3. Just read that one a while ago - they're really melting down!
Bwuhahahahahahaha!!

Styupid fuckers!

Everything is unfolding exactly as we predicted would happen with the Iraq War - back in 2000! Even before the asshole went into power, weren't all we liberal intelligent types saying "If he's elected, we're gonna be at war with Iraq within a couple years, just as soon as they can dismantle Clinton's good military and fuck it up bad enough, and it's gonna be a great big fucking awful mess once we're there."

I know I said that. I said it constantly.

16. So, at the cost of billions of dollars, we just made West Iran.
Hulk could have told that two year ago. Hulk strangely now talking like Hollywood indian

Good point. Iraq is an overwhelming success, and way ahead of schedule. Some people around here have drank the MSM koolaid.

Hulk feeling better now. Things back to normal in Hulk world



DU'ers are laughing there asses off reading this thread.....

Hulk no laugh...okay Hulk laugh Hulk was lying about not laughing bad Hulk


Hulk think this guy fucking nutsyfagan
To: Charlesj
Okay lets imagine Iraq does turn into an islamic theocracy (and this is highly unlikely given facts on the ground). Whose fault would it really be?

Well it's clear that Islamic Iran is responsible for helping the terrorists in Iraq and forcing Iraq to become an islamic theocracy.

In other words, if Iran was secular this wouldn't be a problem. Any blame for an Iraqi theocracy lies squarely at the feet of Jimmy Carter for allowing an Islamic Iran to emerge. Also if Clinton had actually pursued Bin Laden this wouldn't have been a problem in the first place.

Just think the liberals should know this before they try to spin the situation (seems they have started).

22. "Jimmy Carter for allowing an Islamic Iran to emerge"... Can I hear an
"October Surprise" or at the very least an "Iran/Contra"?

Going once!

Going twice!

Sold to the gentleman with the brassy voice!

28. It seems to me that a brutal dictator was overthrown in order to
install that theocracy! Are they saying the world was better off with the Shah of Iran in power? :shrug:

Uhm, because your ardent desire to live in a Christian state makes us all the more democratic, right? :grr:

18. I think it's the silent "X-tian" in front of the word "Democracy"...
That's thrown the monkey wrench in the works.

I really really really think the *ies thought they
could do it.

For that matter, there's more than 1 million muslims here in the UK too, but I thought for best effect I'd quote a democratic country in which muslims were the overwhelming majority. :)

38. Yeah, but, what concerns me is *why* it's suddenly a failure...
It's not because of the sacrifices of our troops...
It's not because of the outrageous monetary cost of the war...

It's because they think the war is hitting them in the pocketbook...

Typical.

40. so... let me get this straight
We sent our guys and gals over to that Hell-Hole to die for 'Iraqi Freedom' and now that they want to use their freedom we're pissed off? Wasn't America founded on the principle of religious freedom? But if your religion isn't Christianity, you're a bad bad person and you hate America!? And now we're trying to make an Islamic country stop being Islamic?! Bullshit

Grow up rePUKES, it's THEIR country, LEAVE THEM ALONE

Edited to add this priceless line from the freeper pubic:

"I just look at the scene in Iraq where they are meeting and I see MEN on the dais, not women. I also agree that the media and the dems are putting WAY to much pressure on these people to meet an artificial deadline..."
