It will not change anything - the violence and daily killings in Iraq will continue unabated and more American soldiers will die.

Yes they will, but if you do a little bit of research, California is a far more dangerous place to live, according to crime rates vs. war related things than Iraq is, but you never hear about it.

 

Just food for thought.

few people know that there's a law in iraq that states a person over the age of 70 cannot be sentenced to death.... april 28th he was going to turn 70. so the rush was on to have the sentence carried out prior to that date

Correct. If we were still over there in 20 years, it would be the same. Civil War or not, were still targets.

 

IMO we have better things to spend 2 billion dollars a week on.

I agree. Take that money and give it back to the people who earned it.

Just gotta realize in 70 years..theres still gonna be terrorists in Iraq. Theres terrorists all over the world, always will be. I dont see how us having troops in Iraq is keeping them off our turf. Terrorists can get into America with ease, occupying Iraq isnt gonna stop anything.

So I guess we should all crawl in a hole, think happy thoughts and everything will be alright? Dictatorist regimes harbor and promote terrorism, the Al-qaeda style and the suppression of their own peoples voices. The spread of democracy across the world decreases the strength of terrorism by limiting their operations; and sure terrorist live here but they have to work in secret unlike places like Iran and Palestine where they can and are encouraged to openly discuss operations.

I'm glad you didn't say that in German, Japanese or Italian.

you stole my thunder...Hussein only gassed about 10,000 kurds before we stopped with the appeasement. I'm curious where that line of thinking will get us with N Korea and Iran?

I can't believe what some of these posts are saying.

 

 

 

Saddam Hussein was a significant speed-bump on the road towards making things right in Iraq. Now, that speed bump is gone.

 

True, it's not likely to make a drastic overnight change for our Men and Women of service fighting over there. But it should help them in the long run.

 

 

 

One of the most Rotten Sons of b*tches of our time is gone. Can't we celebrate it?

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
