BAGHDAD, Oct 22 (Reuters) - Violence in Iraq has dropped by 70 percent since
the end of June, when U.S. forces completed their build-up of 30,000 extra
troops to stabilise the war-torn country, the Interior Ministry said on
Monday.

Gig,

So now you are not only a knee-jerk European America hater

Jeeze, guys, I thought you came from the land of the free and all. Can't we
have an interesting discussion about this without throwing personal insults?
Kind of degrades your arguments if you start doing that as soon as someone
ventures a different opinion.

You don't remotely know me enough to be able to make that statement above. And
it's a typical knee-jerk ugly American redneck reaction of you, too ;-)


...the Interior Ministry said on
Monday.

Gee, I guess that's a truly objective and trustworthy source who would have
nothing to gain from coming to that conclusion, right?

I don't know you at all except for what you have wrtitten here. Your posts
when they are aviation related are ususally right on. But give you the
slight opening for a chance to make a negative comment about the US and you
jump on it every time. That is my definition of knee-jerk.

Reuters is anti-american enough for you? How about this.

The problem is that the majority of Americans who write here are right
wing "right or wrong my country" "screw all foreigners" types. That
observation is not anti-US, it's anti-bigotry. If you were all a bit
more moderate there wouldn't be an urge to jump on it every time. We
know there are moderate Americans around, but they aren't writing here.

That would be funny if it weren't so sad.
