I started just to post one thing for one reason.
This deal is about to blow in Iraq.

It is going to blow in that province along the Iranian border - and it is going to happen right now.

Those oil fields S of Kirkuk - it starts right there.

You could count this thing in hours right now.

Who in gods name put our kids there?? As long as I live - I will never forgive these people.


This isn't just Bush now - Those people commanding had a responsibility to do the right thing.

And they didn't.

Yeah - he is the "Commander in cheif" - but I know they knew better too. Man is just a moron afterall.

My judgement in the end is about how many kids live, really.

He is just an afterthought to me.

Joe

2. They are pretty smart - and we are pretty arrogant.
It won't start anything. We don't think much of the british anyway.

You get it right?? This is so asymetric this war - a $100 or $500 weapon can defeat the 50 million dollar weapon if the will is there.

You know how fucked we really are right now??

I will NEVER forgive these people for not doing the right thing.
ANd THAT is ignoring the moral imperative too.

Joe

This will be on CNN - I guess- makes me sick to my stomache.

way.

Yeah - totally agree with your point.

9. That's news to me, the brass have been advising withdrawal for years
nothing has come of it yet. Before his sacking resignation, Blair committed at least a Brigade to stay until the US pulls out.

5. His Ignorance Of The Region Is Astounding
What will it take for this shitstick to understand he reignited a centuries-old civil war and his military is being played by all sides. This bastard still cherry picks the intel and the field reports he wants to see and ignores all else. He finds strawmen when it fits his fantasy...even bending it to say Iran is supply weapons to Al Queda who are Sunnis and are more interested in killing Shiites than Americans. He used to boast how he never left the country and continues to lead this parallel universe that has not just unraveled nearly 50 years of diplomacy in that region but centuries of religious intolerance.

The saving grace is how this regime has so discredited itself it will serve as a long painful reminder of what conservative rule is about...and will keep the Repugnicans in the minority for years and decades to come.

6. There are people at the Pentagon and CIA that know all too well
the dynamics of the region.

Junior has his mindset, he talks to GOD, he is GOD's messenger and the second coming.

He is on a mission from GOD, and no earthly power will convince him otherwise.

12. "I want to be remembered as a Great Military Hero." - Commander AWOL
"So please pay no attention to the fact that I am a deserter, and totally out of my league, and "backed up" by a war=profiteering VP clown named Cheney with five freaking military deferments."

- Commander AWOL

8. I think he understands the region perfectly...
I do not believe in the ignorance of this administration and the power behind them. I believe they are accomplishing exactly what they want to accomplish.
