the oppressive imperial power, and they get to be the nation fighting for independance. Why else do you think we haven't just carpet bombed the hell out of Iraq by now? Think about it!

This is why Iraq APPEARS to be a failure, when really it's all a part of our master plan. We won't stop until we've evacuated every single US serviceman out of there. Then and only then will Iraq be free. So now you know the real strategy in Iraq. I don't want to hear any more whining about how bad it is over there. The worse it gets the better it gets.

The CFR and the Straussians got America into this mess, so we need a president that isn't connected to these two groups. Now, I am only aware of one man who isn't and that man is Ron Paul. He will get my vote and I suggest anyone who doesn't knoow what I'm talking about to investigate.

DLF, Where do you get this misinformation or did you just make it up yourself? 9/11 did not come from the Taliban and they are not Arabs.

Twenty20Visionary: "...but recognize that Atheism is a belief too..." Well, there's strong atheism and there's weak atheism. Negative belief in any unfounded hypothesis requires no faith whatsoever.
