I would consider myself neutral in Iraq, because both sides are atrocious. Islamist government vs. Islamist insurgents. Gee, what a choice. The US is just propping up Islamists. There's nothing anti-American about opposing that.

So, like these journalists, I just want the US out now. Period. And all aid to the Iraqi regime cut off.

So dazzleman, do you support the Iraqi government?

What other government? The current one led by the Islamist party led by al-Jaafari.

No, it's not the Iraqis in general, but al-Qaeda terrorists that we should hate. 

There doesn't seem to be any indication that these were al-Qaeda based groups who kidnapped her.

Wow that is really heads up thinking(sarcasm). The arabs that captured this flake were just mad about a sexual encounter they shared with her that left them with the big stiffy.(joke)  Come on now lib. You know they were Al Queda.

It could have been an Iraqi insurgent/Ba'athist group.

whatever...in practical terms, they're all the same...

No thier not.

From where I'm sitting, thier the same.  What is the great difference between them?

There are HUGE differences between Islamist extremists and Baathists. So big that if any one takes power, pretty much everyone in the other group is going to end up lying in an unmarked grave. If Islamist extremists took power you can basically be guaranteed that every single person who ever worked for Saddam will quickly be dead/in hiding and Saddam was killing hundreds of Islamist extremists who opposed his rule for years. This is like saying communists and Nazis are the same.
