Finally an Iraq War plan that makes sense!
From the msnbc.com front page:



So, when do they swear in President Pelosi?

1. Yes and No. The addition of political agreements and truces with waring factions is what
the Baker Report suggested (and Bush ignored), but I still have a problem with the 'removal' of corrupt and militant Iraqis from their governmental positions. It smacks of us setting a more accommodating 'puppet' government in place and showing our total disregard for 'sovereignty'.

2. When I read the msnbc.com headline...
... I was LOL, ROTFL -- since "bad leaders" are what got us into this fix, and they should be removed.

As for us further pulling the strings on a puppet government, that's one of an infinite number of unworkable strategies for Bush to choose from in the wake of Operation Pandora.

Unworkable because, among other reasons, trusting the Bush administration to select Iraqi officials who are less corrupt that the ones in place would be a Herculean act of naïveté.

6. Oh No! You gave away our Secret Plan.
Now the enemy is going to start liking us for our winning. And then where will we be?

Then the next thing you know they'll be issuing videos asking us to stay in Iraq...

7. My favorite winger meme is that...
... if we tell the enemy the date when we're leaving, they'll stop the killing until we're gone. Apparently, Repubs would rather our troops continue to be bombed and fired upon.
