Did a quick search for any such data. Aljazzera, nor anyone else is making such a claim.. In fact "Al" is reporting US troop moving in a blowing
stuff up. War still sucks...............but go get-em boys.

Found this...
From: FOX23 -- NEWS: Clashes break out
in center of Ramadi in Sunni Triangle west of Fallujah
Explosions shook the center of the Sunni Triangle city of Ramadi on Wednesday and U.S. troops clashed with insurgents, residents said.
Witnesses said they saw a U.S. Humvee on fire. Some of the clashes, which were continuing at sunset, erupted near the local administration building.
Smoke was seen rising from a street in the center of the city. 
And thatīs all it says...

There is a difference between normal patrol movement and a withdrawal.
Is it me, or are has the number of blatant anti American posters gone up here lately?

Agreed Howard. Although I'm cynical towards America, I'm no way against it. However, you are correct. There are alot of recent posts suggesting
that the US is going down etc without alot of constructive criticism.
Oh well.

See, now that's what pisses me off.  I'm not against America. I am, however, against the idiots running America because they're damaging our
nation and not even acknowledging their mistakes. It's their fault we got attacked in the first place. I've been screaming for years about this
$hit, but did anyone listen? Hell no!

The sad thing is we have citizens wanting to move to Canada, people taking sides with the terrorists and thier cause, and a "ship" load of confused
and scared AMERICANS, NOT KNOWING WHICH WAY IS UP.
Iran is making deals with China, North korea is still pissing in the wind and not a single one of us here in the United States knows what to believe
or who to trust anymore. Personally as a true red, white and blue American I feel its time for our good Ol Cowboy to do his thing and lets just get
passed all this, if you know what I mean.

There is no "past this thing." You don't get it. Our foreign policy has made this an ongoing problem. It's not going to get any better until we
address the real problems.

Word! Chinese subs have been spotted near Japan. North Korea has openly admitted to making Nuclear weapons. Iran is chanting "Death to Israel and
America!" Russia is losing track of her old nuclear weapons. Whose going to make the first move?

Way to go there Bahgdad Bob, No source, no link, no outside confirmation. Are you just trolling for points? Please put a link up to your information.

I can't believe you guys still think of the legitimate and popular iraqi resistance to a brutal and illegal foreign occupation as 'terrorists'.
That is a myth carefully entertained by fox news but you shouldnt fall for it. Those guys are peace-loving fighters in pursuit of their countrymen's
freedom and happiness by struggling for national independence from US Halliburton yoke. How can you criticize that attitude when you're not a
Halliburton stockholder ?

I think Sirino wants peace and self-determination to win, as opposed to warmongering american capitalism.

   And your talking about Fox Propoganda. Im sure you think Al Jazeera is a unbaised news source too
Are these the same peace loving people that kidnapp Red-Cross or other Humanitarian Aid people? The same ones the kill Iraqies more often then US
troops?
Im sure you think the most ruthless ones which happen to be foriegn fighters are fighting for Iraq's freedom.

This is to imply that the reason that they are fighting against a force that will be leaving is because they are bringing in a company that the
Iraqi people do not like? That Halliburton will infringe on their freedom?

BTW, While I am no fan of this "war", the "members" cheering for the people killing American soldiers make me ill.
