Just read on Rawstory.com, moron* and poodle making major announcement..
on Iraq. Any ideas what it could be???

I see troop reductions, just in time for the elections.

poodle is in the dumper and about to be dumped and moron* with his new found status as the worst pResident ever are desperate to do something.

This all comes on the heels of Iraq "establishing" a gov't. Yeah, gov't of the green zone.

Here's his excuse now to pull the plug and throw that country into full on civil war.

:cry: :popcorn:

1. I'm not expecting much. Probably a certain maybe about possibly
removing some troops sometime in the future, probably in the next six months. Or maybe not, who knows? You can't know the unknowable.

2. Let's see, building the world's LARGEST 'embassy'. Pulling
out of Iraq. Embassy. Iraq.

Bullshit, we ain't going nowhere if the neocons get their way.

5. but haven't you ever noticed that pattern?
They have done that before, they send in additional troops, then about 2 to 3 weeks later, they announce to the short attention span mouth breathing fox watchers that they are reducing troop levels.

They do that time and time again.

increased troop level (rotations)+ faux reduction = desperately needed approval ratings.

9. right, here it is
Fri May 19, 9:29 PM ET

WASHINGTON - U.S. military commanders are sending several hundred additional U.S. troops to
Iraq to bolster security as a new government takes shape in Baghdad, a defense official said Friday.

The extra troops are from a 1st Armored Division battalion that has been stationed in Kuwait as a reserve force.

Details of the movement, including timing, were not immediately available. The official who discussed it had direct knowledge of the decision but spoke on condition of anonymity because it had not been publicly announced.

The 1st Armored Division has had a brigade stationed in Kuwait for several months serving as a "call forward force," meaning it could be called upon to augment the troops in Iraq in certain situations. One of the brigade's battalions was sent to the Baghdad area in March to bolster security until a new national government was seated.

4. And the murderous thugs will claim the world is "safer, more secure"
for our attacking/invading/occupying.

They effing make me sick, worried about saving their own sorry, criminal political skins while tens upon tens of thousands are maimed, dead, and dying.

May justice one day find these war criminals...

10. And so it goes, "phased" pull out...get ready for the civil war...
However, where are they going to be "pulled out" to?

There are now many ships in the gulf, I believe they are to be "rotated" to them in prep for Iran. I don't see them coming home any time soon except for the token rear troops for the photo-ops.

13. You see promised troup reductions. That is only another lie to
try to save both of their asses in the upcoming elections. Do not be fooled.
