Marie, you’ve been rooting for failure since the beginning – you’re pitiful.

Now, if all this stuff is true and the developing storm with the Bushgate scandals and the illegal incursion in Iraq turning to shit and Katrina etc. etc..

If, if , if all that stuff and rest is emerging don’t you think DUBYA has an escape parachute being packed up. He is not that stupid. Put yourself in his place. I would be thinking about it. Wouldn’t you? George W. Bush is all about managing perception, not process.

What is a good way out of Iraq? How about the face saving “The Avian flu pandemic is coming so we must bring home the troops to manage and quarantine population.”

By even a complete fool has to realize that if he wants any good historical reviews he needs to mend his ways.

Have you noticed how all the talking heads are talking about Avian flu since at a recent press conference Bush mentioned it as a major problem?

Have you seen their plans for bases in Iraq? Run check, you’ll find a few more.

As long as carlyle group is still around, you won’t see peace on this planet.

As long as Halliburton, Bechtel and the like have shrubco it will be beans for us and pork for them.

As long as shrubco goes unpruned the devistation of democracy will continue for decades!

Do you really want barbara and jenna running things 20 years from now?

Think about it, they are in their 20’s. 35 is the current legal age for president (like those two pay attention to the law). If dumbya finds a way to steal yet another election that puts us at 2012 before we have a chance of correcting things. That leaves only a 4 year window of sanity in the white house (if then) and you guessed it, the spaun of the devil are running age.

Hell if Hitler had the shrubs lack of ethics, we would be speaking german by now. Or those of us left would be.

During his congressional testimony, Army Gen. George W. Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, said that troop reductions were necessary to “take away one of the elements that fuels the insurgency, that of the coalition forces as an occupying force.” A smaller U.S. presence could alleviate some of the anger feeding the insurgency, Casey suggested.

We say remove them all and alleviate all of the anger.

Really? I always thought they were excellent examples of the RIGHT wing aspects of governments to become totalitarian – and why it’s important to support liberal and progressive democracies world wide. The fact that you clearly know nothing of the lessons of vietnam, explains why your party keeps repeating their mistakes!

Excerpts from Professor Juan Cole piece:

The first reason to get the ground troops out now is that they are being fatally brutalized by their own treatment of Iraqi prisoners.

The second reason is that the ground troops are not accomplishing the mission given them, and are making things worse rather than better.

Basically, if all the US military in Iraq is capable of is operations like Fallujah and Tal Afar, then they really need to get out of the country quick before they drive the whole country, and the region, into chaos.

Even as they are chasing after shadows in dusty border towns, the US military is allowing much of Baghdad to fall into the hands of the guerrillas.

And that is why we have to get the ground troops out. Counter-insurgency has to have both a military and a political track. Even as the enemy is being pressed, you have to reach out to the civilian leadership and try to draw them into a truce.

Things in the Sunni Arab areas are getting worse, not better.

I conclude that the presence of the US ground troops is making things worse, not better.

Let’s get them out, now, before they destroy any more cities, create any more hundreds of thousands of internally displaced persons, provoke any more ethnic hatreds by installing Shiite police in Fallujah or Kurdish troops in Turkmen Tal Afar. They are sowing a vast whirlwind, a desert sandstorm of Martian proportions, which future generations of Americans and Iraqis will reap.

The ground troops must come out. Now. For the good of Iraq. For the good of America.
