1. Well, that certainly did not take long
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.18.11)
I think Obama needs to pick up the phone and call the families of the four dead United States servicemen and explain to them why it is in United States interests to close Guantanamo and how the United States has brought "democracy" to Iraq -- which includes a legitimate judiciary. Let's see if he has the stones to make the calls. I'm inclined to think he does not because his entire presidency has been premised on extraordinary cowardice in the face of real challenge.
2. UNITED STATES AND IRAQ.
SJOERD RUURD VAN DER ,   MULTIVERSE   (12.18.11)
THE PRESENT US-ADMINISTRATION COULD CONSULT THE ENTIRE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE OF IT''S MEMBERSHIP HOW TO DEAL WITH THAT ISSUE.
3. Obama is a traitor...oh well...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (12.18.11)
4. Iraq's Business
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (12.18.11)
Bush negotiated a Status of Forces Agreement. Obama enforced and complied with the treaty. What happens now is the business of Iraq. Iraq is sovereign again.
5. #2 SJOERD - LEARN A NEW PHRASE
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.18.11)
You sound like a parrot, always repeating the same thing UN is lopsidedly in favor of the Muslim's, even being as blind and irrelevant as you are, you shoul be aware of tht simple fact "MULTIVERSE" you're not of this earth, in fact, you sound like your out of this world, someplace inouter space Don't forget to give regards (talking in the mirror) to your other Aliases, Observer Egypt and Hajibolah
6. #3 Chris-Obama is not a trator to his faith
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.18.11)
Born, educated & raised a Muslim, he's performing exactly as he was trained to do, as the Muslim Manchurian Candidate President
7. Rottenloser a qestion
Horst ,   Ge   (12.18.11)
Your PM is Merkel right? STFU on issues that are not your business
8. Kudos to commander Daqduq...
Mark Van Hoff ,   Belgium   (12.18.11)
9. to #1 - Obama Calls Every Family
Mark of Lewiston ,   USA   (12.18.11)
Obama calls and writes a personal letter to each and every family who has lost a service member in Iraq and Afghanistan killed or captured during the Obama watch. He has visited with many of the families of the fallen. You would know this if you knew anybody who served in the last 10 years. Obama kept the word of the United states, as giver by the former President, George W Bush.
10. To: No. 4
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.18.11)
Your idiocy doesn't end, does it? Do you not agree that the abduction and murder of four United States servicemen is very much the business of the United States? If Iraq is not up to the task, let whatever ridiculous and fragile "coalition" that passes for a government of Iraq extradite Daqduq to the United States. Any agreement entered into between Iraq and the United States does not extend to fraudulent charges and sham trials. If Iraq really wants to prove its legitimacy, let it extradite Daqduq to stand trial in the United States. This whole episode is an embarrassing slap in the face of the United States -- after everything we have done for the Iraqis -- and should not be tolerated. Of course, given the current inhabitant in the White House, expect more similar such humiliating insults to come.
11. To: No. 7
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.18.11)
In view of the fact that you comment a great deal on matters of Israeli politics, one could say precisely the same thing to you, couldn't one? One could, and I will: STFU on issues that are not your business.
12. #10 - Not under the SOFA Framework
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (12.19.11)
Bush made a deal for the US. Rule of Law (for a change) is supposed to be part of what the USA stands for. And since treaties trump political revenge, I expect the US to follow the rule of law and that includes adhering to treaties made even by George W.
13. To: No. 9
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.19.11)
You are quite delusional. There is a whole department at the White House tasked with nothing else but compose letters to the families of the fallen and apply Obama's signature stamp to the letter. If he visited with any families of the fallen, he did so in the run-up to the 2008 election. Now that we are in the run-up to the 2012 election and Americans are dropping like flies in Afghanistan, Waziristan and Yemen, he might be contemplating doing photo-op visits again. You would know this if you had half a brain. I know plenty of people who served in the last ten years. Of course, these are all high-ranking officers, which would explain why you wouldn't know that.
14. #10 "after everything we have done for the Iraqis"
Robert ,   Australia   (12.19.11)
....and you call others delusional!
15. What's the point of a disobedient puppet government?
Henry from New York ,   USA   (12.19.11)
16. Terrorist Commander Daqdug no 8
LION OF JUDAH   (12.19.11)
Your friend the commander his days coming to an end.Just wait & see Mr HOOF.
17. #15 Henry from NY
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.19.11)
Iraq will be very obedient once Iran puts a leash on them Malalki has been negotiating the Iranian takeover for months, he has become reall kissy kissy with Iran, a less than half a year (my estimate) Iraq will be a poodle on an Iranian tether
18. YOU NEED TO LEARN MORE............#1
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (12.19.11)
Rather than chellenging every conceivable decision taken by USA.On almost all the subject you tend to make it look as though you are an authority of some kind.Matters of this importance are not decided on holidays,Sarah.There must have been legalities involved and for God sake don't write back to tell us that you know the laws better.The person is still in the hands of Iraqi judiciary and no further verdict has been issued.
19. Latest word is that he's being charged
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.19.11)
for entering Iraq without the proper documents They've already have oiled the cell door for his release
